If You’re a Conservative Woman, You’re Probably a ‘Handmaiden to the Patriarchy,’ According to Hillary Clinton
22nd May 2025
With one broad stroke, Democrat Hillary Clinton called all conservative women “handmaidens” in remarks at an event in New York City earlier this month.
“Well, first of all, don’t be a handmaiden to the patriarchy, which kind of eliminates every woman on the [Republican] side of the aisle, except for very few,” Clinton, 77, said when asked what advice she would give to the first female president.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., are among the “few” Republican women who don’t bow down to the patriarchy, according to Clinton.
