"Gender" gap is really among men and hurting Obama

[renard_ruse]

Despite the feminist mainstream media's incessant talk about a female "gender" [ie sex] gap hurting Romney, according to this article, the sex gap is actually among men and is hurting Obama:

...Despite the great attention paid to the importance of the women's vote in the 2012 election, there has been a larger change in men's than in women's preferences compared with 2008. Barack Obama's support is down seven percentage points among men versus three points among women. In Gallup's latest 21-day rolling average of likely voter preferences, based on interviewing conducted Oct. 1-21, Romney leads Obama by 14 points among men, whereas Obama and John McCain were tied among men in Gallup's final pre-election estimate in 2008. Obama currently leads Romney by eight percentage points among women, whereas he led McCain by 14 among women in 2008...

However, I have some serious questions about certain points raised in the article, in particular:

...The same swing-state survey asked American women to name most important women's issues in this election, and the results showed "abortion" and "equal rights" to be in the top five, along with jobs, healthcare, and the economy. These results give some indication of why Obama has been able to hold on, proportionately, to the women's vote. Recent national polling among registered voters indicates that Obama is given the clear edge, 53% to 37%, on government policies relating to birth control, and polling in late September shows that he led Romney on "social issues such as gay marriage and abortion" by 26 points...

First off, virtually all polls for many years have shown little to no difference in male and female opinion on the "abortion" issue, some polls shown no sex gap and others shown at most a relatively slight one, often just beyond the margin of error. So, now suddenly, this is what is making these women swing to Obama? Not buying it, sorry.

As for the idea that Obama's radical views on values issues are trouncing Romney by 26 points, I call complete BS. If the public is so "socially" liberal, why do pro-marriage initiatives ALWAYS pass when they are on the ballot even in liberal states like California? Why is there growing numbers of both sexes who define themselves as pro-life in polls over the past few years?

As for the so-called "birth control" debate, there isn't one. Neither candidate nor party nor frankly anyone, even the Catholic Church, is advocating any ban on contraception. Its a non-debate. What is a debate is the religious liberty of a private religious institution to operate under its own moral code.

Finally, the media has long claimed there is a connection between church attendance and socially conservative views. If that is true, why would women be more socially liberal when they attend church at significantly higher rates than men (the big secret the anti-religion feminists don't want you to know about, but look it up, there is an overwhelming "gender" gap in church attendance with more women attending and active in their churches).

The data is misleading. They use "Gender" to refer to women vs. men (they use it like the person's sex). But the Libs believe Gender is not sex, it's the role of a person in society.

for example, a sissy man would have a make sex, but a female gender. A butch dyke would have a female sex, but a male gender.

The data is invalid because butch dykes and sissy men are under represented.

 

[renard_ruse]

Correct. Gender actually refers to whether a word is masculine or feminine in languages such as Spanish, French, or German. Nothing to do with biological sex.
