It's actually reached the point that it should be called GOP Terrorism on Women.

I think you meant "least likely to vote before the Repubs went rabid on their ass."

From the article:
Romneys professional life was spent in the sausage fest of high finance and politics. That's true of lots of men, especially rich ones who enter politics. But Romney is also steeped in a religious culture in which gender roles historically have been rigidly segregated and in which men and women operate in distinctly different spheres. His role in the male-dominated Mormon church has gone far beyond spending some time in the pews every Sunday. Romney was groomed from an early age to assume responsibility as a leader in the LDS church.
Within the Mormon church, laymen (and only men) are vested with considerable power, unlike, say, the Catholic Church, which is also male dominated but which has professional clergy. Male lay members serve as the Mormon church's spiritual leaders. In that role, men like Romney are charged with counseling the faithful and laying down church law within their flocks, a job that has traditionally included trying to enforce the church's strict vision of gender roles.
Brooks notes that it's not unusual among Mormon men of his generation to have difficulties relating to women as equals in the professional world. She explains that they came of age at a time when the church openly opposed the women's movement, which presented a significant challenge to a church whose theological and cultural logic is organized around strongly defined gender roles. As a result, she says, Mormon men of that era sometimes seem to have the sense that "there is no proper way to engage with women as adult equals."

This is bunk...pure and simple.
A strong defined gender role does not exclude the idea of women in the workforce.
What a load.

It’s been more than 40 years since Philip Morris snookered women into smoking with their catchy “You’ve come a long way, baby” ad campaign, but today’s counterpart is surely the latest catchy slogan aimed at the female gender by another group of savvy male operators - the so-called “war on women.”
In an op-ed appearing in The Washington Times, author Mary Beth Hicks says women haven’t come too far if they’re still allowing themselves to be manipulated by tactics that make them feel good about themselves, even if the result is bad.
Hicks writes: “Just as Virginia Slims used savvy marketing tactics to foist an unhealthy addiction onto a generation of unsuspecting and gullible women and girls, the political left continues to manipulate women with strategies that make them think their ‘issues’ are being addressed and their interests are being protected.”
They’re not. Instead, they’re being served a healthy portion of high-fat baloney in the form of trumped up charges that anyone who opposes HHS mandated free birth control is somehow against women and trying to ban contraception. There is absolutely no evidence to back up this charge.

As near as I can tell, once the smoke cleared...Obama is losing ground here too.

Of course the way on women didn't work, only the shallow and 30 year old Harvard students would whine about having to pay for their own birth control..
Real women who have to WORK to take care of their families care about the REAL issues..
and the economy is the number one..
