"What will you do about poverty" is giving a politician an opportunity to lie to you for an hour straight in a commercial for themselves.
"What is a woman" is a test of a politician's ability to think critically for themselves vs. run commercials that they think their pet lobbyists want to hear that they either pass, or retreat from.
This lets the public know who is really there to help them vs. carrying water for liberal grift.
