Amy Coney Barrett is not a feminist, she’s a unicorn

Fellow right-leaning writer, Erika Bachiochi, has written at Politico that Amy Coney Barrett is America’s “new feminist icon.” Actually, she’s not.

Far be it from me to side with feminists, but when it comes to a concept known as “conservative feminism,” I make an exception. That phrase is an oxymoron, much like “jumbo shrimp.” You’re either a feminist, or you’re not. All this trying to soften the language to make sure people know that when you say you’re not a feminist, it doesn’t mean you don’t believe women have rights is silly. If you know even one person who believes women shouldn’t have rights, congratulations: That person is the single exception to the rule.
