Women are very scared of the GOP. That's why 44% of women voted for Romney.
By the same logic, in 1984 America equated Walter Mondale with Freddy Krueger. Voting against someone != fright.
Women have good reason to be scared of the modern Republican Party.
1. There was a huge gender gap. Surely you recognize this. ~5% of blacks and ~20% of Hispanics voted for Romney too, that doesn't mean the demographics aren't still (rightfully) opposed to and scared of the Republican Party.
2. There were a bunch of Senate candidates saying awful things about rape, which might be symptomatic of something.
