Women Didnt Care About the Great Recession?What is it with the Romneys stereotypically backward view of women?
Via David Badash we learn of Mrs. Romneys recent appearance on The View. It set women back a few decades:

Economic help? Barbara Walters asks. Absolutely, Ann Romney responds.
.................
Maybe in Romneyland women didnt care about the economy in November of 2008, but the women I know, and the men too, were pretty freaking terrified about the entire economy plunging head first into an abyss. The concern wasnt exactly gender specific.

(165 posts)I was scared shitless in 08. Every week that fall a new group of people were getting let go at my place of work. You never knew walking in if you were going to be greeted with a security guard and a box to pack your stuff up. She needs to shut the hell up and go back to her dancing ponies.

Anyway - good to have you here. We need you, and our President needs you too.
Now get to work.

Why would women be less concerned than men about economy? Oh yeah. What does she know? She doesn't work. Queen Ann, go have a seat.
