"Democrats are for defending women, youth and our most vulnerable"
If this is the case, why is it so hard to then define what a woman is for Democrats? Democrats can't define what a woman is but we must have a woman president....ok
Why do Democrats want to have MEN in WOMENS environments? (sports, locker rooms, bathrooms, etc)
