Maria Shriver book gives Obama new prop for ‘War on Women’

Article here. Excerpt:

'President Barack Obama has set aside time Tuesday to personally endorse a new feminist agenda backed by noted Democratic policy experts Beyoncé, Jada Pinkett Smith, LeBron James and Eva Longoria.

They’re listed as contributors to the 391-page apocalyptic-sounding report entitled “A Woman’s Nation Pushes Back from the Brink,” drafted by lead author Maria Shriver, a member of the Kennedy clan and ex-wife of former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Shriver’s progressive analysis and government-centered recommendations aren't nearly as important as the document’s ability for Democrats to boost women’s turnout in the 2014 election.

“The ‘War on Women’ is just about the only tool in the Democratic arsenal for 2014,” IWF director of cultural programs Charlotte Hays told TheDC, because the crash of Obamacare and Obama’s lousy economy has done so much damage to women, men and families.

The report calls for government to become a caregiver for women, by providing employer-paid leave for women, paid sick days for minimum-wage workers, uniform pay for men and women in similar jobs, and free child-care so that fatherless mothers can work minimum-wage jobs at $7.25 per hour instead of taking care of their children.

The report offers only a marginal role for men and boys, no support for marriage, and little or no role for the independent family that can birth and raise new Americans with minimal government participation.

The report begins by dismissing men; “In August 2012, my marriage ended suddenly after 25 years. It was a shock, but also a relief, because my husband had been angry for years. After he left, it was amazing how there was peace in our house again,” says the opening anecdote, which is followed by repeated demands that society be organized around the needs of women.

Later the report cites a survey of mothers and kids, but not fathers. it even recommends to female readers that they tip waitresses. It says nothing about tipping waiters.

Boys must be taught their place, Beyoncé insists. “We have to teach our boys the rules of equality and respect… and we have to teach our girls that they can reach as high as humanly possible,” says the very wealthy and successful female singer, who seems unaware that more women graduate from college than men.

“Women are more than 50 percent of the population and more than 50 percent of voters. We must demand that we all receive 100 percent of the opportunities,” says Beyoncé, who can sing better than 99.9999 percent of the population.'
