In the past, this blatant lack of representation has resulted in a disproportionate focus on what Lee calls “macro” topics like foreign policy and the economy, with little attention paid to how these topics affect women-identifying people. And, as advocates have been reminding us again and again this election season, it has resulted in little to no discussion of the crisis of women losing abortion rights in states like Georgia (where this debate took place), the growing scourge of maternal mortality, the lack of affordable childcare, institutions that protect sexual assault perpetrators, widespread workplace discrimination against pregnant women , and other issues that are swept to the side despite the fact that many of them affect over half the population. According to Lee's analysis, only 4% of 2019 debate questions before last night were about issues that primarily affect women.
