Classic example of presenting a false dilemma - since only old white men are working on issues that affect women, then only women should be the ones who work on issues that affect women.
The false dilemma is imploded by noting the third option, having both men and women work on issues that affect women...and other issues that affect men...and any other issues that affect everyone.
How about including women in the discussion no matter what the topic? No more 100% male committees. I realize that the 7 republican women in the senate might be over worked because of it, but, that seems preferable to excluding them.
this is a response to the criticism that Trump's administration is a bunch of "old white men" and they are working on issues that affect women
... what?
To be clear, the problem being identified by many is that there is a lack of diversity involved in the healthcare conversation, which is a valid concern. Your "response" is to ask the same question by setting up essentially the same scenario, except the gender is swapped... and you think this makes what point?
The healthcare issues affects all of us so there should be a solid representation across the board.
