At a meeting with the “Moms For Mitt” group yesterday outside Philadelphia, PA, Ann Romney was asked her opinion on Lilly Ledbetter and equal pay for equal work regarding women’s employment. Without hesitation she responded with another question that seemed to shock even the most staunch conservatives in the room.
“Why should women be paid equal to men? Men have been in the working world a lot longer and deserve to be paid at a higher rate. Heck, I’m a working mom and I’m not paid a dime. I depend on my husband to provide for me and my family, as should most women… and if a woman does work, she should be happy just to be out there in the working world and quit complaining that she’s not making as much as her male counterparts. I mean really, all this wanting to be equal nonsense is going to be detrimental to the future of women everywhere. Who’s going to want to hire a woman, or for that matter, even marry a woman who thinks she is the same, if not better than a man at any job. It’s almost laughable. C’mon now ladies, are you with me on this?"

It's pseudo-intellectual drivel because you're pulling shit out of your ass and attempting to sound more intelligent than you actually are.
If you're going to troll, at least be interesting.
You just admitted earlier in your comment that women face oppression and obstacles that men don't, so the fact that condescending little monikers like, for instance, "cupcake" or "honey" or "sweetie" or whatever the hell can and do affect them differently. Most dudes don't get called ~cupcake~ or w/e in their everyday lives, and they sure don't get all the condescension and head patting that normally goes with it. The societal context is different, which you yourself just admitted so lol
A woman calling you "cupcake" might make you feel silly. A man calling a woman "cupcake" is enforcing centuries of sexism and oppression, reminding her that no matter how well-considered and articulate her argument, he still knows better. To be quite frank I don't give the smallest of flying fucks about whether or not being called "cupcake" hurts your feefees for a fraction of a second.
If you're feeling a bit small, go pick up anything with print on it and allow the centuries of privilege exploding out of every goddamned orifice to comfort you.
