Women’s Issues’ and the 2024 Election By John F. Di Leo

In the political world, it is often assumed that -- all things being equal -- a female candidate has an advantage of a couple points over a male candidate. - John F. Di Leo

This isn’t necessarily unfair, on its own. 

It’s just the way it is...
Now, no male candidate of either party ever campaigns as being better “for men’s issues.” It never happens. 

But female Democrats campaign for office all the time, claiming that they are the clear choice “for women’s issues.”

• It is fair, therefore, to ask the question: what are these “women’s issues” they speak of?...

Sometimes you have to drill down a couple of layers to get this honest answer, but in the end, it is undeniable: To the modern Democrat campaign -- not to the voters, necessarily, but to the candidates -- the only “women’s issues” are about abortion.
So, the voter needs to ask a question: aren’t any other issues also women’s issues? 

And if so, where do the candidates stand on them?
For example:

• ...Crime is a women’s issue. The mugger, carjacker, home invader, rapist, or convenience store robber who might have second thoughts before attacking a potential male will likely think of the female pedestrian, driver, jogger, or store clerk as an easier target...Voters deserve to know whether the candidate supports prosecuting and jailing criminals, or setting criminals free. They deserve to know whether the candidate supports the wholesale emptying of prisons and the defunding the police, or keeping our jails and police forces operating at full strength...
• So immigration, too, is a women’s issue. The damage done by tens of millions of illegal immigrants who can’t or won’t assimilate into our society and our economy is simply incalculable...
• Now, turn to the Biden-Harris regime’s war on forms of energy...directly caused a doubling of the cost of gasoline and diesel, while simultaneously contributing to the degradation of the electric grid...

Where do the candidates and their parties stand on these issues?
You know. 

We all know...
