It is if it's at the expense of mens rights. Rarely are a mans rights addressed with any sense of reason.

I know how you Democrats love microbrews.

Republicans prefer macrobrews?

Ah yes.....poor, poor, poor downtrodden men.

Tell us, how does giving women equal rights, allowing them to control their own lives.....oppress men?

Weak, sniveling men may feel oppressed when their wittle egos get bruised because thay can't lord over women any longer.....but that's their own personality problem....not society's problem.

Strong, well balanced men don't have a problem with equal, independent women.

Why would any intelligent woman vote for Republicans who want to erode women's rights? They wouldn't.

Republicans can launch all of the "Woman Up" campaigns they want to.....not going to work.....as women will be watching what kind of legislation Republicans are trying to pass.....not their sound bites. We have our eyes on what you are doing, not what you are saying....too bad for you.

But, what they need to realize is that this 'American Dream' is actually the answer to many of society's problems and it can be achieved again if we desire it. I think the Romney Family is a great role model and I think he, as the next President is capable of leading us toward the economic recovery we need to all be able to achieve some variation of this dream. I just hope more women, specifically the Dems will wake up and embrace it - for the children.
For the most part it's not being a stay at home mother that Ann Romney is criticized for.

She is criticized for saying that she's has to "Struggle" as a stay at home mom while she has servants, cooks, and other household staff while having two Cadillacs, three homes and a husband that makes over $20 million dollars mostly from capital gains, which are taxed at 15%.

She also mad several other comments that indicate that she is out of touch with many American women that HAVE TO work AND take care of their children.

No further comment necessary.

Yeah no ****e.... Just today i was forced to heat my own bowl of soup.
Equal rights are good for everyone. Its how it should be.
Special rights or quota based systems??? bad for everyone.
Give the woman a fair chance and she will perform on par with her male counterparts. No maybe its a fact.

We're talking about the political party levying taxes on children not yet born. We're talking about the political party that thinks a woman's sole purpose in life is to provide sexual gratification to men she isn't married to (in addition to voting Democrat). If in the process, a woman inadvertently conceives a child with the man she isn't married to, she's to be immediately marched to a government-sanctioned termination facility in order to have the child vacuumed out so as to not impede her ability to sexually gratify various men she's not married to.

We're talking about the political party that thinks any woman who dares to become a mother should have to kill herself working outside of the home while at the same time trying to raise children rather than marry a man who will provide for her children so she can stay home and raise them properly. I mean what's the point? If you're a married woman, you should probably listen to your husband before you go in the voting booth, he knows best. If you're an unmarried woman, you probably shouldn't be voting seeing as you don't have a husband to tell you how to vote and may not have the proper judgement to select the best candidate.
Holy cow - if you are just a tiny sliver of the representation of a Republican, I find it hard to believe that anyone would vote for that party.

And in quite a few cases, outperform her male counterparts.
I've read studies where women outperformed men as pilots, and also as marksmen, just to reference 2 fields.
My husband and I belong to IPSIC;
International Practical Shooting Confederation
I outshoot him on a regular basis, he loves it.
