Heather Higgins on Why Strong Women Never Need to Declare War on Men to Succeed

Heather Higgins, CEO of Independent Women, joins this new episode of Real Talk to explore how the left uses victimhood politics to make women feel dependent on government, why defending women’s sports became a wake-up call for moms, and how bad policies on health care, childcare, and family leave often hurt the very women they claim to help. We also discuss why conservative women need to be willing to make “good trouble” and why women should not be forced into a one-size-fits-all vision of womanhood.
