Have democrats largely given up on protecting a woman's right to choose?

69. Yes, why aren't we and the Congress' women demanding more visibility on women's problems?

On women's end, maybe the problem has been not enough lawyers, guns and money.

On the women leadership end, perhaps too much leadership nurturing and not enough leading. Female feminists haven't developed a deep leadership bench fast enough to keep up the monitoring of their progress. Too much of their 'winning' has been complacently taken for granted from the family to governmental levels.

Male chauvinist leaders, pushed by churchy donors, see any women's groups out there as threats to their governing power and domination. Or male chauvinists with too much time and money on their hands -- the Wall St. and Vegas casinos get boring after awhile -- simply see a legal WIN to go for, an issue to dominate, and they stalk until they dominate. Winning is a sport that is at the heart of the world definition of manhood. Male leaders can always go after those who seem to put up the least fight.

Male feminists perhaps haven't gained enough by standing by women, but one would think that they might convey that peace with all women would be important to all men.
