I don't think they've suddenly realized.. It's just misogyny doesn't feel good to them when it's directed at privileged republican white women and not lower class black women or latinas.

Yes, 55 Percent of White Women Voted for Trump. No, I’m Not Surprised.
Eh. Doubt.
If you're a woman and a Republican, awareness is not a trait you possess.

Yes, 55 Percent of White Women Voted for Trump. No, I’m Not Surprised.
they knew, its literally just the"only moral abortion is my abortion" shtick. same goes for LGBTQ+ poc trump supporters.
"Republican Women Suddenly Realize..."
No, they didn't. To be a Republican is to abandon realization entirely.

... until it affects them personally, of course
I saw a post yesterday from some SAHM with two young kids, who's influencer channel is apparently filled with tradwife shit about supporting your husband in all his works, etc. And she's crying because her husband wants a divorce, has cut off her credit cards, she doesn't have any money of her own, doesn't have any credit of her own, she hasn't worked in 15 years and has no idea how she's going to support herself.
Oops. All of this free public education and that’s what she does? No sympathy.
sounds like she managed to complete her tradwife wish. congrats to her
Awwww, love that for her!
SAHM?
Stay At Home Mom
Thanks 🤜🏼🔥🤛🏽
Any time, compadre.

Evangelicals openly claim that women are chattel.
It's central to their beliefs. Fact!
If feel like more of them just realizing that they won't be the exception to the rule and only really care now that it's obvious they'll get the shit end of the stick just like everyone else.
For a great many MAGAs it is and always was about weaponizing a social and political movement to hurt people they don't like and now that it's hurting them, we're seeing clearly that their principles never aligned with what they espoused. It's always hypocrisy with them, they aren't willing to be tradwives and follow the ideals they claim to support, but they're happy to use the idea to attack feminism.
If they wind up being forced out of politics, I have no sympathy for them. It was so very apparent, going all the way back to the beginning of Gamergate, that this was the trajectory of the movement.
This is actually all part of their delusion. Maga genuinely think that they are exceptional people and therefore exceptions will be made for them...
This is why they are always so shocked when the leopards eat their faces, they are supposed to be one of the good ones.
Sucks to be a piece of shit. Maybe they can improve... not holding my breath. Let them rot.
Shut up and get back in the house, Honey. Don't you know being a tradwife is Patriotic?
kitchen, pregnant and barefoot.
What went wrong if the republican tradwife is standing at the living room window?
The chain is too long.
"I didn't think I would have to put the penis in MY mouth."
There's probably not a whole lot of outage because this has been a pretty prominent feature of GOP thought since, if we are being nice, 2016 and if we're being honest, pretty much always. They didn't really hide or change anything.
Oh definitely always. Most of the "women" referred to here learned it from their parents who learned it from their parents etc. and so on.
And probably all of them have a "crazy" aunt who ran off to California with some guy and they haven't talked to her in years.
Nothing new under the sun. These women will either not learn anything or will not do anything differently. Except for the ~10% who do. And those will be fought over by the various factions of the left to ensure the omnipotence of the republiQan fascist agenda remains firmly in place.
I'm pretty sure it's because Republicans are distracting Republican women from the party's misogyny by being extremely cruel to transgender and non-binary people.
ETA: Just take President LBJ's quote, replace white man for woman and colored man for any LGBTQ+ person, and you'll get the idea.
Only because they're misogynists who aren't working fast enough to implement their preferred flavor of fascism. These "women" have no interest in democracy.
They thought the deal was "your career will be great if you help us wreck things for all the other women" and are now realizing the deal was actually "your career will be great (for a woman) if you help us wreck things for all the other women."
It's more than people who strive to be "one of the good ones" deserve.

Shock.
Anyway, the article only specifically mentions MTG and Mace as feeling like they aren't taken seriously. I think it'd be stranger if they both were taken seriously since they're fucking clowns.
Good point. It's not that they're women, it's that they're unhinged women. Although considering there are no women in leadership roles even at the committee level, it's definitely misogyny. Mace and MTG are the only ones who seem upset by it. At least publicly
maybe someday the nyt will realized they've been a big part of putting those misogynists in power.
We can only hope
Trump won the popular vote in 2024 due to large enough numbers of independent, politically-disengaged voters voting for economic change and forgetting just how racist and misogynistic the Republican Party is. This administration seems hell-bent on reminding them.
Another example is the huge swing Latinos made toward Trump last year, and, according to polling, they’re already noping the fuck out.
I just loooove how this economic change is going /s
FWIW, I recently listened to a breakdown of the "tradosphere", i.e. female trad influencers. They really walk the gap because they shouldn't be opening their mouths at all according to their own, erm, ethics (?I guess?).

edit: it's actually a podcast miniseries (EP1) introduced on QAA.
"Do as I say, not as I do" has been the motto of conservatives since like forever. It's not that surprising.

Again proving they are willing to abandon their own rights in order to hurt others, especially the "libs".
