This subreddit is for women who are fed up with how liberals portray conservative women.
Not all postings need to be about women's issues in particular. This is a place where women who are conservative can meet and talk and share opinions. This subreddit was made because I (wingedpomegranate) was getting so tired of left leaning subreddits for women! Guys are welcome, too. :)

Welcome to liberal millennial women: unimpeachable, utter saints. Well, let's have a look at that shall we? The world is groaning under the complaints of women ranting about social justice and how the planet is stricken with masculinity. Emily here, Conservative Christian, reporting from South Africa. Thanks for watching!
With postmodern liberalism at an all-time high, there seems to be a rift of distrust growing between the genders. I made a video about how there is no way forwards unless women begin to trust men again, especially in marriage. Christian perspective:
I usually hang around on the Christian subreddit’s. Occasionally topics will come up about immigration, feminism homosexuality or abortion, so I’ll comment my thoughts and what the Bible has to say on the matter. Usually my comments or posts go like this:
Immigration - Help refugees and asylum seekers if they or their family are in danger. But don’t allow in criminals and terrorists who hate our nation. The Bible says to respect your nations laws **(Romans 13:1-2)**, so if someone tries to unfairly jump the queue of law abiding immigrants by crossing illegally, they’ve disrespected the country and it’s citizens before even entering and should be dealt with. Prioritize our own country, if we can’t help ourselves how can we help others?
Feminism - Modern feminism turns women into men. Being strong, leaders, short hair etc. The Bible says a woman is more valuable than rubies **(Proverbs 31:10)**, yet they place little value on feminine traits. The God given qualities of motherhood, stay at home moms, submission, kindness, nurturing etc.
Homosexuality - We all know what the Bible says on that. But God bates no sin more than another, except maybe being a non believer. All sins are equally punished by damnation. And whose to say their habitual sins are worse than ours? Admitting our wrongdoing and working to overcome them is what saves us. That doesn’t mean they’ll never fall into homosexuality again. But God offers eternal forgiveness if we choose Him. But in the end, yes it still against nature and people need to be held accountable for their homosexual desires.
Abortion - Child murder. God breathes life into us at conception **(Jeremiah 1:5)**. We are called upon to be fruitful and multiply, to give our bodies for our spouses and make sacrifices for our children. The fetus is alive and has a soul. It is a person who had no say whether or not they get to live, yet the ones who are to care for them the most are rejecting them. Not by giving them to adoption centers or having another take them at birth, but by not even giving them the chance at life.
I know this isn’t a Christian subreddit, but I hear some conservatives hold these values as well. I thought these truths were self evident in the Bible but I continue to get rejected by my brothers and speakers. They haven’t silenced me, but they rebuke me for speaking the truth. It’s not every Christian, but a lot of them. I don’t know who else to go to if not my own family under God, so I came here. Maybe I could find more like minded thinkers. Not necessarily believers of God, but believers of His truths. I have my own theories but why do you think many Christians are so liberal in their views? To claim to follow God but reject the His Word when it speaks blatantly but doesn’t suit their personal beliefs?
Dear Ravelry,
While it saddens me that such an atrocious act took place against a Ravelry user. I am even more saddened by the new rules Ravelry has imposed on it's users. While I understand the actions taken by Ravelry to promote a positive environment. I think they are drastic and tactless.
In your public statement you said you did not want to pick a political side but by banning only Trump related material and discussion you've done exactly that. By creating a safe space for others you have vilified me and you don't even know me. I've never met a person I hate and I've never met a gay I didn't want to hug, but because I support President Trump I'm a white supremacist. You've created a space where I'm not included in a hobby that I love and have been honing for years. Crocheting helps with my anxiety and allows me to make beautiful gifts for others, but I won't be getting the patterns from you anymore. I made the decision to delete my account today. I didn't feel I could be involved with a website that promoted such negitivity.
So what could you have done differently? Well, first watch what you say on platforms like Twitter. Your tweet was tasteless to say the least. Second, ban all political discussions and patterns. If you really wanted to appear neutral this would be the best way to do it. Third, be better at moderating "bad" users. Creating anonymous reporting was a smart move, but diving head first into banning people for supporting their President is rash.
Maybe someday I'll come back, and maybe someday you'll change your policy, but for now this is goodbye.
