'President Obama kicked off a new effort on Wednesday to highlight economic issues facing women, a key voting bloc whose turnout will be crucial to Democrats chances in the November mid-term elections.
...
The White House Council of Economic Advisers also released a report on Wednesday noting that, while women have made gains in the workforce and education attainment, a gender wage gap persists. On average, full-time, year-round female workers earn 77 cents for every dollar earned by their male counterparts, the report notes.

The gap continues even as women are more likely to be more educated than their male peers. In 2013, 25- to 34-year-old women were 21% more likely than men of the same age to be college graduates.'

He seems utterly oblivious to them, along with his party. And the other party does, too.

A donkey and an elephant. That's it. That's not a choice. It's a lot of dung, though.
