Okay, sisters. You wore your pink pussyhats, and you gave the Red Hen five-star reviews. You mocked the Second Civil War that was supposed to break out at all the SoulCycle studios and raw juice bars this week. That felt good.

But there’s a problem. The one place where women have the undisputed power to make real change — at the polls — has been a little lonely around some parts.

Voter turnout for this past string of primaries was pathetic in a number of states.

“If you didn’t knock on doors this cycle, if you didn’t help a candidate, you didn’t do enough,” said Wanika Fisher, 30, who is Maryland’s version of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 28-year-old who took out ­10-term incumbent Rep. Joseph Crowley in last month’s Democratic primary in New York.

1. I believe women will be a real force in 2018

The Supreme Court with the next appointment will have a profound affect on young women for the rest of their lives. They must stand up in November to protect themselves.

2. Very true. People who care about women, better show up and vote too. n/t
