Clinton expressed her support for female candidates, arguing that a woman needs to be elected as president and remarked on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-is-the-left-so-quick-to-dispose-of-women\/\" title=\"Why Is The Left So Quick To Dispose Of ...?\">challenges women face<\/a> in political leadership. Furthermore, she disparaged comments made by figures like Elon Musk and J.D. Vance regarding birth rates, suggesting they imply women should prioritize motherhood over other ambitions. Clinton argued that these views are part of a broader, misguided political agenda aimed at <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >restoring past societal norms<\/a>, which she asserts undermined modern progress.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Hillary Clinton scolds Republican women as being &lsquo;handmaiden to the patriarchy&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/hillary-clinton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Hillary Clinton<\/a>, a two<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/harris-raises-eyebrows-with-who-she-turned-to-for-bad-ratings-fix-hints-shes-a-victim-of-racism-sexism-report\/\" title=\"Harris Raises Eyebrows With Who She Turned To For Bad Ratings Fix; Hints She\u2019s A Victim Of Racism, Sexism: Report\">-time failed presidential candidate<\/a>, former secretary of state, and senator, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sasse-addresses-state-gop-officials-ahead-of-potential-censure-trump-lied-to-you\/\" title=\"Sasse Addresses State GOP Officials Ahead Of Potential Censure: ... \u2018Lied To You\u2019\">made disparaging remarks<\/a> about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/republican\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Republican<\/a> women during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=393Sjq_dAcI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Newmark Civic Life Series event at the 92nd Street Y<\/a> in New York City.

Clinton specifically targeted remarks made by presidential adviser Elon Musk and Vice President J.D. Vance. And again, she made disparaging remarks about women, particularly those who wanted to raise children.<\/p>\n<p>Clinton <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/hillary-clinton-blasts-vance-musk-encouraging-higher-birthrates-says-immigrants-can-do-instead\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> there was a concerted effort to &ldquo;basically send a message, most exemplified by Vance and Musk, and others, that, you know, what we really need from you women are more children&hellip; and what that really means is &lsquo;You should go back to doing what you were born to do, which is to produce more children.&rsquo;&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>She also claimed it was all out of the political playbook of the Heritage Foundation&rsquo;s Project 2025, a commonly referenced item that Democrats heavily criticized during the 2024 presidential campaign.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This is another performance about concerns they allegedly have for family life, but if you had read the Heritage Foundation&rsquo;s Project 2025, despite Trump saying he knew nothing about it, if you had read it, it&rsquo;s all in there. It&rsquo;s all in there,&rdquo; Clinton said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Return to the family, the nuclear family, return to being a Christian nation, return to producing a lot of children&rsquo; &mdash; which is sort of odd because the people who produce the most children in our country are immigrants, and they want to deport them,&rdquo; she added. &ldquo;So none of this adds up.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>She also said the Trump administration was regressing society, claiming they would work toward a society that replicated the &ldquo;1950s,&rdquo; if not even further.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;So, this is just another one of their, you know, &lsquo;Make America Great Again&rsquo; by returning to the lifestyles and the economic arrangements of not just the 1950s, I mean, let&rsquo;s keep going back as far as we can,&rdquo; <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/hillary-clinton-blasts-vance-musk-encouraging-higher-birthrates-says-immigrants-can-do-instead\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> the former secretary of state.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hillary Clinton criticizes Republican women as &#8216;handmaidens to patriarchy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2677,"featured_media":2436802,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AP24233072888155.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[14678,32624,55567,32171,44131],"class_list":["post-2436801","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-feminism","tag-hillary-clinton","tag-patriarchy","tag-political-commentary","tag-republican-women"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AP24233072888155.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2436801","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2677"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2436801"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2436801\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2436805,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2436801\/revisions\/2436805"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2436802"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2436801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2436801"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2436801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
