The Herald-Sun published a piece signed by state Sen. Ellie Kinnaird, D-Orange/Person. In her comments about challenges to the state’s new election maps, the senator, known as one of the most liberal in the state, includes a paragraph that implies women are more valuable to political discourse and public policy-making than men. Could the senator really believe that? Is the senator arguing that women should be exempt from competition for a seat in the legislature? Is the senator arguing that female candidates should not have to run against another female? Is the senator arguing for political quotas for women? You be the judge.
