Well, that's a bunch of crap.

Admittedly, men have taken a harder hit in the recession, but the female poverty rate is remains significantly higher than the male poverty rate.

The timing of the report’s release is extremely suspect, echoed Amy Siskind, president and founder of the feminist advocacy group The New Agenda.

“The Democrats are trying to go after voters that are traditionally loyal to the party,” Siskind said. “What has happened under this president and this administration is that women sort of feel like their issues have not been addressed, economic or otherwise with this president.”

WTF, the bail outs focused mainly on women and they still want to play the victim.

“Certainly women small business owners don’t appreciate the upcoming tax hike, senior women don’t appreciate the Medicare rationing which ObamaCare entails, and mothers don’t appreciate the avalanche of debt being loaded on to the backs of their kids,” Rubin said. “Perhaps that is why so many conservative women are running for office and why so many Tea Party leaders are women.”

Whether the policies have helped or hurt women, the bottom line, according to Perry, is that men have been neglected and are facing a much tougher economic landscape.

“There has probably never been any previous recession in U.S. history that has caused such a disproportionate economic hardship on one gender as the Great Mancession of 2008-2009, and its disproportionate adverse effects on men,” he said. “For the administration to release such a one-sided, biased report emphasizing the need for economic security for only women, who fared so much better than men during the Great Mancession than men, seems extremely misguided.”

In that vein, Rubin concluded that there remains an important question to be answered. “The statistics on unemployment tip toe around a key fact: men have been laid off in far great numbers than women in the recession. So perhaps the question is: What is Obama doing for men?”

I don't have the link, but there was an article here about this issue around a week ago. It basically described how NOW and other feminist organizations lobbied (like any other special interest group) for massive amounts of money only for women and got it.
