Quote:
Ann Romney lives a sheltered and privileged life. She has little knowledge of what women want. Are most women only interested in the economy? The majority of posts here never once address the question. Are posted as if the question does not exist. The majority of posts here imply spin (what she did not say) is the truth.
Stated accurately is that Ann Romney did "Not worked a day in [his/her] life" ... professionally. She did not raise children while earning an income. She did not make compromises to pay the bills. She probably had many maids and cleaning women working for her. Which is fine. Except that does not make an expert on what a real world woman needs.

This is, roughly, what I wanted to say. Just because Ann Romney is a woman does not make her an appropriate representative for all the women of the US.
Imagine the dinner conversation.
"Hey, Honey"
"Yes, Mitt darling?"
"You're an American woman. What are American women most concerned about?"
"Well, taxes on billionaire families, for one thing, whether our husbands are going to be elected president for another, what kind of drapes to have in the White House, you know. How many nannies to hire, which private schools have the best religious classes, which kinds of underwear best prevent impure thoughts, that sort of thing..."
"Great, thanks, I'll get onto those issues. Women's vote, here I come!"
