I have been totally transparent that I support women candidates.
I created #FlipItFemale (I think--parallel generation happens on here a lot).

Representation matters.
Right now women are in a literal fight for our lives against the Trump-led #GOP juggernaut that wants to eviscerate every protection based on sex that women have fought for for decades like #EqualPay #ReproRights & #TitleIX.

On the 170th anniversary of the Women's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls where suffragists proudly proclaimed that "all men AND women are created equal," it's sad we're still striving to achieve that vision. It's why I introduce the Equal Rights Amendment every Congress, and... 
...why I proudly voted for the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act that President Obama signed into law, and continue to work to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act to bolster enforcement of our pay discrimination laws so my daughter & granddaughter don't face the same wage gap my mother did
It's why I'm working to #StopKavanaugh from joining the Supreme Court, where he will surely oppose women's equality by overturning #RoevWade, and helping religious employers deny coverage for contraception. Rallied w/ @CoryBooker @PPact @NJ_CASA this week menendez.senate.gov/news-and-event…
A list of things that suck about being a victim of #MeToo:
1. He suffered no consequences
2. He frightens you but you have to act calm and polite around him

4. He successfully made you feel like a piece of meat, like that was your whole value
5. A not very valuable piece of meat, even
6. He will be lauded as a barrier breaker, a thinker
7. You will spend your days terrified. And angry. And fighting being terrified and angry.
