Security moms don’t exist! Ellie Smeal just e-mailed her troops:
Although the media is talking about “security moms,” don’t be fooled. “Security moms,” like its predecessor “soccer moms,” is just spin that deemphasizes the gender gap. Everywhere the term appears in the media, there is only anecdotal evidence, not data, backing it up.
We have Googled and researched the term “security moms” and found it is currently being pushed by right-wing pollsters and commentators. These latest efforts began in July, although it first appeared as early as 2002.
