Over 60 percent of college degrees now go to women, yet the president pushes his phony and distracting “war on women,” an obvious vote ploy with the midterm elections coming up this year.

He pushes gender equity in pay, yet an example of blatant gender-based pay discrimination is the White House staff itself where men are paid considerably more than women: 88 cents on the dollar for women versus men.
