The Phony War On Women

Let's get to the truth, shall we? There is no war on women. At least, not in the United States.  It's a ruse, a political ploy to pander to the voting women of America,  and an unprincipled and unsubstantiated claim, meant to serve as a smokescreen for the dismal record of this President. I'm still waiting for the proponents of this war to offer facts as opposed to supposition. Perhaps they need some help understanding the concept of facts. Facts are these funny little things that support arguments. When you don't have facts, then you must resort to conjecture, supposition and name calling; exactly what I've heard from the war on women crowd.  So, in the interest of getting to the truth let me offer some facts as to why this "war on women" is phony.

In her new book, "The Richer Sex", Liza Monday cites new research that shows in U.S. cities single women in their 20's without children on average make more than men. Almost 40 percent of working wives out-earn their husbands. The next generation of women in America will make more than their male counterparts across all levels of employment.
In 49 of the last 50 months, unemployment was lower for women than men; this according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And women receive roughly three-fifth of both bachelors and masters degrees from American colleges and universities.The National Journal Heartland Monitor Group is reporting that three-fourths of women say they believe they can now advance as far as their talents will take them regardless of their gender. And nearly as many report that they have not experienced discrimination at all in the workplace.

These, my friends, are what we call facts. Now you warriors fighting this phony war on women, please offer yours.
