Happy, Rich, Successfull...yeah totally not something you should want anyone you care for be.
Conservatives Agenda when it comes to Women, is so easy to see.
Its heartbreaking to realize that many Women are groomed, held back and manipulated by such tactics.

Often times Conservative women arent willingly where they are, they have been groomed since childhood that their only value is to be married and have children.
Not to be people, not to have dreams...just a tool pretty much.
And its so messed up.
