National Organization for Women: "programs disproportionately employ and serve women". Should social programs serve men and women more equally? If conservative lawmakers are engaged in a "war on women", are liberal lawmakers similarly engaged in a "war on men"?

It depends on the subject, When it comes to healthcare there is no "War on Men" from any side because put simply our healthcare needs are invisable to lawmakers, we don't have a strong lobby for our interests. When it comes to other areas namely family courts and other legal Shenanigans, I'd say that while there isn't a War of Men by the part of either the Democrats and Republicans but instead the Feminist lobbyists who influence the policy of both parties.

NOW is just a female supremacist lobbying group.

Don't give them credence by pretending they care about actual debate.

Women have more state handouts. Conservatives want to get rid of state handouts therefore they are waging a 'war on women.'

But, at most, they're knocking women's handouts down to the level of men's.

I don't see how men are served by conservatives or liberals. They're just ignored.

Liberal and Conservative lawmakers are engaged in a "war on men"

There is a closed-mindedness shared by the left (“feminist”) and right (“law and order”) perspectives on the issue of domestic violence. Both views share a belief that the exercise of social control is the preferred response. Both share a commitment to the belief that criminal behavior (“battering”) is fully voluntary and strategic, independent of psychological or psychiatric mediation.

"We will oppose lawmakers in the 2012 elections who support slashing programs critical to the well-being of women and their families."

Unless you are a woman or in a woman's family I guess you don't need social programs.
