New York City congressional candidate Carolyn Maloney is running a gender-based campaign arguing that she will always put women first. What are male voters supposed to think about that?

Male voters should think the same thing that female voters should: Carolyn Maloney will always put Carolyn Maloney first. She’s a politician.
If she puts women first “enough,” men will make out just fine – if only by accident.
However, note that Maloney is an INCUMBENT Democrat who, according to wiki, has been “the U.S. representative for New York’s 12th congressional district since 2013, and for New York’s 14th congressional district from 1993 to 2013.” That will be 30 years at the end of her current term.
Ted, is there anything else you can tell us about her career that would qualify as having fought for any of her constituents? (That is, with the exception of Manhattan/Bronx landlords one of which she seems to be. Link to open secrets: financial report: tinyurl.com/2vrpuw2k)
Have any women asked her how may bills she’s introduced to codify the rights of Roe v. Wade, PRIOR to its recent demise at SCOTUS, in that time? If none, then how much in the way of Roe v. Wade money did she successfully solicit? If one or more, why did it/they not pass?
