It is interesting to see how often energetic and successful women* are engaged in the Right which seems to be contrary to their interests: here it was and is Frauke Petry and Beatrix von Storch. In France, it is Marie Le Pen. From a stand-alone but non-judgmental point of view, it can be speculated that some energetic and successful women are against the liberal political environment that proclaims women’s rights out of a do-gooder impetus that they have in the real, and I do not mean the political rights, but the philosophically inviolable right of every human existence to work and be.
The liberal position of the Greens and recently parts of the CDU and of the DIE LINKE, is that the last legal hurdles for women* must be dropped and that internationally similar standards must be established, as we have already achieved in the West, and it is necessary to to eliminate existing injustices such as unequal pay and discrimination in promotions and access to top positions through legal action. But the latter can be seen in the consciousness of a successful woman as a kind of pity, indirectly through the back door, the potential given to her anyway questioned. Despite difficult social circumstances, women* were at all times and are successful today, from Cleopatra to Angela Merkel, and in part also without any liberal pity. I do not want to say that liberal mercy is quite inappropriate, only that there may be grounds for reservations.
