Women Need Leaders Who Will Actually Fight for Us

Let’s be honest: too many so-called leaders are spineless when it comes to fighting for women. They’ll post a nice statement on social media when our rights are under attack. They’ll send a fundraising email about how urgent this moment is. But when it’s time to actually show up and fight like hell? Crickets.

Meanwhile, our rights are being ripped away in real time: our reproductive freedom, workplace protections, economic security, even our physical safety. And let’s not forget the billionaire power grabs happening while we’re expected to just sit quietly and “be reasonable.”

Fuck That.

Women don’t need leaders who make polite speeches. We need leaders who will actually fight for us.

What Does Fighting for Women Actually Look Like?

It’s not just words, it’s actions. Here’s what we should be demanding from every so-called leader who claims to have our backs:

💥 They Call Out the Corrupt Billionaire Boys Club

• If your leader is too afraid to name names, they’re too weak to lead.
• Elon Musk is not a public servant, he’s a billionaire actively working to dismantle government programs that support everyday people. If your representative isn’t fighting back against these power grabs, they’re complicit.
• Wealth isn’t wisdom, and money isn’t a mandate. If the people didn’t elect you, you don’t get to rule them.

💥 They Fight for Women’s Bodily Autonomy Without Apology

• No more half-hearted, “I support women, but…” nonsense. We need leaders who will codify abortion rights, stop anti-choice judges, and refuse to negotiate with extremists.
• If a leader won’t say the word ’abortion’ out loud, they don’t belong in office. Period.

💥 They Protect Women’s Economic Power

• Women’s paychecks, retirement, and financial security are under attack from billionaire-backed policies that want to gut Social Security, weaken workplace protections, and keep us financially vulnerable.
• A leader who actually fights for women doesn’t just support policies that sound good on paper — they’re willing to go to war over them.

💥 They Actually Have the Backbone to Stand Up to Fascism

• Let’s be clear: this is not just bad politics, it’s a power grab.
• Authoritarianism always comes for women first. If your leaders aren’t actively fighting against GOP voter suppression, attacks on free speech, and right-wing court takeovers, they are NOT on your side.
• Bipartisanship isn’t worth a damn when one party is openly embracing fascism.

Who’s Actually Fighting for Women?

The good news? There are leaders who get it. Here’s who’s showing up:

• Elizabeth Warren – Because she doesn’t just talk, she shreds billionaires and bad policies on live TV.
• Katie Porter – Because she brings receipts and whiteboards to expose corruption.
• Jamie Raskin – Because he actually understands the legal game and knows how to dismantle authoritarian BS.
• Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – Because she isn’t afraid to call out corporate greed and government failures in real time.
• These are just a few — who else should be on this list?

The bad news? Too many others are sitting on their hands.

So here’s the deal:

If your representative isn’t actively fighting for you, call them out. If they refuse to show up, replace them. If they prioritize their careers over your rights, make sure their careers end.

Because we don’t have time for weak, performative, self-serving “leaders”.

We need fighters.

We don’t need permission to fight for our rights. And if they won’t do it, we sure as hell will.
