You are a fool. Even pro-life women were offended when right wing states started trying to vaginally wand any woman who wants an abortion.Um no, progressives think women vote with their vaginas, AND they think ALL women are somehow democrats.So...basically, the response of the right wing posse on this forum upon being informed a poll commissioned by their own team says women think they are behind the times is, "SO WHAT! WHO CARES? THEY VOTE WITH THEIR VAGINAS?"
Suicide cult.
There are issues which matter more to women than to men and you are a profound idiot if you think there aren't. And the GOP is stepping on a lot of women's toes on those issues. That's what this poll is telling you. But go ahead and plug your ears, fool.
40-45% of women seem to vote GOP anyway. Progressive women, like progressive men won't vote GOP anytime soon no matter what they change, so what's the point?
What is the point indeed?
For starters, here is a map showing Obama's margin with women.

For the idiots out there, notice 2 things.First the battle ground states.... Secondly the soon-to-be-battle ground state of Arizona. New Mexico is almost dependably blue at this point...will Arizona go that way? Looks like it.
Colorado with the marijuana reform laws is skewing blue. The weird politics of Nevada could go either way but as it becomes less rural and more urbanized...it skews blue as well. With CA, OR, and WA, when you add NM, NV, CO and possibly Arizona....you get another blue firewall as they have around the Great Lakes.
What does it matter, you ask?
States are currently winner-take-all with the exception of Nebraska and New Hampshire (note Obama's margin in NH too). So being happy with nearly breaking even is fine if you're ignorant of electoral math. In the real world, getting a plurality +1 delivers you 100% of the electoral vote.
What does it matter, you ask?
Which demographic is expanding and which one is contracting?

For the last 3 years, more women polled as being likely to vote than men. History happily reports that the GOP has lost 5 of the last 6 popular votes (a plurality in FL delivered 100% of the electoral votes to Bush in 2000).
What does it matter?
Women are, as a group, more sympathetic to the GLBT community. Another voting block you're likely to lose without even firing a shot to try to win it or keep whatever deranged lunatic gay republicans are out there....
Women are, as a group, more activist than males of their same age. As more women graduate college than men, certainly earnings will reflect that over time--despite your best efforts.

The activism will translate into campaign contributions as well.
Women are, as a group, less likely to see the world the same way the GOP sees it;
That the US must have a presence in every conflict worldwide
That the US must be "#1" (whatever that means) by a few narrow ratings and it's okay to be #30 in others.
That the US must be fight to maintain the status-quo worldwide.
Class dismissed.
There is lies, damn lies, and statistics. Obama's women advantage was in black women, and unmarried women. Considering it is 4 years later, and birth rates were declining, AND there will not be a black candidate (likely) to pump up voter amounts, that advantage is not what you think it is.
And as for your smarmy, class dismissed comment, go fuck yourself.
Hillary will get more of the women's vote than Obama ever dreamed of getting from all of the demographics you mentioned above (and others).
Somebody had to take you to school....consider yourself a passenger on the truth bus.
