So empowering women is anti-woman. Interesting.

If you give a woman a safety net to get herself and her children out of a bad situation, that's anti-woman. But if you keep her there, with her family intact, in an abusive situation or with a poor male role model for her children, that's woman positive.

If you break down the barriers that keep women from education and from historically male-dominated professions, that's anti-woman, because those barriers are what keep women women. Apparently I read this part of the article wrong.

And if the government forces companies to hire more than their share of women, due to some arbitrary quota, it's anti-woman because... I don't know, they didn't explain this one. Odd, since I'm not in favor of such quotas, and I still can't figure out how this is part of the war on women.

Forcing insurance companies to withhold coverage of drugs that can, for example, prevent ovarian cysts or endometriosis, (on the grounds that such drugs are also contraceptives,) this is not anti-woman?

I'm sorry, I don't see a single thing in here that points to the Left engaging in a war on women. I see the usual complaints about things that conservative hate, and there's no need to argue about that, but the premise of this article doesn't hold water.

This sounds like typical new-order republican doublespeak.
