Prominent conservative women are laying waste to the MAGA patriarchy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump\u2019s movement has been constructed around a manufactured aesthetic of hypermasculinity<\/a> and performative bravado<\/a>. This has been marketed to the president\u2019s followers<\/a> as something to aspire toward, and yet it seems some of the conservative movement\u2019s most recognizable women aren\u2019t too satisfied with the state of MAGA masculinity.<\/p>\n

During a Tuesday appearance on \u201cThe View,\u201d Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene rebuked \u201cweak Republican men\u201d<\/a> in her party for what she deemed to be a failure to enact Trump\u2019s agenda. The Georgia Republican, who has been denouncing congressional GOP leadership amid the government shutdown, recently told<\/a> The Washington Post: \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of weak Republican men, and they\u2019re more afraid of strong Republican women. So they always try to marginalize the strong Republican women that actually want to do something and actually want to achieve.\u201d<\/p>\n

And earlier this week, Greene publicly criticized \u201cpathetic Republican men\u201d for \u201cattacking me for going on Bill Maher\u2019s show and The View.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSorry I\u2019m not sorry I don\u2019t obey Republican men\u2019s demands that I, as a woman, don\u2019t remain seen but not heard,\u201d she wrote on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lest you believe there is some feminist revolution afoot in the MAGA movement, there have certainly been recent examples of prominent right-wing women launching, shall we say, pettier attacks on MAGA masculinity as well. But that the attacks occurred at all shows how manhood and masculinity are being weaponized in conservative infighting.<\/p>\n

In an example, conservative influencer Candace Owens criticized FBI Director Kash Patel after he published an oddly personal social media post<\/a> defending himself and his girlfriend against allegations that he used an FBI jet<\/a> to fly to one of her singing performances in Pennsylvania and then to Tennessee, where she lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis does not make you look masculine. It does not make you look like somebody who should be taken seriously,\u201d she said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And Rep. Nancy Mace unleashed a rebuke after two fellow South Carolina Republicans, Sens. Tim Scott and Lindsey Graham, denounced her involvement<\/a> in a recent incident with airport security officials.<\/p>\n

In a post seemingly accusing Scott and Graham of \u201cpunching down, shaming and attacking\u201d her, Mace wrote that \u201cREAL MEN PROTECT WOMEN!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy are two men with a half dozen personal security guards everywhere they go, offended by a woman, who has been assaulted for her beliefs, and can\u2019t get the same security, and very much cares about her safety in the wake of Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump getting shot?\u201d she wrote on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Again, we shouldn\u2019t fool ourselves into thinking all of this means that a pro-woman uprising is in store for the Republican Party. What it does appear to show, however, is how some prominent women on the right are undercutting conservatives\u2019 efforts to portray MAGA masculinity as a force for good \u2014 and, instead, framing it as cowardly or self-serving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prominent conservative women are laying waste to the MAGA patriarchy.
