People Are Exposing The “Secret” Signs That A Woman Is Far-Right Or A Republican, And Oh My God
We recently he asked members BuzzFeed Community sharing subtle signs that a woman is right-wing (because many people have had thoughts on how to tell if a woman is right-wing) men secret Republicans). Here’s what they shared:
1. “Conservative women tend to be cautious about responding to how they vote, or pretend to be moderates by saying they’re ‘not very political.’ (To be honest, all conservative people can tend to do this if they think their honest answers won’t be well received.)”
—Anonymous, 40, non-binary, Texas
HBO
2. “One sign of this is when women make excuses for bad male behavior or still support public figures with allegations of abuse or right-wing ideals. I think right-wing women are actually just collectors who grew up in a predominantly right-wing community and still live around it. I think it’s more like Stockholm Syndrome for a woman to be truly ****** MAGA. They’re more likely to choose not to see or accept negative traits in the men in their lives because ‘women are crazy’ or ‘made up’ stories are just the norm.”
—Anonymous, 29, Female, Salt Lake City, Utah

3. “If a woman doesn’t like it Barbie film or Taylor Swiftask why. Usually this will give you your answer. “It’s okay to have different tastes, but if the reason you don’t like them is because they’re specifically overtly feminist or geared towards women and girls, then we have a problem.”
—Anonymous, 29, Female, Salt Lake City Utah
Warner Bros.
4. “The sign that a woman is a right-winger is if she stays silent or says, ‘I don’t want to talk about it now’ when you joke about a lie pushed by hard-line far-right extremists or simply mention a current allegation on the internet. Avoiding a potentially unpleasant conversation to maintain fake social etiquette is a socially supported female role, and she may not want to tip the current balance to defend far-right ideas and escalate tensions.”
—Anonymous, 70s, Women, Midwest
5. “One indicator is what’s in his dating profile. If he states his religion but not his political views, or makes a nonchalant, ‘not political’ nonsense claim, that’s usually a sign.”
—Anonymous, 41, Male, United States
6. “I think a Republican woman’s extreme criticism of non-traditional gender roles is a sign of sophistication. I was watching a show with a woman and she immediately started talking about a person we saw at a bar on TV. The person on the TV show had short hair but feminine facial features and a masculine style of clothing. The woman sitting next to me started saying, ‘I don’t know what ‘that’ is,'” I couldn’t find out this person’s political stance, but I think it’s a red flag to criticize a person’s appearance because it doesn’t fit into binary categories. The woman didn’t explain it even though no one had asked for her opinion. He felt the need.”
—Anonymous, 33, Female, DC
7. “Sometimes it’s a sign when she says she likes ‘manly men’.”
—Anonymous, 48, Male, Texas
8. “One indicator is whether they have a strong sense of support. Johnny Depp during and after Amber Heard hearing.”
—Anonymous, 35, Female, Australia

9. “When they refuse to see sex as part of any experience of harm you tell them about, that’s a clue.”
—Anonymous, 32, Colorado
10. “Women who say, ‘I’m not interested in politics, I’ll just vote for whoever my husband (or my father) tells me to vote for,’ are probably voting Republican.”
—Anonymous, 67, Female, Arkansas, USA
11. “If he uses phrases like ‘both sides’ or ‘meet in the middle’ or ‘reach across the aisle’ then he may be right-wing.”
—Anonymous, 55, Female, Minnesota
12. “It’s a sign that a woman is right-wing if she’s too keen on traditional feminine aesthetics or cottage aesthetics, or if she disdains things that aren’t ‘chic.’ That seems like a red flag for someone who looks down on women who aren’t traditionally feminine, or women who are lower class or women of color.”
—Anonymous, 18, Male, Texas

13. “He gives girls smaller portions of food than he gives boys.”
-Anonymous
14. “A sign of this is when she judges another woman by how many relationships she’s been in or the casual relationship she’s had. Mind your own business.”
—Anonymous, 24, Female, Chicago
15. “Women who put ‘moderate’ on their dating profiles is a red flag. I think anyone who labels themselves as a moderate is doing so because they are aware of how being conservative can be perceived these days.”
—Anonymous, 26, Male, Chicago, Illinois
HBO
16. “It’s a red flag when you get in their car with them and they turn on the radio and there’s an AM talk show on the radio featuring Michael Savage or Sean Hannity. My ex would usually turn off the radio and say something like, ‘I listen to NPR too,’ but the truth is I never heard NPR on his radio.”
—Anonymous, 63, Male, Oregon
17. “One of the big red flags is when a woman talks about how God says a man should be, such as being a provider, and then quotes scripture to justify not wanting to take responsibility in the relationship.”
—Anonymous, 48, Male, Nevada

18. “One indicator is whether she pressures other women into motherhood.”
—Anonymous, 30, Female, NYC
19. “One clue is that he said he was independent and didn’t say who he voted for.”
—Anonymous, 64, Female, Atlanta, GA, United States
20. “If he calls non-heterosexual orientations a ‘lifestyle,’ that’s a big sign.”
—Anonymous, 69, Female, Lancaster, PA
21. And finally, “You can tell a woman is a right-wing extremist by the way she treats staff. In retail stores and restaurants, such women have an air of superiority, as if the staff are less than human and were created solely to serve them.”
—Anonymous, 39, Male, South Carolina
