You people believe this stuff? The "war on women" is propaganda designed to rouse the rabble.
Republicans have mothers, wives, and daughters they care about. They're people too, believe it or not.
There is a reason why so few female politicians are Republican. In state legislatures in 2013, for instance, Democratic women outnumber GOP women 1037D-632R.
In Congress, Democratic women outnumber their Republican counterparts 16D-4R in the U.S. Senate and 59D-19R in the House.
And the GOP, the party which has few women in it, is the one which is tone-deaf or hostile to women's rights on everything from reproductive health care to violence against women to equal pay to family leave.
Perhaps you see no connection between these policies and the lack of women in your ranks. I think otherwise.
Yes. How would you explain the fact that Democratic women greatly outnumber their Republican counterparts? In the U.S. Senate, which represents high-level political office, only 20% of the female senators are Republican. Republican women senators make up 9% of the GOP Senate caucus. In the House, Republican women make up 8% of their caucus.
Democratic women are 29% of their caucus in the House and Senate.
It's interesting that you omitted governor's mansions.
I've never seen someone so proud of 13% in my life.
It's interesting that you omit the companion number to that figure.
Oh, wait, it's not.
krazen has half a point for once. The relevant number would be 80%: 4 of the 5 female Governors are Republican (although this includes virulently anti-women ones like Mary Fallin)
It's also a much smaller set than Senators etc, though.
