Makes sense. They’ve grown up taught that living their lives a v specific way makes them connected to some bigger purpose they’re fulfilling and how terrible the women that don’t are. But that box is also extremely limiting in its most extreme form. So the thing that makes them feel like they’re better than everyone is also making them miserable and the dissonance seeps out in regular interactions.
I think this is me, but I also don’t think I’m superior but I could see how I come across that way, and I could also see how I come across at bitter as I get sooo agitated with people even though I try and keep it to my self. I also wouldn’t call myself conservative but I do have more conservative views
My comment wasn’t about ALL conservative women, just the ones who have the superiority-bitterness combo OP mentioned. My bf’s mom is a conservative woman who was also a stay at home mom and is probably one of the most kind and down to earth people I know. She also didn’t internalize the things I mentioned in my comment so there’s no complex for her. For some there is.
