[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought Ann Romney had about 4 or 5 really good lines but I was enormously uncomfortable with how she gave women the credit for working all day and then coming home and helping with book reports.  How women handle more overall work than men and are the "best of America."  And how she didn't know that any man in America could understand this but women in America don't expect their lives to be easy. I thought that was really offensive to all the men out there working and raising families.  I know my dh would be extremely annoyed at being characterized as if he didn't "get" it.

Sorry, Ann, maybe your husband doesn't work as hard as you do but mine is out there everyday taking care of business and taking care of our family. He rocks![/quote]

Yes, thanks for bringing this up. As a husband and father, I was very offended by the comments Ann made last night. I also recall her saying something like women sigh louder/harder because of their concerns about tomorrow or making through another day (something like that). I take it that me and my DW are not alone in that we face these challenges (and achievements) together, night and day. The GOPs' efforts to make whole with the millions of women it has (and continues to) offended ought not suggest that women are going it alone in the homes across our country.[/quote]

Indeed.  And if they really cared about the plight of women they wouldn't espouse such draconian policies on health care and reproductive rights, nor would they refuse to support legislation like the fair pay act.  Just more lip service that intelligent women recognize as dog-whistle bullshit.[/quote]

Most intelligent women have more worries than free contraceptives and weekly abortions. [/quote]
