Tea at Trianon: Why Do Feminists Despise Strong Conservative Women?

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

Why Do Feminists Despise Strong Conservative Women?

Many of us admire the steely composure of Sarah Sanders, and yet most feminists scorn her. Why? Because so-called "feminism" is not really about promoting the well-being of women but only the goals of the sexual revolution, goals which ultimately hurt women and their families. From Townhall:

Sarah Sanders is an excellent example of female empowerment. But, where’s Beyonce? No concert for Sarah Sanders? Isn’t Sanders “slaying it” right now? I guess not because the fake third-wave chupacabras HATE her. HATE her. Yep. Some examples? Here are some recent headlines:

“After Promoting Feminism, Chelsea Handler Retweets Video Mocking Sarah Huckabee Sanders” (Townhall)

“Liberal feminists destroy their own cause by diminishing Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ success” (The Blaze)

“How Sarah Sanders and the Women of Trumpland Hurt Women” (Mediaite)

I mean, these are only a few. They come out daily. I suppose you could scour Twitter to scrape the bottom of the feminist barrel (and it’s a deep, nasty, gross one) but those hate-filled, sexist, woman-hating tweets have no place here on Townhall.com. I don't even think feminists themselves would dispute that they hate Sanders. But she’s a woman who’s in a powerful political position, so - why?

Here’s why: Because third wave feminists (a.k.a. the most anti-woman group on earth) only want progressive women to smash through glass ceilings. Full-stop. Their ideology has nothing to do with “women’s rights” (which - that battle was won in the 70’s, I think) and everything to do with attempting to advance a “left of Bernie Sanders progressive agenda.” (Read more.)
