'War on Women' Over: Women Won

Women aren't responding well to the oft-repeated liberal claim that conservatives are waging a 'war on women', according to Democratic pollster Celinda Lake, and Genevieve Wood cites these examples to explain why that may be:

• For every 100 higher ed degrees men got last year, women earned 140.
• The wage gap between men and women is now almost non-existent in apple-to-apple comparisons of males and females in similar jobs with similar education, experience, years in the work force and hours worked.
• Millennial women with no children who live in metro areas earned 8 percent more on average than men.
• Women control over 50% of private wealth in the US today and they make about 80% of all household spending decisions.
• Over 40% of the 3 million Americans making off $500,000 a year are women.

Lake says women find the term 'war on women' "divisive, political [and] they don't like it."  Wood suggests another reason: "more women now recognize that it's simply not true:"

In a recent Rasmussen poll, 52% of likely U.S. female voters said they believed the "war on women" slogan is primarily used for political purposes. And in Colorado, where one of the most closely watched Senate races is happening, a Magellan Strategies poll of female swing voters found 77% of respondents said they saw through the "war on women" messaging strategy.

Looks like the Left's "war on women" is over, and women won.
