The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is ‘What does a woman want?’ – Sigmund Freud
Though the mystery of feminine wants has stumped poets, philosophers, and the father of psychoanalysis, today’s Democratic politicians think they’ve found the key — at least to the political desires of most women: a single-minded focus on the gynecological.
Republicans, whipsawed by the results of 2012 races that featured large gender gaps, particularly among single women, and aware that women have trended Democrat for decades, seem bewildered. A Karl Rove-commissioned study found that women voters consider the Republican Party “intolerant” and “lacking in compassion.” Consultants, gnawing nervously on polling and demographic data, implore Republican candidates to emphasize economic questions and soft-pedal the social issues. The candidates themselves, uncomfortable with the whole subject and wondering why they can’t just discuss the capital gains tax, mumble about how much they love their wives and eye the exits.
Democrats are running against monsters. They are running to protect American women from the hostile, patriarchal, domineering men of the Republican Party. (Chivalry is not dead!) In the Democrats’ ghoulish caricature, Republicans are not just wrong on the issues that women care about, but are barely above criminals. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, used rhetoric only slightly more florid than the Democratic norm when she said of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, “What Republican Tea Party extremists like Scott Walker are doing is they are grabbing us by the hair and pulling us back.”
Republicans who think they can avoid women’s issues, or blunt their power by talk of entrepreneurship or free markets, are rewarding the Democrats’ tactics. Silence gives consent. Moreover, they are conveying their fear that the Democrats’ interpretation of women’s wants is correct. They may even believe it more sincerely than Democrats themselves.
Democrats claim to believe that most women want what liberal Democrats want — taxpayer-funded abortion for any reason, free contraceptives, and so forth. “Issues like access to birth control and abortion will get voters to the polls this November,” predicted Dawn Laguens of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund. But Democratic campaign commercials reveal something else: They dare not present Republican positions accurately. The “Republicans want to outlaw abortion and contraception” lie has arguably replaced the “Republicans want to take away your Medicare” as the chief scare tactic in the dishonest Democratic arsenal.
A number of Democrats are running ads this month claiming that Republicans seek to “ban all abortions even in cases of rape and incest.” Democrat John Foust in Virginia’s 10th Congressional District is airing a commercial that features a sweater-clad, thirtysomething woman telling the camera that Republican Barbara Comstock opposes abortion even in cases of rape and incest. “That’s all I need to know,” the appalled sweater lady announces as she turns to leave. In fact, Comstock, who is pro-life, is on record supporting exceptions in cases of rape or incest.
FactCheck.org, noting that similar false claims were made about Mitt Romney in 2012, sums up the tactic: “In race after race, Democratic ads are misrepresenting, distorting and exaggerating their Republican opponents’ position on abortion to make them seem more strict (and therefore less popular) than they really are.”
Meanwhile, two Democratic Senate campaigns — Sen. Mark Udall’s in Colorado and Rep. Bruce Braley’s in Iowa — are peddling howling distortions of their opponents’ views on contraception. Udall’s ads accuse Rep. Cory Gardner of conducting an “8-year crusade to outlaw birth control.” In Iowa, Rep. Bruce Braley is running spots suggesting that Republican Joni Ernst would “outlaw most common forms of birth control.” Other campaigns are following the same script.
In truth, no Republican candidate favors outlawing or even limiting the availability of birth control. The Democrats’ case goes like this: Some Republicans have supported so-called “personhood” amendments — most did so to confirm their pro-life beliefs — and if you stretch the concept in a particular direction, and you presume certain implementing legislation, and you posit that the law would survive a court challenge, then such initiatives could possibly result in some forms of birth control such as the IUD (but not the pill, which is frequently flashed on screen during political ads) being considered abortifacients and outlawed. But as FactCheck.org and others agree, this interpretation requires more assumptions and speculation than can withstand reasonable scrutiny, and it flies in the face of explicit statements to the contrary by Republican candidates.
Continues...for many more paragraphs. ;)
A sense of humor is very high on my list. If a man can make a woman laugh he’s well on his way. If he can find humor in himself, in life, in me
..I’d tend to overlook dirty socks on the floor and other little things that might ordinarily drive me batty.

He's been beating the "war on women" drum so obnoxiously he's now referred to as Mark Uterus.
*GROAN*
“Mark Uterus.” LOL!
Is he related to LibTard Mo Udall who used to run for this, that and the other thing in Wisconsin?

Saw the other day where Freud died the year I was born.
Does that make me his ‘replacement’? (There was a 16 day gap).
Guy walking down the beach and kicks a bottle. He hears a sound and picks it up, rubbed it and out comes a Genie.
Thank you sire! I have been in this bottle 300 years and I will grant you ONE wish...Make it a good one, no more 3 wishes.
The guy thought and said “I am deathly afraid of flying, get extremely sea sick and would love to go to Hawaii.
I want a bridge to Hawaii”.
The Genie shakes his head and launches into a 60 minute tirade, including ..
“I am sorry, that is probably one of the few things I am unable to do, the logistics alone would be prohibitive, the pilings would be a nightmare and ‘we’ would not be able to take on that task. As a ‘special offer’, you may have another wish.”
“What do Women Want?”
“Sir, do you want 4 or 6 lanes on that bridge?”
What do they want?
Who the hell knows but, fir sure they want remember and in great detail crap that doesn’t matter.
Maybe they want a dig whistle.
Orgasm ... as quickly and powerful and complete as a man’s ... with the same detachment following
Fun movie.
Respect. Sing it, Aretha.
And, trust me. Democrats KNOW this, and they've done everything in their power to destroy the Nuclear Family. They win by default!
Add to THAT to invasion of illegals, which includes TONS of Single Mothers and/or the, 'Immediately Dependent The Minute They Get Here' to vote for the Socialists, too!
From the article:
Though you wouldn’t guess it by the ladies who write for the New York Times or “The Daily Show,” white women also lean Republican. But their share of the electorate is declining too, at least in presidential years. Mitt Romney got a healthy 56 percent of the white female vote, but white women’s share of the electorate was only 38 percent, down from 41 percent in 2004.
Single gals are drawn to Democrats as the sparks fly upward. A whopping 67 percent voted for President Obama in 2012. In the McAuliffe-Cuccinelli contest for Virginia governor last year, the Democrat trounced the Republican by 42 points among unmarried women. This disproportion in the votes of single women, evident nationwide, is enough to place the overall women’s vote in the Democratic column most of the time. Nominating women doesn’t seem to matter much. South Carolina’s Gov. Nikki Haley, gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman, and Senate candidates Sharron Angle and Carly Fiorina all received only a minority of women’s votes.
The gender gap has been a feature of American politics for decades. Men lean Republican, but—this is key — usually by smaller margins than single women lean Democrat.
Security.
Too many women want to be men, but they just don’t have the balls.
For me it has been a great joy! Life didn't really start for me until I put someone else's interests ahead of my own and it's amazing to me that the more joy I create in his life the more I have in my own!
“Fix them. For their own sake. And I don’t mean sammiches.”

I’m trying,but they’re middle aged women-—not much I can do.
I have three sons who tend to balance things out.

Mo was his old man.
We can only do what we can. I wish you luck. I thank God every day my daughter broke right. not uber hard right, but moderately hard at least. Spending the last couple years in the belly of the beast convinced her what libs truly are.
I figured as much!
99% of women are not dependent on a man. Get real. Most women work and support themselves or earn as much money as their husbands. The stay at home woman is in the vast minority.
“I know you’re all having FUN talking about Sammiches and Shoes and Submission, BUT “
Well SOMEONE seems to not understand that whole ‘submission’ thing very well!
Kidding ;)
