Thank you for taking the time to contact me. I am glad to know that you have visited my website and appreciate your suggestion to include an option for "Gender Equality" or "Men's Issues" on the contact page.

The list of issues is designed to create a more efficient process for constituents and for me to process the over 300,000 messages my office receives annually. The specific topics shown reflect the more frequent topics that constituents contact me about, and I will keep your suggestion in mind as I continue to improve my website in the future. In the meantime, please know that I intend to respond to all emails I receive through this page, even if the topic of the email does not directly match the topic selected from the drop-down menu.

If I can be of further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact my office.

Sincerely,

Tammy Baldwin United States Senator

So that's what I got. It was completely void of any stance she has impacting men's issues, it was completely void of any information about legislation she voted for impacting men's issues, and the higher-up staffer I talked to effectively told me they will not send me this information and had no information about where I could find this information.

This is not what I asked for at all for the email. This is action I asked to be taken, but I wanted the email to include policies and stances on many issues I listed. All I was told was that she is for gender equality, and that I would need to give more specifics for more information.

But I never said gender equality broadly. I gave specific stats for specific issues and those were apparently "confused" in the process. They played a game of summarizing my position as gender equality and then asked me to give more specifics. When I did, they asked me to email it because the specifics could be lost over the phone.

When I brought up the issue of how the federal government could fix homelessness, I was laughed at. In fact, they don't seem to be willing to consider my specifics unless they are specific enough to actually answer the issue

I also mentioned that I had not seen Sen. Baldwin vote on any issues relating to men and boys, and I was told she can't vote on issues that aren't introduced. I mentioned that Sen. Baldwin could be the one to introduce the issues, and they admitted that to an extent, but then avoided by saying she's for gender equality (over and over and over).

They also told me Sen. Baldwin would not support anything specifically aimed at just males. When I brought up an example asking if she supports shutting down shelters for battered women, the staffer said no, of course not. When I asked why then Sen. Baldwin would not support shelters for battered men specifically, I was told Sen. Baldwin might but that there aren't any shelters for battered men. I said EXACTLY! The staffer came back with that is a state issue (which of course there are things that can be done on both the state and federal level).

They also basically complained that I had called over and over and been responded to many times, even given a phone call. I received no phone call as far as I can tell, but even if I did and there was no answer that would hardly count. And I had not been emailed previously. This was literally the first contact I received from her.

The staffer went on to make excuses for why I haven't been contacted. The same excuses I have heard over and over. But then why did she bring up that I had been contacted over and over? The staffer brought that up not me. And this seemed to be a higher-up staffer as the staffer was talking about how interns can mess up as one of her excuses.

Anyways, I just wanted to let everybody know about the email and my latest call to them about it. I am now going to be sending an email about the issue with stats and issues. If anybody has any information about Sen. Baldwin's voting on these issues or issues for women or girls that excludes men and boys, please post it. If anybody has specific issues they won't raised please let me know and I'll try to include it, but also try to give resources so I can look into the issues. Thanks.
