I'm not sure you should (leave it at that). The question here is how
welcoming to women the socialist movement is. And it is women, not some
abstract argument, that must determine that.

The low number of women on this list earmarks it already as marginal to
the future of left politics. To argue with one of the few women on the
list over a really quite minor but reasonable request is, quite frankly,
close to scabbing.
