"The simultaneous ascendance of feminist forces within the Democratic Party and antifeminist forces within the Republicans illustrated the logic of issue sorting in a two-party system. One party’s position change affected the other party’s approach, along with the strategic arguments that internal factions might make. As Gloria Steinem pointed out in the summer of 1980, the Republicans’ decision to stake out the right wing on women’s issues bolstered the rationale for the Democrats to speak forthrightly on them as a way of mobilizing women voters. And the further such sorting proceeded on a given issue, the more obvious was the necessity of choosing a side."
