Thanks Yuki, that was a good read. The author does show his bias a bit and took some cheap shots, but if the names and dates are accurate, that is cool info, esp. regarding Bush and co. in the 70s. I'm also interested in his take that the shift occurred before the religious right moved in on the GOP as I had thought that they were responsible for the war.

Yeah his stuff later in the article about the present isn't that interesting. I liked the historical bits though.
And I was also interested about it preceeding the moral majority stuff. I guess his basic point was the GOP hating on empowered women is just like the GOP hating on empowered minorities - it started off mainly as a calculated effort to appeal to white male voters.
