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!

I agree. But the Republican party is way too stoic and old fashioned to accommodate feminism in any way. ☺
