I'll so far as to say the period Romney claims is a war on women occurred because women were replaced by men now in the marketplace. That validates the fact women are still struggling to achieve status in the USA marketplace. If women were unemployed in greater numbers than men at any point in USA history, it is because men were available and preferred over women as employees. And the Republicans only make that worse by removing choices in birth control to women. It is easy for Romney to 'pick and choose' facts to suit attacks on opponents, but, it is difficult for him to run on 'his entire picture' of polices and history in government.
...Gary Steinberg, (click title to entry - thank you) a spokesman for the Bureau of Labor Statistics, told Politifact in an email that "between January 2009 and March 2012 men lost 57,000 jobs, while women lost 683,000 jobs. This is the reverse of the recession period of December 2007-June 2009 (with an overlap of six months) which saw men lose 5,355,000 jobs and women lose 2,124,000 jobs."
If the Romney campaign had begun its calculation in 2007, Politifact noted, women would have accounted for less than 40% of the total jobs lost....
