Yes those men who are inclined to be fearful over "losing control" may react with fear to such a statement. And I would not suggest that the Democratic Party adopt it as an official slogan. Of course I agree that it is not a zero sum game, and I know that it is right wing framing to describe it that way. I however see this as a win/win. Women are 51% of the American public. When they have a just degree of representation "in positions of power", as opposed to how our nation is run currently, my voice too, male as I am, will be better heard than is now the case.
