Why can't Bernie headline a women's march?

Excerpts:

And yet the criticism persisted...

The economic justice movement is an intersectional movement. Medicare for all, if successful, would be the single most significant gain for women's health in recent history. And behaving as though making women's issues "secondary" to economic issues hurts women — women who bear the brunt of poverty's most crushing effects — is disingenuous and dangerous. Political prioritization means that someone is "secondary." The question should be whether the issue slotted in first place is well chosen.

In economic justice, Sanders has chosen correctly. He deserves to be heard.
