It's an important issue to women - and to men who support women's rights. And in the broader sense, to parents.Imagine focusing on that rather than actually important issues
"There are more important issues" is such a lame defence - Well, a deflection, really. "I don't want to see anything critical of <insert favoured politician / party here> so if they do or say something that is objectively stupid - at the very least - I will not acknowledge this, I will just say 'there are more important issues'"
