77-year-old Hillary Clinton has once again graced us with her unparalleled talent for alienating vast swaths of the American populace. Not content with her infamous “basket of deplorables” gaffe from 2016, she’s now decided to double down, targeting Republican women as “handmaidens to the patriarchy.” Clearly, the best way to win hearts and minds is to insult them.

At a recent event at 92NY, a renowned cultural and community center in Manhattan, Clinton opined that any woman daring to align with the GOP is essentially betraying her gender. Yes, according to the Pantsuit, women must mirror her political ideology to be taken seriously. It’s a bold strategy – one that helped her lose the 2016 presidential election to Donald Trump: alienate half the electorate and then act bewildered when they don’t vote for you.

For those of you who don’t know, handmaidens are women forced into reproductive servitude under a totalitarian regime according to Margaret Atwood’s novel “The Handmaid’s Tale.” So if someone calls a woman a handmaiden in today’s world, they’re probably not complimenting her domestic skills. Instead, they’re likely suggesting she’s obediently serving a system that oppresses her or others.

By labeling women who think differently as complicit in their own oppression, Clinton inadvertently mirrors the very authoritarianism she claims to oppose.

One might think that after the fallout from the “deplorables” comment, a moment of introspection would be in order. But self-awareness has never been Clinton’s strong suit. Instead, Mrs. Bill continues to wield condescension as a political weapon, dismissing dissenting voices as either ignorant or malicious.

It’s a curious approach: championing women’s rights by denigrating women who exercise their right to choose a different political path. But in Clinton’s worldview, empowerment is only valid when it aligns with her narrative.
