Obviously, I'm confused.

I read this sentence: "Schlafly claimed it would mean women would be drafted into the Army on the same basis as men." I'm confused about what she wants. Does Schlafly want women higher, lower, or at least the same level as men? A. Scholar (Nabu) (talk) 22:55, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

In Politics Today

Should there be more examples of conservative women politicians. For example, Carly Fiorina? Snuyen (talk) 04:29, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

Section About Organizations

Should there be a section on conservative women's organizations? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snuyen (talk • contribs) 04:31, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

Some things to add

I agree that there should probably be a section on conservative women's organizations. I plan to add that as well as updated information on politics today (ie Michele Bachmann, Carly Fiorina, etc.) a historical section of conservative women focusing on Orange County and the anti-suffrage movement, and a section on the main concepts of women's conservatism and how that opposes/intersects with feminism.

Current Conservative Political Climate

I like that you included aspects about politics today with examples of current conservative women. However, I was wondering if there was anything, in addition to the specific women, that contributes to the current conservative climate of women in politics that could be added? An interesting aspect to explore might be how the 2016 presidential campaign played out in terms of votes from conservative women. Kbrumfield (talk)—Preceding undated comment added December 21, 2016

• @Kbrumfield: Well for one, Trump won white women. But anyways, your question sounds more like a research topic that you can do on your own. We can't add anything that lacks verification. Furthermore, the article might have too much current topics already; we should not place extra emphasis on recent events. But you can ask that question at the Wikipedia Reference desk. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  18:57, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Serious neutrality issues

This article gives so much undue weight to socially conservative women, especially antifeminist women, that a reader could be forgiven for thinking that Phyllis Schlafly represents the views of the vast majority of, if not all of, conservative women in the United States. It's that misleading.

Furthermore, the article reads like an essay. It is a slap in the face to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch, especially the part on editorializing.

This article may require a total rewrite. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  19:17, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Section on Michelle Bachman's coverage during the 2012 election

The claim that "the media's coverage of her was very different from her male candidates. The media instead focused on her migraines, her marriage, and her hair and makeup style choices.[8]" is not supported by the cited source.129.125.153.155 (talk) 15:38, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Adding "Mama grizzlies" section

I plan to expand on the topics of mama grizzlies in this article, since it's a modern classification of conservative women. I want to include this in the history section, since this is where the other "ideologies' are listed. I'm not quite sure that heading is a perfect fit for it, but my addition would match all the other information listed in the topic. I want to start by expanding on how the name was coined, which is currently mentioned in the Sarah Palin section, then expand on what she meant by the term. Then I want to list other women who have been recognized as "mama grizzlies". For a more detailed description of my planned contribution, please reference my sandbox. If you have any suggestions of how I can improve this contribution or any complaints about this potential contributions, please let me know! I look forward to any potential interactions with you all on this project! Jcgrim (talk) 07:24, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Update: I added the section. Again, let me know if you have any issues or suggestions! Thanks! Jcgrim (talk) 13:43, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
