Yes Republican women must notice the fine example such as Democratic women Pelosi , Feinstein, Waters , Harris ,and Clinton set . That must push the away from women legislators .
Personally the antics of Freeland , Clark , Wynee and others in Canada make me wonder the same at times . Unfortunately the men are often times worse .
Look at the numbers:

How women are turning the House blue

With the midterms now just 29 days away, a new poll of 69 of the most competitive House districts in the country suggests that the Republican majority is in deep, deep peril.
The survey, which was conducted by the Washington Post and the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University, shows that 50% of voters in those 69 seats prefer a generic Democratic candidate for Congress while 46% would rather vote for a Republican.
That 4-point gap might not seem like much. After all, most national polls suggest the Democratic edge is wider! Except ... these same 69 districts favored the generic Republican over the generic Democrat by a 56%-41% margin back in 2016. That's a massive swing -- and it's indicative of just how much Democrats have made inroads in what was Trump country less than two years ago.

Now, if angry, previously sexually molested women can be persuaded to step up and vote ...
That's how it works. That way states like NY and CA cannot dominate the country. The Electoral College gives all the states a voice.
i.e. The jerkwater Hillbillies from Bugtussle, Pennsyltuckey control the Union.
Glad to see you are still on the planet, Sleepy. I was beginning to have serious concerns. Wisdom like yours (and mine) is sadly lacking here.
No they don't control the Union. They have a say in it. Same goes for Delaware, Maine, and New Hampshire, etc. Why should New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles control the Union?
