In a curious display of logic that only the left could muster, Kamala Harris has declared that any woman who doesn’t wholeheartedly back her political vision must be some sort of victim. According to her reasoning, these women are either trapped in a cocoon of “false consciousness” or shackled to the whims of an “ogre husband.” It’s a bold move, alienating a good chunk of the female population while trying to assert that she, and she alone, represents women’s interests.
Harris’s view takes the cake in a buffet of leftist assumptions about women and their choices. There’s a rather condescending tone lurking beneath her proclamations, implying any woman who chooses a different path is simply misguided or oppressed. It opens up the question: do women have the agency to think for themselves, or are they just pawns in a patriarchal “ogre” game? One would think the vice president ought to promote empowerment rather than suggesting dissent comes from ignorance or domestic oppression.
Harris’ offensive pitch to women: If you vote GOP, it’s because your man makes you https://t.co/HGiAh4mdx0 Every member of my family, inc males, text or call me every election to tell them how to vote cuz they know I research each candidate, judge and question on the ballot.

This delightful display of elitism further fuels the narrative that Harris has mastered: real women, according to her, are those who agree with her. The vice president has stepped directly into the quagmire of identity politics, where diverging opinions are brushed aside as symptoms of a deeper malaise. In a world where women are often celebrated for their strength and independence, Harris’s comments stand in stark contrast. It seems she prefers a sisterhood that echoes back what she wants to hear rather than one that embraces diverse thoughts.
Moreover, this line of thinking is nothing new. Democrats have long portrayed themselves as the flag bearers of women’s rights while simultaneously dictating what those rights should look like. The irony is palpable, particularly as more women are waking up to the fact that they can have a voice without subscribing to a singular political ideology. Conservative women, for instance, are thriving in diverse spheres, unapologetically pursuing their interests and values, no matter how much the left tries to shove them into a victim narrative.
It’s almost laughable how out of touch Harris is with the realities faced by women today. Instead of celebrating the varied experiences and perspectives of women across the political spectrum, she resorts to a divisive rhetoric straight out of the progressive playbook. It raises an eyebrow, if not a chuckle, when one considers how Harris’s viewpoint disregards the basic principle that women are fully capable of forming their own opinions—without needing a metaphorical rescue from an “ogre.” If anything, it’s clear that Harris and her crew are the ones who need to reassess their view of women and recognize the resilient, independent voices that reject their narrow-minded dogma.
