4. No, I didn't mean to say that the women in my family never had jobs... I'm talking generations ...

and, it is true that more women entered the work force when raising families, which is not the experience many boomer's mothers had.

My mother would have loved to continue working, but when she married my dad, she (this is that generational thing) stopped working, which probably kept us from having more material things.

The point (again) I've tried to make with this OP is that we as Democrats are beginning to get caught up in the subject of Ann Romney and de-focusing on the real issue relative to this presidential election - which IS THE WAR ON WOMEN.

You haven't said anything about that.
