Huge numbers of women across American really want the option of staying home with their families, not “free birth control and free feminine hygiene products,” according to a famous PolitiChick and co-author of the new book,"What Women Really Want."
"We’ve been told repeatedly that the feminists speak for women," Dr. Gina Loudon told Lou Dobbs on his Fox show recently. “Interestingly, only about 20 percent of women even consider themselves feminists.”
Loudon joined forces with original PolitiChick Ann-Marie Murrell and actress Morgan Brittany in creating the project, which is described as a clarion call for conservative women across America to reclaim the power of the grassroots activist by fundamentally transforming their lives and working in bold ways.
They write about how women can be warriors without burning bras, they can be strong without emasculating their husbands and sons, they can be mothers without coddling or compromise, and they can live out their faith without compromising their convictions.
Dobbs pointed out that the Democrat Party has been known as the party for women, and Loudon responded that that’s how the issue has been portrayed by media.
However, she noted that, according to Forbes, “90 percent of working women … say they would really like the option to stay home, that staying home has always been a goal of theirs.”
That, she pointed out, “is not what we hear from the media.”
”We’ve been sold a pretty big pack of lies,” she said.
She explained that what women, and families, really need and want is the option of choice, the choice for a woman to stay home, the economic freedom to do that, the national security to be confident in her family’s future.
What the GOP needs to do, she said, is come up with “some strong leadership … to restore those economic freedoms. If you want to you can survive on one income [for a family].”
Just like what was going on in America “before all this empowerment,” she said.

Dobbs asked specifically about reproductive rights, and Loudon said there’s more to choice than what’s generally understood.
”We talk about how choice really is freedom which really is money. If you put those three things together they are hard to distinguish because each gives you the other,” she said.
”Those kinds of things mattered a lot more to them, Lou, than free birth control and free feminine hygiene products,” she quipped.
She also called on the GOP to respond to Democrat claims about women and women’s rights, because they are concerned in ways many politicians may not understand.
Regarding job security and national security, she said, “Open borders is something that undermines both of those things and that is something that really matters to women.”
She brought up a decision that the American government made with Mexico. America would protect all Mexican workers, whether were legal or illegal.
”Wait just one minute, what about American workers?” she inquired. “This is what really is on the minds and hearts of American women right now.”
Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin listened to one of the interviews about the new book, and quipped. “I get goosebumps listening to you.”
”PolitiChicks started as the germ of an idea that grew and then exploded in popularity,” said Brittany, who starred as one of the lead characters in the iconic Dallas television show. “We all know deep down in the depths of our souls that if we don’t stand up right now, our children and grandchildren will be living in a country that we won’t even recognize. I barely recognize it now, and every day I feel as though I am running faster and faster just trying to keep up with the stones and arrows coming at my country.”
“I, like Ann-Marie and Dr. Gina, have been heckled at tea party rallies, threatened on social media sites, and written about in the vilest ways. Sure, it hurts at first, but then you start to just tune the haters out and go on with your mission. As an actress, I can’t even begin to tell you how many rotten reviews I have gotten in my day! Had I paid any real attention to them, I would have just packed up and gone home,” Brittany said.
“’What Women Really Want’ is a passionate plea against feminism,” says bestselling author Glenn Beck.
Murrell was named one of America’s hottest conservative women in new media by Right Wing News. She is the lead anchor and national director and editor-in-chief of PolitiChicks.tv and her work has been carried by dozens of news outlets across America.
Loudon is the host of Smart Life with Dr. Gina on Money Business Life Network. She is a frequent commentator on Fox News and Fox Business channels.
