Most conservative women are not impressed with the idea of "female solidarity." They regard it as intellectually and morally foolish.

Also notice that if the *****First Female Candidate for U.S. President on a Major-Party Ticket***** were a Republican, we would not hear much about the fact from women--or from men.

Conservatives wouldn't think primarily of "The First Female President!!!"--or at least should try not to think that way--and would mention the fact mainly to show that so-called liberals weren't saying things like "...then, my daughters will know that nothing is to too great for them to aspire to. A woman can indeed be president of the United States." Any of that "female solidarity" would end well before that point.

(The same applies to a "racial" or "ethnic" solidarity, which leftists will never invoke for conservatives who are "people of color.")

I forgot to add this to my last post:

So, if liberal women were to argue that they support Clinton because they will vote for an unethical Democrat over any Republican, then that would be intellectually honest.

But liberal women do not say that. Instead, they laud Clinton and say that they want a female president as a role model for their daughters.

What I just wrote is relevant to this part too, at least for those "liberal" women (and men, too) who actually have thought about this matter and say something like that, even if they know it to be dishonest. I can easily believe that many "liberals" exist who have never thought about the matter and have never realized that they'd never laud a "trailblazing" conservative woman.

Identity politics is disgusting, and I fault both Dems and Republicans for turning people against each other based on groupings versus promoting individual ideals.
