Ladies, conservatives think your dads aren't real men

Why would anyone ever say that there's a GOP war on women? From the supposedly serious conservative publication National Review:

The offspring of rich families are statistically biased in favor of sons ' the children of the general population are 51 percent male and 49 percent female, but the children of the Forbes billionaire list are 60 percent male. Have a gander at that Romney family picture: five sons, zero daughters. Romney has 18 grandchildren, and they exceed a 2:1 ratio of grandsons to granddaughters (13:5). When they go to church at their summer-vacation home, the Romney clan makes up a third of the congregation. He is basically a tribal chieftain.

Professor Obama? Two daughters. May as well give the guy a cardigan. And fallopian tubes.

Only the weak and effeminate (which are terrible things) have girls. Because girls are bad!

That's a serious argument, believe it or not. My response?

Markos and Eli Sorry, I didn't have any cardigans handy.

I realize they threw George W. Bush under the bus a few years back, but what about St. Ronnie? He had Patti and Maureen Reagan, plus a son who liked to dance.

The killer of bin Laden has two daughters.
