Pure virtue signaling. Medicare for all covering all prenatal care, delivery and abortions will do far more for women's rights than picking a female VP.

I can't see that ever passing. Many states will vote for R candidates for Senate and House seats, so those kinds of bills will never pass. Too many misogynists in the left wing to support anything for women, either.

Yep, unfortunately. Also, let's add guarantined maternity leave, better workplace pregnancy protections, expanded childcare and government sponsored childcare, so that women don't have to choose between working and having children.

I get what you’re saying, although I see the whole gender-bender BS as a loophole to obliterate maternity leave and other women’s rights. I mean; the left in the UK seems to have abandoned women’s

If women don’t exist, can they get pregnant? I could see transwomen in left wing politics allowing maternity leave and pregnancy protections to disappear, if only out of spite and to “stick it to the Karens”.

If men in skirts are women, does anybody really need to hire born women in the first place? Why wouldn’t employers just hire trans and avoid the “problems of breeders”? It’s all problematic, and they want to allow children to trans without parental consent as it is. You will have more TW to elbow women out of any power positions and jobs.

I completely agree but I live in the US where maternity leave is non existent. The only federal protection is taking 12 weeks off unpaid if you work for a company with 50 or more employees. And then childcare can cost $2000 a month. So what is a new mother to do? This is the state of women's rights in the US and it's a disgrace. Solving this is a much bigger priority than having a token woman on top. And if that woman is supporting the trans agenda, she will be even worse.

I don't care if it's a man or a woman that pushes legislation that helps women. Didn't men pass the maternity leave laws in the UK?

I'm all for having more women in government but policy comes first. Korea had a female president and Korea is still just as patriarchal and she turned out to be controlled by a cult.

My maternity leave pay was abysmal over a decade ago...

That's a serious issue that needs focus

Exactly, this whole trans movement is an MRA movement in disguise that will destroy women's rights and make it impossible to talk about women's issues and activism.

What's really infuriating as how many of the people pushing this are 20-something male porn addicts. This crap will only get worse as more and more porn addicts take leadership positions.

The left seems to think they solved the problem by erasing women. How can you have sexism if woman is a spectrum and state of mind and all people experience these issues? It's not a woman problem, bc men experience (insert actual woman problem) too.

Why is it that Americans don't want what the rest of the developed world has and celebrates?

This seems to go a lot deeper than individual politicians or even parties (democrats don't support M4A either, generally speaking - the party certainly doesn't) but it's such a weird anachronism.

People are brainwashed to hate anything remotely related to “communism”, and they’ve been taught that unions and social safety networks = “communism”.

I hate communism too as I'm from a post-communist country but even my relatives who lived through brutal communist regimes are pretty down with SOME of the social programs implemented during communist rule which have remained, and miss others which have walked back. The society seems to be more communal and cohesive too even if that cohesion is often based on negativity and suspicion toward governments and government diktats, so I find it kind of strange that Americans who didn't even experience the brutal aspects of communism are so allergic to mildly "socialist" programs.

A lot of this results from decades of targeted propaganda aimed at US citizens.
