Ann Romney says all of this talk about a "war on women" is ridiculous. And she is a wealthy white over-privileged, woman so obviously she knows what she's talking about.

Courtesy of Politico:  

Ann Romney on Tuesday skewered Democrats’ claim that there’s a GOP “war on women,” calling the accusation “offensive” and saying it won’t work as a campaign tactic. 

“It’s ridiculous, honestly, I mean I don’t think they’re getting very far with that, by the way. It’s not going to work. I think women are a lot smarter than that, and that’s kind of offensive to me, to tell you the truth.” 

Well there you go then.

I mean clearly Ann Romney is a woman, she gave birth and everything, so if she says that nobody is waging a war against her then how can we really argue with that?

After all she has so much in common with the average woman in America. Right?

Such as the difficulty women face while raising a family and working outside the home, while making much less than her male couterparts.

No wait, I guess being incredibly wealthy and having the option of being a full time mom meant she really couldn't relate to that.

Well there is the difficulty of dealing with an unwanted pregnancy....no she's a Mormon who has been married to the same man since she was 19 years old so I guess she has never had to make that choice.

Okay well surely she has had to struggle for equality in a male dominated world. No wait she has lived her life simply as a wife and mother, and eagerly embraced the tradition roles for women, without really trying to develop any autonomy outside of the confines of her marriage.

So no, not really.

So yeah, perhaps Ann Romney is not the best person to decide if indeed there is a war on women, any more than Eva Braun was the best person to decide if Hitler was kinda mean to the Jews.

P.S. Oh I almost forgot, Ann is also hinting that Mitt might run in 2016.

Oh boy.
