Met any security moms lately? Every time that term is employed – the latest, favorite stereotype conjured by pollsters, pols and pundits – I try, based on media representations, to imagine just what a security mom looks like

Women, like all people, are ultimately responsible for their own safety.

As long as most of them would rather sit around watching reruns of "Sex in the City" instead of learning how to shoot a gun (or at least finding a guy who likes guns), they will never be "secure".

This "security mom" stuff is nothing less than yet another scam of political marketeers to get votes.

'This "security mom" stuff is nothing less than yet another scam of political marketeers to get votes.'

Yep, it is a great phrase for people to relate to, and also degrade the "soccermom" crap from the past. And it is working - there are millions of mothers out there who really don't care about anything else...

they should have several commercials by Karen Hughes and Laura Bush directed JUST to women and mothers about security and safety for their children.
