Why Conservative Women Are So Pretty

Are they really so attractive? Is it a question of just being themselves? Or are they trying to please men?

Why Conservative Women Are So Pretty
The women of the Right are allowed to believe things that the women of the Left are not. It sets them free to be themselves. And that’s beautiful.

Three years ago I attended the Conservative Political Action Conference and was struck by something I later concluded was probably a figment of my imagination. This year I returned, and, rather than having my recollection dispelled, it was confirmed.

The young women who attend CPAC are spectacular. No kidding: What’s up with this concentration of incredibly attractive young, conservative women? It’s noticeable and remarkable. They are beautiful and stylish in the way French women often are, which is to say in their own way, not in a conforming or predictable way. They all look like the girl the high school quarterback wants to date, and they are confident, relaxed, and smart, joking amongst themselves.


This becomes even more glaring when juxtaposed with the young guys, who all seem to be trying out for the part of the overtaxed congressional aide in this season of “Veep”: wrinkled dark suits with scuffed brown shoes, power-walking this way and that, their noses buried in their smartphones, and that’s not even to mention an alarming incidence of pillow head (not a lot, but, let’s be honest, no pillow head is the goal).

I spent years in the photography business, which causes me to reflexively notice what things look like. On the Left, however, you can’t say these things just because they may be true, or, more accurately, especially if they’re true. In other words, okay, I noticed. So sue me.

This can’t be an accident. Something must be driving it. So I began to ponder it, and here’s the best I can come up with.

Perhaps Social Pressure Affects Men and Women Differently
It is not easy espousing conservative views at any time or place, given that the overwhelming response of the culture, the media and academia is ridicule and dismissal, but it has got to be especially so in those beehives of social approval: high school and college. A young guy who “identifies” as a conservative might just as well identify as an “absolute zero” as far as the cool kids are concerned (and maybe a lot of the teachers, too.)

They have courage and character and, in their spare time, represent the last, best hope of mankind.
That’s why they’re so admirable and, actually, so very cool: They have courage and character and, in their spare time, represent the last, best hope of mankind. The football players are too busy being football players to be doing much else. Life is good. Politics? Saving the world? Later, baby.

Young guys who are politically active on the right side of the fence have a lot to lose, most especially any possibility of being regarded as a member of the social elite, and it may be that quite a few of them—not all, by any means, but yes, a great many—who find their way to a conservative worldview at an early age do so because they aren’t distracted or seduced by the possibility of being homecoming king. They aren’t giving up the possibility of being the host of the weekend kegger, because that wasn’t going to happen, anyway.

Liberated from the siren song of peer popularity, they can instead go deep, emerging to their everlasting credit as constitutional conservatives, maybe even libertarians, able to withstand the onslaught of blame America Howard-Zinn-ification they are assaulted with every day. Instead, they have the time and inclination to figure out how the world really works, and to wonder if maybe the way the world works isn’t a little bit different from what they’re hearing from their teachers and the movies and the news outlets.

In time, if their inquiries are diligent, honest, and fearless, a lot of them wind up in the land of the Constitution, God bless them, and of those, a contingent winds up at CPAC—along with whole squadrons of the prettiest, smartest girls, who, in contrast to the boys, have also found their way not because they have no hope of being in the in-crowd, but because they have no fear of being ejected from it, since the popularity of an attractive young woman can survive almost anything, including being a conservative.

Now, for a Woman’s Explanation
Does that explain it? Maybe. It made some sense to me, but didn’t sit well. Implying they embrace conservative views only because they have nothing to lose diminishes the very real accomplishments of these young women, and those of the men, all of whom seem to be warriors for the cause, possessing an inchoate nobility and clear courage that might serve as nothing less than the lifeblood of a better future.

Implying they embrace conservative views only because they have nothing to lose diminishes the very real accomplishments of these young women and men.
It is, indeed, so insulting as to be, for that very reason, unlikely to be true about people who are otherwise so clearly driven by a fullness of character. Or, even if it’s true in part, it is probably not the primary causality: These impressive young people would undoubtedly find their way to this place, anyway.

I sought counsel from my wife. She is European. She spent many years living in Paris and Brussels. I like it when people ask me if English is her second language, so I can say, “No, it’s her fifth.” I told her I was working on this piece, searching for an explanation. I told her that the young women of CPAC reminded me of the women you see on the boulevards of Paris, and I asked her why women over there were so famously stylish.

Women of great traditional beauty, but also those who would not be described that way, all had the ability to move through the world with manifest and undeniable élan, self-confidence, and personal style, some of the ingredients of a world-renowned attractiveness, so much so that it has been remarked upon for centuries. Her answer was immediate, as if it was obvious, or should be. “It’s because they enjoy being a woman. And they’re glad they’re not men.”

Are you in high school?

 

"Why Conservative Women Are So Pretty"

Are you suggesting that pretty women lack intelligence ?

 

Stupid thread, is stupid thread.

 

Conservative women aren't pretty. Women on TV are pretty. And the best way for women to get on TV is on a news or sports show. Being qualified is 'pretty' meaningless.

 

This thread again.

Same damn thread based on the same chain email.

Over and over and over again.

Oh wait! We have a new entry into the biased Hall O' Beautiful Conservative womens!

 

I don't know if conservative woman are more "pretty" but I will say that woman who are feminists and identify with social justice tend to go out of their way to look as ugly as possible...

Well your typical young progressive SJW activist somehow takes pride in living like a bum...

Of course in their ideal world hygiene and appearance should play no role because they're socialists so in their minds they're automatically entitled regardless of their work ethic or appearance....

There is an old saying "dress for success" and conservative woman generally get that and progressives believe they're entitled to a job regardless how they dress....... I find it funny how they want social standards yet are the most anti-social people on the planet...

 

ROFLMFAO !!! Kim Davis was a lifelong registered Democrat !!! She only "quit" the Democrat Party after the marriage license fiasco !!!!!!!!

Can't make this stuff up !!!!!

As noted, ugly women are angry women who think life is unfair. As such, they are losers. Losers gyrate to the Democrat Party, in the hope that government will make life "fair". Or at least give them someone else's money.

 

Why Conservative Women Are So Pretty ?

They have no choice?

If they're ugly and not Repub breedable they're drowned?


Ridiculous thread with no point and no good answer....and did I say no point.....and sexist and trite and old and worn out and did I mention no point?

 

That's gross.... You can also see the hate in her face, along with the nasty ass sweaty stains on her shirt...

They're either stupid or try to portray themselves as "poor" in an attempt to pander...

 

I see your Ann Coulter's adam's apple, and raise you a Gomer Pyle.

 

Perhaps "white privilege" is any white person that cares about appearance or dresses appropriately when it's a standard?

I guess if we don't dress like slobs we must be of "privilege".

 

Now that is racist. Dressing 'nattily' was defined by blacks. Have you actually seen a white person lately? I mean a white person that wasn't dressed by a gay man? A privileged white man can afford to dress appropriately, but an underprivileged black man that dresses to the nines, trumps (pun intended) your privileged nonsense.

 

If the title was "Why Republican Women Are So Pretty", then you would have a point. She was a conservative Democrat, so she is relevant.

 

threads started by right wing trolls generally are

 

Yeah they only have money for gold teeth, rims for their ride, jewelry and ghetto designer clothing that fits their culture but no money for rent or utilities or food...

Their sneekers cost 300 new - they can have Jordan shoes for 300 but not take that money and buy some professional cloths that will make them look not like rebels?

Get the job first THEN buy the shoes - not the other way around.

 

Tea Party rally:

 

Ya, to bad the OP isn't a rightwing troll.

 

LOL. I am reminded of the single most stupid thread we ever had in this forum:


http://www.politicalforum.com/polit...ssive-men-intimidated-conservative-women.html

 

Every once in a while some rw would post a "cons are better than libs" thread, I suspect this is due to lack of confidence in oneself.

 

It always surprises me how ugly a good-looking man can be as a woman.

 

Ok, I see that you're trying to deflect.
I'll give you a chance to go re-read the article by the OP, that's even read it in the first place.

If you use simple reading comprehension, you'll see that your claim that the OP is in fact not a "rightwing troll".

 

Are they blonde?

 

LOL. In case you didn't know it the federalist is right wing.
