We can disagree on some things.   I am very aware that politically, Democratic policy has done far more to promote equality for women in the workplace that the Republicans.   I probably should have mentioned that.  My fault.

But some of that is the general feeling from Republcans that doesn't encourage any federal actions for social reasons.   

There are millions of women who are happy being Republicans, even if they don't represent Your idea of what a woman's life should be.  Abortion is obvious the key right that Democrats have supported and protected.   Women who oppose abortion (and they are easy to find) are heavily Republican.   I know these women and they see their role as mother/protector and nurturing of children.  That protective maternal impulse extends through pregnancy and has nothing to do with mysogyny.

But down to a specific behavior, nobody thinks of their party affilition the moment when their sexuality is in play.  Assault is personal, not political.
