why Republicans should be feminists

Everybody, I have a really hot take, and I know a lot of Republicans—or in this case, probably more conservative Republicans—are gonna be mad at me, but keep in mind: yes, I am progressive. I am also a Republican. No, I'm not a conservative, and no, I'm not a Trump conservative. I do not like Trump. But this post is not even about that.

Today, I wanna talk about why—and here's the hot take—why Republicans should be feminists. Now, before you get on me, let me throw out some statistics here. Recent polling and studies indicate a growing trend of negative attitudes, low trust, and critical views of men among young women, particularly in the UK. A 2026 report suggested that among people aged 18–30, about 21% of young women hold an unfavorable view of men, and that scares me, because if you know me, I love women.

Yes, I'm a guy, but I like to hang out with women. A lot of them are my best friends. They're my sisters, and I don't think this is a good thing. Men and women should be best friends. And I'm not even talking about romantically—though that counts too if you're into that—but I'm talking more about just friendship in general.

And if you know me, I've been very outspoken on this website about human trafficking and why we should be against it—why we should use our healthcare to help women and children who have been human trafficked and give them free human resources, whether that would be therapy, hospital work, whatever, and also use that healthcare to help put the perpetrators in prison and face dire consequences.

My point is: we need to start seeing women as people—and not as objects, not as resources, but as people!

We need to start doing that bud?
Maybe it's a new concept to you as a Republican but believe or not, a whole lot of men who aren't have been on that path their whole lives.

@Ynotisay oh I see what you're talking about now I made a little air in my typing sorry I said I voted third party

@1930sfan OK. But if you vote Republican you voted for Trump. Whatever. I'm not your audience. Have a good one.
1930sfan · 26-30, M
@Ynotisay I did not voted for trump or even republican soo
But see, Republicans don’t want to be advocates for girls and women. Their platform is traditionalism, and the traditional role of women (according to them) is subservient.
That’s why so many are involved in organized religion.

And while I agree with your points about advocacy for girls and women, especially protecting them (men and boys, too), from trafficking—and punishing predators, that’s been a progressive platform for decades and the GOP doesn’t value it. Especially not since MAGA—Trump would not still be president if they did.

Nowadays, insisting that you’re a GOP conservative who supports progressive values is kind of like saying you’re an active Klansman, who supports equality among all races.

@bijouxbroussard I am a progressive Republican not a trump conservative
@1930sfan so what kind of conservative? A Reagan conservative?

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP I'm not even a conservative I am a Teddy Roosevelt style Republican

As a woman, I find it astonishing that you are just NOW discovering that women are...PEOPLE and not objects.

@1930sfan Goodness. I'm sorry to have jumped on you. But I DO believe MOST Republican men already know women are people and not objects. In fact, many Republicans on the news have been outraged and say things like, "Where are the feminists, and why are THEY not outraged.

@4meAndyou its okay I hope I did not make you mad that's not what am trying to do
4meAndyou · F
@1930sfan Not in the least mad.

the problem is, liberal progressives have completely destroyed the meaning of "feminism"

things were fine when things were limited to two genders and we still used capital punishment for violent criminals...

It sounds like you're conservative politically but progressive socially.

Some things, of course, transcend politics.

I agree. But the Republican party is way too stoic and old fashioned to accommodate feminism in any way. ☺
1930sfan · 26-30, M
@Zonuss my answer to that is simply let's prove them wrong What show at we can be Progressive and Republican at the same time let's take back our party
