..had in it's eyesights the trashing of women's rights.
In the 2016 race it is women's rights that hangs on the edge, not men's rights.

It better damn well be defended, because those basic rights for women that are at stake in Nov.

Any woman or man that diminishes this critical juncture, through an online opinion piece like this one, isn't speaking for the greater population of women voters nor their daughter & granddaughters.

This is why they will unite, campaign, fundraise & vote like never before for our first woman President.

The gender card indeed is a very big part of what the election is a about & It should be.
To minimize the "woman card" as this opinion piece did, is to minimize the rights of women that stand to be lost forever in November.
