6:00Now PlayingConservatives would call this, “playing the woman card.” Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, discuss. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"When White House counselor Kellyanne Conway tried to defend President Trump’s record on women Thursday, she picked a strange way to do it: claiming that attendees of the Women’s March, and many other women who oppose Trump, “just have a problem with women in power.”
“One thing that’s been a little bit disappointing and revealing and that I hope will get better is, turns out that a lot of women just have a problem with women in power,” Conway said onstage Thursday morning at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the nation’s most prominent gathering of conservative political activists and operatives.
Conway also praised Trump’s treatment of women in the workplace such as herself, as she often did during the campaign. But she also claimed that “this whole sisterhood, this whole ‘let’s go march for women’s rights,’” is really more about “constantly talking about what women look like, or what they wear, or making fun of their choices, or presuming that they are not as powerful as the men around.” She said it’s “unfortunate” that many feminists have such a “presumptive negativity about women in power.”
Conway is right about one thing: Research clearly shows that a lot of people, women included, really do have issues with women in power. Women are judged more harshly than men are for their leadership failures, and even for seeking leadership positions in the first place. It’s likely that Conway herself, as the first woman campaign manager to get her candidate elected president, has had firsthand experience with that in her professional life. Perhaps that experience is what led her to make these comments.
But to say that women who oppose Trump are the ones who really have issues with women, and not Trump himself, dodges the deeper problems associated with gender and society. It’s also a classic example of how conservatives often view feminism and other movements for equality.”*
