Put somewhat more concretely, the single, 35-year-old woman feels “judged†when I oppose gay marriage, because she intuitively senses that being pro-traditional marriage involves asserting male-female marriage as the norm—and therefore that her life isn’t on the right path. She resents this implication. Her problem, however, is that (statistically speaking) she wants to get married and feels vulnerable because she isn’t and vulnerable because she’s not confident she can. So (by my way of thinking) she needs a pro-marriage culture, but rejects it, or at least rejects the social and political defenses of it.

Of course, the difficulty today is in finding a source of “effective authority†that has currency in the public square. The GOP commentators want to avoid this problem. Some counsel side-stepping the moral issues. I don’t think this will work, because the deeper dynamic of modern liberalism is toward the public provision of meaning and security for atomized individuals otherwise vulnerable and uncertain about life.

This essayist describes a typical Democratic woman as a fearful, near-to-middle age spinster. She suffers "various kinds of personal unhappiness related to the lack of clear norms for how to live," wants to get married, but isn't confident she can.
And that's why she should switch to the GOP. They support traditional marriage (somehow this is all tied into the woman's support for gay marriage rights); and keeping gay folks from being able to get married will increase her chances of finding a husband. (and proceeding to the next step: having lots of babies because woman=mother, of course)

2016 is probably going to be an interesting year

I go one step further. I question the whole system of marriage laws. Why is it that because someone is able to find a partner, they can get married and get discounts on car, medical, house and life insurance? Why is that single person pays higher tax? I'd like to know on what basis were these discriminatory laws were written.

I think the law of marriage is unfair towards single CF people. I am not GOP and I am not a Dem - both parties have little use for single CF people. I support flat tax and I support equal treatment of ALL people.

WIth the Republican war on women accelerating in the last few years, I don't know why the much-publicized "gender gap" isn't 25 or 30 points instead of at most half that.

36 year old married female flaming liberal here.
The above list can be summed up in one point, that is, the one reason to vote Republican is because you are a sociopath, wholly unable to identify with or care about the needs and feelings of others.
Chris Hedges explains the Cult of Masculinity and why the need for binary thinking releases people from the obligation to make their own moral choices. He explains the psychology behind dominionism and why they are obsessed with apocalyptic violence, and why single women, gays, metrosexuals, and unbelievers threaten their identity.

...Women will rule the future. Men hate it, are trapped in the past. Driven by tribal urges to fight change, hold onto ancient symbols of power...
...Yes, history is changing, fast: There were only four women in my University of Virginia Law School graduating class. Now it would be half women. Same with other professions...
...More women gaining power positions across Corporate America...
...This cultural war reveals how men are their own worst enemy, sabotaging their future. Look beyond the so-called “war on women†rhetoric in the political arena where men fight to control women and women’s issues. Statistically they’re out of touch with most Americans. Fighting a losing battle...

Reno begins his piece with a richly-drawn portrait of a hypothetical female Democratic voter: She is a “single, 35-year-old McKinsey consultant living in suburban Chicago who thinks of herself as vulnerable and votes for enhanced social programs designed to protect against the dangers and uncertainties of life.â€

Yes indeed! Be the good subservient wife and helpmeet, just make sure you stay hott! The mind boggles... These silly bints wouldn't have had careers (such as they were) if not for the so-called display professions--i.e. Acting and modeling. So feminism isn't really necessary for them.Quote

*snort* I guess the bint doesn't understand the not-subtle dig she's giving to SAHMs? Yeah. Right. Ok Miss Bleach Blonde With Ugly Makeup, you go tell a SAHM that she's no longer sexy and see what she says.
Love the screen shot of the video. Nothing more than a bunch of Stepford Wives.
Funny that women like her, and the ossified Phyllis Schlafly, so vigorously promote a view that women can only be happy and productive by staying at home, pumping out babies and living cow-like lives, yet her "career" has obviously not followed that path.
According to a number of sources I checked:Quote

(and this part is pure snark)Quote

What IMDB lists makes for some strange math. One spouse is listed (Mark Murrell) to whom she has been married since 1996. Yet she has a 26-year-old son? She either discarded a spouse, or she didn't necessarily follow the conservative path when she was young that she now espouses.
And this quoteQuote
Ann-Marie became politically active in 2008. “Guess why?†she says.
Why? Well, I guess following up a failed acting career by attending the Ann Coulter School of NeoCon Baiting and Provocation seemed like a good choice.
Oh good lord. Check out one of the co-authors of her book
Morgan Brittany. 80s era soap actress.
In the About the Author section, she is described thuslyQuote

Yeah, those qualifications certainly make her an expert on directing women toward the right path.
