Being a conservative woman isn’t really much different than being any other kind of woman, but there are a few key things I believe set us apart. While I don’t think I speak for all of us, I’m sure most will agree that these are characteristics all conservative ladies share. And for those of you who see yourself in this article, I would encourage you to find out more about conservatives and the women in politics and the media we look up to. Maybe you’ll see a new side to a political party you thought you couldn’t understand.
Of the many conservative women leading the fight for freedom, fearlessness is a trait they all share. Conservative women are fearless in everything they do. Whether it’s standing up for their beliefs or standing up to their critics, they are unashamed in being right. Conservative women aren’t afraid of those who try to break their spirit.
They don’t cower from catcalls or detractors, but instead, they dig their (very high) heels in and gear up for a fight. There is no hesitation in defending an unborn child’s right to life. They don’t pause when seeing a fellow woman being drug through the mud. And they definitely aren’t afraid of their second amendment right to bear arms. These women are valiant in their pursuit of conservative principles, and they aren’t afraid of anything the world throws at them.
Another trait of conservative women is their ambition. The women I look up to and the ones that I meet (while they are very few and far between) all have great ambitions and plans to change the world we live in. No dream is too big to chase. The thought of living in a man’s world is trivial. And if a conservative woman is told she’s going to make 79 cents to a man’s dollar, beware that she is going to prove everyone wrong once she steps into that office. When she’s told the world is against her or she isn’t capable of reaching her goals, she will make it her goal to see you swallow your words.
All conservative women have an abundance of compassion. Most of their beliefs stem from this trait, and it’s why they feel so strongly about the policies they stand for. Love for fellow citizens is why they push for economic policies that will help others get jobs and provide for their families. It’s why they promote equality of all people regardless of their personal lives. They also acknowledge that the government cannot fix everyone’s problems, and that’s why they fight for smaller government to allow people to take charge of their own lives. These women care deeply about people they don’t even know, and they use this concern for others to reflect in their own stances for freedom.
Not all conservative women are perfect. As I know from personal experience, we have our ups and downs. But we strive to be better and make this world a better place than when we found it. In this pursuit, we express these qualities in the unique way we can as strong and capable females.
Of course you don’t have to be a Republican to have these traits, but they are proud examples of the ways conservative women shine.
