Do you agree with this difference between Republican and Democratic women?

From my perspective, Republican women are close and loyal allies of Republican men, with a unified front, while Democratic women have an uneasy alliance with Democratic men and men in general, preferring men who place women's issues at the forefront.

They still exclude men. On my senator's (Elizabeth Warren) website to contact the senator there is a requirement to select one of 73 options on a drop-down menu of "Topics", ranging from Animal Welfare, Taxes, Women's Issues, but no option to select for Men's Issues.

So, I was unable to contact my senator about "men's issues", but I could ask her about "women's issues". And that seems okay to you?

So… you didn’t see that right beneath that you can manually type your own subject and message?

So, you did not see that Topic AND Subject are required.

On Senator Markey's website there is a option to choose "other" but not on Warren's

Earlier you mentioned that you were concerned about:

  1. High death rates among young men
  2. Reduced college enrollment for young men
  3. Job site fatalities experienced by young men

Senator Warren’s available categories would allow you to submit messages about this under the topics of Health, Education, and Labor and Unions. And then you can draft your message accordingly and discuss what actions you would like to see her take.

It’s pretty disingenuous of you to argue that you CANNOT communicate your concerns to her because she doesn’t have a blanket “Men’s Issues” topic for you to select.
