Found an interesting quote in Washington Monthly that led me to this article (“Will We Abandon Women’s Rights in the Name of Progressive Politics?”) in New York Magazine by Rebecca Traister.

“Open your eyes to where the resistance is really coming from,” Hogue urged on Thursday. “There are literally millions of women who have been pouring calls into Senate offices, House offices, going to town halls, filing to run for office; we are literally three months out from the largest protest in U.S. history that was overwhelmingly women, in the name of women; that’s where the resistance is. This is the Democratic party base. So why is the place to start negotiating the place that pulls the heart out of the resistance?”

We have been chewing on this topic since the election, and I don’t think this article solves the conundrum, but it does give a good airing to the arguments!

It’s the women!
