Virginia's astounding "gender" gap (votes, democratic, Republican, conservative)

[WesternPilgrim]

Let me first apologize for using the word "gender", a feminist weasel-word I try hard to avoid. But it's in the headline.

"A new poll of the swing-state Virginia from the left-leaning Public Policy Polling finds President Barack Obama with a 3-point lead over Republican nominee Mitt Romney. The intensity of the gender gap is a main reason why. Obama leads by an incredible 17 points among Virginia women, who comprise 55 percent of PPP's sample. Meanwhile, Romney edges Obama by 16 points with men."

Is it just me, or is the alienation of American women from American men escalating at breakneck pace?

The democratic party may be even better at identity politics that I would have assumed. Pity.

10 million more women than men voted in the 2008 presidential election, nationwide. Voter turnout was 132 million.

How is this alienation?

What are you saying? That men should vote the way that women tell them to?


Also, across the nation, women supporting Romney have ticked way up. Do you have a complaint against these women as well?

Just because someone votes for Romney doesn't mean that they are out to get you.

If conservative American men want to continue to try and subjugate women and their bodies, alienation is the result. Don't like it? Don't support it and certainly don't participate in it.

I think he's on your side.

They can't even sniff out their own anymore, it seems. I'm sure that's also the fault of women.

All this says to me is that men in Virginia are more concerned about having jobs than women are.

Keeping spewing that b.s. It will help convince women that conservatives like you give a crap about women and their priorities, which happen to also include the economy.

What's the point you are trying to make pilgrim? Are you upset that more women vote? that women are getting enough attention?: It seemed like you took issue with the word "gender" which is a medical term, I am really confused with what you are trying to say.
