Are Left-Wing Politics Failing Women?

Italy recently elected Giorgia Meloni, its first female prime minister. Germany recently elected Alice Weidel, Serbia elected Ana Brnabić, Norway elected Sylvi Listhaug, Hungary now has a female leader named Katalin Novák, and France has Marine Le Pen. And of course the UK’s current third female prime minister is Liz Truss.

Aside from all being female, these women share one thing in common: all of them have right-wing political views. Why is that? Why are so many people, especially women, turning to right-wing populism? I believe it owes a lot to the fact that left-wing politics has been taken over by wokeness, intersectionality, and Feminism, which doesn’t resonate with the average woman (or man). Not saying this is the only reason, but it’s certainly a contributing factor.

➤ Scotland has now changed the law so anyone can identify as a man or a woman without undergoing any medical procedures (which I personally think undermines transgenderism as a medical issue): https://www.gov.scot/news/gender-recognition-reform-bill/
