See, I think you hit on something that always sits wrong with me whenever you guys (sweeping generalization of the left to follow, however this fits your statement) discuss these intersectional issues. There appears to be this belief that you need to put a "token" minority or member of the so called oppressed community into something in order to make it "fair". Maybe none of the Republican women felt like being the "token" female on the committee because their interests or their state's interests lay elsewhere. Murkowski, from Alaska, is on the energy committee...hmmm...wonder why that would interest her?
You all do not realize how bigoted and condescending you all come off sometimes when you talk that way.
