More nitpicking from the self-centered wimminfolkz

Oh who cares about this. There are important things to worry about:

Less than a quarter of Republicans believe that electing more women to Congress would be a good thing, according to an ABC News/Fusion poll released on Wednesday. About 60 percent of Democrats and 43 percent of Americans overall said that it would be a good thing if more women were elected to Congress, the poll found. Only 23 percent of Republicans said it would be a good thing, while more than two-thirds of Republicans said it makes no difference to them. Currently, women make up slightly more than half of the U.S. population, but just 18 percent of Congress.

But Republican voters do not seem to be worried about the lack of women in Congress, for the most part, and they are not particularly concerned about women in the workplace. The ABC poll found that while 68 percent of Democrats believe women have fewer opportunities than men in the workplace, only 38 percent of Republicans agree with that statement, despite the wide and persistent wage gap.

Hey, women may be 50% of the population but having only 18% of them in political leadership positions is plenty. Men have been taking care of the ladies for a long time and know what they’re doing. And I think we all know that it’s no big deal if women make less money. They obviously prefer it that way or they’d be making more, amirite?

And anyway, there’s no difference between the two parties on the important issues so it really doesn’t matter. Carry on.

Also too, this:

I can’t imagine why more women aren’t right wingers.
