GOP Senator Refers to Liberal Women As ‘Stepford Wives’ During Fox News Discussion On Conservative Women

Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum welcomed guest Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) to discuss a new piece in New York Magazine entitled “How Did Republican Women End Up Like This?”

Blackburn was not directly quoted for the article by Rebecca Traister, but her anti-trans questioning of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson during the latter’s 2022 confirmation hearings was included. The article explores the contradictory nature of some conservative women who portray themselves as simultaneously pious, traditional, and submissive while also being militantly independent as well as narrow-minded when it came to the subject of inclusivity.

MacCallum asked Blackburn about her response to the article, which Blackburn said she “laughed all the way through”:

Blackburn: Martha, I laughed all the way through this article because I thought the left absolutely requires submission of women to their ideology, and their goal is to really erase the lines of gender. And they would love to be able to do that, but they require that you submit. And if you ever challenge them, if you ever push back on them, then they are going to cut you out. They cannot stand strong, conservative, independent-minded women who really like being female, who really like being a mom, who really like being a woman. That does not fit their template. You know, I look at the left sometimes and I say they are the Stepford Wives of the leftist ideology because you have to come right into lockstep. You cannot deviate if you’re going to be a female leader on the left.

MacCallum: Yeah. I mean, the irony to me has always been that they talk about supporting women, but they only support liberal women. I mean, they should just say that up front because, yes, they are not supportive of women across the board. They are only supportive of women of one political ideology.
