Amanda Marcotte of Salon‘s unhinged rants usually come out of sheer projection, we know. This is a woman who hates her conservative family members and will do anything to shame them.
Marcotte has called Republican women several names before but the word she chooses to describe us today is “complicit“.
I mean, she’s called us self-loathing before, too. But this latest word salad draws upon Republican women like Marjorie Taylor Greene being ousted by The GOP.
Greene’s celebrity and ambition clearly alienate the mostly-male membership that still views women either as helpmeets or sex objects, not as equals. This resentment of Greene for trying to rise above her station isn’t far from the surface in most coverage of the controversy.
Greene, like most Republican women, is deaf to the clear lesson here: Complicity will not protect you.”-Amanda Marcotte, Salon
I would argue with Marcotte that MTG was not complicit at all. Did she have some crazy notions and ideas that we all thought were a bit wacky? Yes. Beige, establishment Republicans simply did not like her ideas and did not like that she did not play the game. If Greene were as “complicit”, as Marcotte says she is, she wouldn’t have proposed federal legislation to ban the gender transitioning of minors.
But MTG was a threat and she was “complicit” in this threat, says Marcotte. Republican men only want women who are not “real” threats in their spaces, apparently. And the Democrats always uplift women, right, Amanda? They always choose the most competent of women to represent them because they are not the “threatened” type? Is this why we have Kamala Harris as VP?
Complicit women don’t “do” Venn diagrams, right?
Let’s look at other women the Democrats chose to represent them. We have Nancy Pelosi, former Speaker of the House, Maxine Waters (Impeach 45!), and, how can we forget-Alexandria-Everyone-Wants-To-Sleep-With-Me-Ocasio-Cortez! The Democrats uplift women, you see. And, boy, do we have some intellectual brainiacs listed above! Unfortunately, the men are not much better at all. Case in point, look at what is sitting in The White House.
Marcotte attacks the alimony laws in Florida. See, Republican women? This is what complicity gets you. She also goes in for the jugular on Moms For Liberty because “family values” in Marcotte’s delusional brain mean brainwashed women who vote Red down-ballot.
Witness the rise of Moms for Liberty, a group like many before it that sells conservative women on the idea that they can somehow gain power through embracing submissive gender roles.”-Amanda Marcotte
Moms for Liberty was deemed an “extremist” organization by a civil rights watchdog. Marcotte supports this claim because they ran a quote from Adolf Hitler, “He alone, who OWNS the youth, GAINS the future” in one of their newsletters.
I mean, Ms. Marcotte, were they wrong in using this quote? Possibly using any quote from that horrific man, Adolf Hitler, is in bad taste. But who, again, is “coming for our children“?
As feminists have often patiently explained, ‘family values’ is just code for male domination. If protecting male privilege conflicts with protecting families, Republicans will choose the former. That’s why Trump’s status as a thrice-married chronic adulterer has never been a problem for the party of ‘family values.'”-Amanda Marcotte
Umm, no, it’s not. And, let’s talk, just a moment, about the male privilege of the Democrats, shall we? Trump is still living in Amanda Marcotte’s head rent-free. But she, indeed, is complicit in ignoring the glaring misogyny and dysfunction that surrounds Joe Biden and his family. We have Pedo Joe who has been sniffing the hair and going in for a smooch with young girls for decades. We have his SON, who, as a MALE Biden, has solicited hookers and strippers on crack-cocaine benders. This son of his, made millions holding a position he was not qualified to hold, yet tried to get out of child-support payments for his own daughter. The whole Biden family refuses to acknowledge this young child as a member of the family because she is “the stripper’s kid”, to include the most complicit of them all, DOCTOR Jill Biden. So, Ms. Marcotte, spare me the “family values” horse$hit.
The ‘soft power’ that women are promised through the dutiful performance of traditional roles isn’t real power. That’s why women spend decades being obedient housewives, only to be slapped in the face when they want fair compensation.”-Amanda Marcotte
The so-called “obedient” housewives Marcotte references are fed up with the hypocrisy of the Democrats and their screwed-up, upside-down agendas. We are far from complicit in this and we see this for what it is-a desire to fundamentally change our children and our society. Hell hath no fury like a women scorned and a mama bear who comes in contact with a predator. Or, a woman who gets stripped of a championship title by a man in a dress. The Democratic Party are the predators in this instance. It is the Democrats who want to wear down, mold and shape society (not just women) and make us all “complicit”.
It seems as if Salon‘s Amanda Marcotte has been living in her Brooklyn flat, socially-distanced, liberal bubble for so long that she does not know us Conservative women at all. We’re all “complicit, submissive, uneducated, unskilled, unqualified, self-loathing, twits”, apparently. Keep thinking that, Toots. Underestimate us, Amanda. That will be fun.

Welcome, Instapundit Readers!
male membership that still views women either as helpmeets or sex objects, not as equals
She doesn’t understand what “helpmeet” means, obviously. She also (Yeah, I know, this has been obvious for a decade or more) doesn’t have any idea what “equal” means, really. She has the notion it’s about power, instead of dignity and love.
The Democrats uplift women, you see. And, boy, do we have some intellectual brainiacs listed above!
Well, yeah. They’ve obviously lifted these women up. WAY up above their capabilities.
But they lift them up for a reason: these women are doctrinaire supporters of the Church of Progressivism. They enable its expansion across America, by power or by persuasion propaganda.
sells conservative women on the idea that they can somehow gain power
Well, no, that’s actually not what it does. But Marcotte is so short-sighted she can’t see anything except through the lens of power. The idea they don’t want power (except authority over their homes and children) is totally non-understandable to her.
‘family values’ is just code for male domination
Only in the eyes of feminists who – again – cannot see anything except through the lens of power. It’s all about controlling the other person – in the family and in politics and in every other aspect of life.
“No man’s gonna tell me what to do with my life!” You offer reasons for a woman to choose to stay at home as a mom, and they bristle – not because your reasoning is wrong, but because they don’t want any authority over them, ever.
Gee, that sounds a lot like Pride (the deadly sin), doesn’t it? It sounds a lot like making oneself god, instead of the Creator. It sounds a lot like a narcissist, doesn’t it?
The ‘soft power’ that women are promised through the dutiful performance of traditional roles isn’t real power.
No, it isn’t, by how you define power. You define it as raw and coercive. You define it as vengeful and triumphant.
That “soft power” you disdain is how entire generations are raised to be great. You been sold a bill of goods, honey.
only to be slapped in the face when they want fair compensation.
Oh, honey, if you do work commensurate with a man, then you’ll get paid like a man. It’s that simple.
stripped of a championship title by a man in a dress
Technically a man in a one-piece. 😉
The Democratic Party are the predators in this instance.
No. It is all of Progressivism and every Progressive. It is not limited by any means to one party, nor to politics. It so happens that Progressives flock to the Democrat party, but there’s plenty in the Republican party, too. Otherwise we would have ended this farce decades ago.
Underestimate us
Shouldn’t that be “mis-underestimate us”? 😉

Marcotte is a pointless imbecile whose juvenile opinions have never had an impact on anyone above the emotional age of six. It’s great to watch her aging into lonely cat lady spinster era of her miserable life.
Amanda is the type of feminist who hates the fact that she has equality but it hasn’t brought her the “fulfillment” she craves. And because she views herself as an Anointed One, then those “lesser people” are miserable but are too stupid to realize it. The fact that a woman can choose to be a stay at home mom grates on her nerves even though the woman is making a choice for herself.
She’s a bitter shell of a person and always has been.
Amanda Marcotte? Just refer to her as a rabid, looney, stupid non-entity. Who are the dead-enders who actually read and believe this harridan? Her 15 minutes were up a couple of decades ago.
But the she-bear thus accosted rends the peasant tooth and nail,
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.

Great column, Lisa, but you forgot to mention the biggest, most glaring example of a sex object in the ranks of the Democratic candidates: Kamala Harris, gaining entrance into politics, literally on her knees underneath Willie Brown’s desk.
