"Forbes last week released its 2020 list of “The World’s 100 Most Powerful Women.” The women on the list—whose diversity spans 30 countries and four generations—include Senator Kamala Harris, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, singers Beyoncé Knowles and Taylor Swift, and former Georgia gubernatorial runner-up Stacey Abrams. While many well-deserving women who have risen into leadership roles in politics, media, and business grace Forbes’ 17th annual list, there is a noticeable gap: conservative women.
We don’t usually associate Forbes with liberal media, but the platform’s newly-minted list draws attention to the broader mainstream media’s antipathy for women who espouse traditional conservative values. The left, who fancy their team as the singular choice for women, champion only a limited set: those who conform to socialist doctrine. Left-wingers and their media allies heap excessive praise upon their progressive darlings—frequently for merely being of the female sex—while simultaneously either entirely ignoring or openly ridiculing free-thinking females whose allegiance to the Constitution and leadership acumen portends peril."
