Pro-life, opposed to drug legalization, 2nd amendment rights, to name a few. Sorry, but if that's what you think of all conservatives you have as much prejudice as you think they do.

Pro-life is pretty tightly coupled to the idea women don't have the right to manage their reproductive health-> not very equalist[0].
The drug war was started by Nixon inorder to better control the black and hippie population, so not getting any points there[1].
You're left with gun rights which becomes a question of degree. It's thankfully largely divorced from the issues of sex and race, but pretty tightly coupled to regional culture more than anything else.
The fact that Trump won on the backs of uneducated white men certainly says a lot.
