Sexism is a male pocketbook issue. That's why more men vote Republican.

Sexism takes money from women and gives it to men. Men don't vote Republican only to politicize their domination fantasies. They vote Republican to keep their hands on more money.

Those weak-kneed, draft-dodging, characterless, ex-husband-material jerkwads? They go Republican every time. And Republican women just love their company I guess.

"I got your money, Honey." That's the true Republican message to women. Why do any women vote Republican?

Not paying people what they're worth hurts the nation as a whole

..was terrible. There were several threads on here about it this morning, and evidently Cher got pissed off too, and sent the show a message, or tweeted something about it..

that men do.

Although women, I think, are more concerned with the safety net for the elderly and sickly, so that's why there are fewer older women than older men who are Republican (I think that's the case, anyway).

I'm willing to bet that a majority of SMART men vote Democratic. I know that 90% of scientists with a preference are Democratic.

Vote repub... it's money, yes, but also fear of strong women and the absolute horror they would feel at being shown up by a "girl". I had a boss recently tell a group of young male new hires to never let a girl beat you at anything..cheat if you have to... He's a teabagger.
