@Kevin The Daily Mail is not a broadsheet newspaper.It is published in tabloid form.I specifically refer to broadsheet newspapers and political weeklies contrasting the free Left wing ones in contrast to the pay walled Conservative ones.

Roy Robinson, conveniently leaves out the most viewed online propaganda website which is completely free and unless I am mistaken is slightly to the right of the Guardian. I of course, refer to the Daily Mail. Perhaps he would prefer to see only right wing views being aired.

Conservatism is failing to win the culture war despite great natural advantages because it fails to get its message out there.If one looks at the broadsheet newspapers in the UK for example The Guardian gives itself away free online and is now the voice of Anglophone Liberalism .It produces in effect a massive propaganda barrage on a daily basis to propagate its world view.In contrast the Conservative broadsheets hide behind pay walls and much of their content consists of Blairites who would be equally at home publishing their articles in The Guardian.Similarly with the two political weekly magazines,New Statesman free online ,Spectator paywall.If conservatives complain about losing the culture war they only have to look at their media strategy to see why . Conservative media outlets are owned by media barons who are more concerned with making a buck than getting out their world view.Lenin said that the capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them something which is still going on with regard to China..One might amend that by saying the Capitalist has to sell his world view but we give ours awy for free to anyone who wants it. What is needed is more outlets like the excellent Spiked which does more to counter the The Guardian world view than both conservative broadsheets combined.

So, according to the "Conservative Woman", Donald Trump is "obviously an odious chauvinist". Now, Mr Trump is no spring chicken, but I have my doubts about him having fought in the Napoleonic Wars.

To paraphrase the Instapundit, women who let themselves get used wind up being treated like women who let themselves get used. The preventative is older women teaching the younger ones how to behave when in the market for a man.
This breaks down when the feminist biddies like Mrs. Clinton and Mrs. Obama either wink at or actively encourage slutty, trashy behavior in women. It's no good praising people like Alicia Machado and then acting all shocked when it turns out men are actually lusting after her.
This is not meant to excuse Mr. Trump, who probably lusts after all beautiful women, modest or not, but it would be nice if Feminism, Inc. would acknowledge the heavy role they play in encouraging the ongoing trashification of our culture. Beyonce is Mrs. Obama's daughters hero and has been to the white house multiple times. I dare you to look up the lyrics to her hit songs. If her husband sang any of those songs to her he'd be considered a sexual predator. But she pretends that all of this is cultural commentary and just fine.

PH: "the anti-marriage radicals, who seem to prefer mass female wage-slavery to the married family"
I think what many women desire is a degree of financial independence; independence that is which acts as something of a safeguard in the event of being divorced or widowed. Given the ceaseless efforts of conservatives the world-over to stigmatise 'welfare' to the point of being a dirty word, you can hardly blame anyone (male or female) for taking every contingency measure to ensure they never fall foul of this particular working class leprous ignominy.

"...but anything is better than breezy optimism, a sure road to disappointed misery." - This made me laugh out loud, not because I disagree, but because it struck a chord as the only sensible choice in these interesting times.
