PC003 Political Contessa Stop Trying to Identify My Politics By My Gender

It’s possible to be a woman and a conservative. Many people are surprised to hear this: for some reason, the idea is out there that to be a republican is to hate women. I find this idea offensive, and in this episode, I talk about why you should too.

Today, I talk about the myth that women should be Democrats. I ask why our anatomy should define our political beliefs, and I note that women are able and allowed to have opinions about more issues than just reproductive rights. I list the reasons I find the assumption that I’m a Democrat offensive, and I note that everyone wants to hear a woman’s take on politics--until they find out she’s conservative.

“How does the left own woman? Did I miss the purchase of our gender and of our minds?”-Jennifer Nassour
