That gender gap isn't going away

Conservatives think they've moved on past the war on women, but have women been so quick to move on?

I dug up sex numbers for the most recent polls that include such data. The results:

No, women haven't moved on. Nor will they. And given that they turn out in far bigger numbers than men, that's a real problem for the GOP. In fact, in 2008, nearly 10 million more women voted than men (PDF).

And just watch. The closer we get to election day, and the more women look like they'll provide the winning margins, the nastier the anti-women rhetoric will become. By September, we'll be hearing about how women are too stupid to make proper voting decisions. By October, they'll be bemoaning the day women got the right to vote. By November, they'll be calling for women to be burned at the stake.

Wait, a second, what am I talking about? They're already saying those things.

'I think that one of the greatest mistakes America made was to allow women the opportunity to vote,' Peterson says. 'We should've never turned this over to women. And these women are voting in the wrong people. They're voting in people who are evil who agrees with them who're gonna take us down this pathway of destruction.'

'And this probably was the reason they didn't allow women to vote when men were men. Because men in the good old days understood the nature of the woman,' he adds. 'They were not afraid to deal with it. And they understood that, you let them take over, this is what would happen.'
