Last week, a group of feminist activists met with various members of Congress to discuss women’s sex-based rights. The group was led by members of the Women’s Liberation Front, an unapologetically radical feminist organization that supports women and girls as a sex class and opposes the inclusion of men in female-only sports and spaces. One of the women in attendance was Irene Lawrence, a board member of Women’s Declaration International USA.

The group’s meeting with Sen John Fetterman’s (D-Pa.) staff in particular could not have gone worse. According to Julia Hing, Fetterman chief of staff Jason Smith reportedly mocked a rape survivor and accused the women of lying about the importance of female-only spaces. When they told him that women are leaving the Democratic Party over such treatment, he reportedly responded, “Good. Leave. Go.” Then he threw them out of his office.

Liberal activists like these have long formed a core constituency for Democrats. But if Democrats keep asking liberal women to leave their party, then guess what — they will leave. And they are leaving.
