It's not sexist. The underlying message is "...as opposed to Republican women, who are devoid of life."

They bring an energy to the party dem men can't always bring, not because we are lesser, but we are not under the same focused attack as women are right now and have long been. So they have to bring an extra fight to the battle to defend their rights. And they do. Eloquently and bravely.

I love the image of vibrant, happy, hard-working and energetic women. I love having the word "Life" attached to us. And I especially love it when women ourselves use the slogan. Strut your liveliness, join hands with your brothers and make this party even greater, I say!

If that's sexist, it's also the way things are!

When you represent women adequately and treat them well, they know you love them.

Hearing it made it even worse. So inauthentic it's hard to believe.
