What a sexist comment. Remember, it was 7 men on the Supreme Court which made abortion a constitutional right. It was an all male Congress which passed the constitutional amendment giving women the right to vote. Men can fairly represent women's interests just like women can fairly represent men's interests.
Maloney and Lappin made a decision as to who would represent the district best, male and female residents alike. In any case, the East Side has had no compunction about electing women to office in equal numbers to men. The gender of its representation is equal with its Congressmember, State Senator and one of its councilmembers being women and with both assemblymembers and one of its councilmembers being men.
