Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth recently posted footage of a right-wing pastor saying that women ought to be more obedient to their husbands. Additionally, the video stated that households should vote together and that they shouldn’t have the ability to vote.
Although these conservative ideas might appear absurd, they might be more significant if they gain the support of right-wingers. Women’s voting rights may be at danger under the Trump administration.
In certain states, their reproductive rights have already been granted; now, Trump might target their right to vote. Extreme Christianity’s position on women’s rights is questionable.
Julie Ingrersoll, a professor of religious studies, has cautioned that this goes beyond simply posting a video or saying anything. They think women should cede their rights and surrender.
These sentiments are also supported by a large number of social media users, as evidenced by the comments left on these posts. They find nothing wrong with it, and there are a lot of individuals like this.
Yesterday, the Trump administration really called for the removal of women’s voting rights.

Many individuals thought they may repeal the 19th Amendment during Trump’s second term. They are promoting conventional gender roles, demonstrating how the notion that women should not have rights was ludicrous, but it now seems more perilous. The reasoning has an air of extreme, and experts caution that it shouldn’t be dismissed outright.
Trump has been permitting a Christian agenda that is against women’s rights in return for votes. Furthermore, Christian nationalists were the ones who created Project 2025. Since it will be difficult, they might not entirely repeal the amendment.
However, they might employ tactics like denying women the ability to vote, as they did to Black people. Black people have voted disproportionately because they make voting difficult for underprivileged communities. Since it isn’t an outright attack, they won’t accept that this is a form of racism.

But gradually eroding the right has the same effect. Women voters may experience the same thing. To keep some individuals from voting, the Trump administration has already altered election dates, places, and mail-in ballot availability.
This affects those who live far away or have non-traditional occupations. Women are therefore less likely to cast ballots in these circumstances.
