She obviously needs to take the RNC course given to GOP politicians called "how to talk to women, i.e., so they will vote for you. Or maybe she's teaching that course.

“Men do tend to talk about things on a much higher level,” Ellmers said. “Many of my male colleagues, when they go to the House floor, you know, they’ve got some pie chart or graph behind them and they’re talking about trillions of dollars and how, you know, the debt is awful and, you know, we all agree with that.”

“We need our male colleagues to understand that if you can bring it down to a woman’s level and what everything that she is balancing in her life — that’s the way to go,” she said.

Republican woman says GOP needs to bring policy discussions ‘down to a woman’s level’

Basically she's saying men need to dumb it down so we can get it into our pretty little heads. And the saddest part of all is that these remarks come from a woman. Perhaps she is just not bright enough to be a representative, and is transferring her own deficiencies onto her entire gender.

One thing is for sure. The GOP needs to hold a few more of those seminars about how to talk to women, because it's clear they still have a long way to go to bring themselves into the 21st century, where women are acknowledged to have brains and to know how to use them. Unless, perhaps, they are Republican women...?
So when Pelosi told you, 'we have to pass it to see what is in it" you must have been apoplectic! She treated you as a little child who could never understand the impact of that heralded legislation, just be quiet and let us make the decision for you.

When Pelosi lied about the implication of the hobby Lobby court decision, did you not get the impression she thought women are too overwhelmed to understand the legal implications and would unconditionallly believe her lies?

Obamacare ended intimate doctor/ patient relationships for most women. Relationships that took a long time to develop.

Obama promised to raise energy prices and yet you voted for him depite the financial burden he placed upon single women and their children.

HRC gets a guilty child rapist freed of charges of assaulting a 12 yr old girl. Then HRC defends her husbands affairs at the cost of the women involved.

They ignore the women in their own party who are about as bright as a bag of hair. NEWS FLASH!! There are stupid women on both sides of the aisle.

Well, compare that to the liberal position that women are incapable of supporting themselves, negotiating wages, heck, liberals claim women are incapable of even buying "the pill" for themselves.

Saying that politicians make their discussions incomprehensible to women is true. It's also incomprehensible to men, as well. I'm not sure exactly what your point is, unless, of course, you're choosing to be deliberately disingenuous.

Nice rant. But none of it has anything to do with fact that a Republican politician made the astounding claim that women aren't intelligent enough to understand discussions about policy. It's a ridiculously stupid thing to say, which even you can't deny.

Nice bounce all over the map trying to deflect, though.
