OK, he didn’t quite put it that way. According to Think Progress
On Feb. 23, Public Policy Polling released findings showing that only 37 percent of women hold a favorable opinion of the hate radio host, compared to 56 percent of men.
As Jill Zimon notes, Limbaugh brought up this poll yesterday on his radio show, noting that it was one of the largest gender gaps Public Policy Polling has seen on any issue it has polled in the past year. His solution? To convene a summit of women to find out why they dislike him:
Wow! You’d think he was running for office or something!
I mean, the notion that Limbaugh is clueless why women hate him is a laugh to be sure. The more serious aspect: he plans to listen to women’s opinions?
They can be liberal, conservative. They could be non-audience members, could be audience members. But I want some of these women to start telling me what it is I must do to close the gender gap — or, if not what it is I must do to close the gender gap, what it is I’ve done that has caused the gender gap; assuming the gender gap is true and that the poll is true.
OK, this is Rush Limbaugh 
so I am not exactly impressed, neither convinced that this is anything else but a publicity stunt. Still, the point remains that he found it necessary to even pretend he cares.
Wow! Who knows, maybe now, soon, even politicians running for office might pretend to care what the majority of the voters think
Update
Just figured out a possible reason in Rush’s sudden interest in women’s opinion:
it has to do with the future GOP candidate, as Stray Dog explained: Jindal down, Palin up.
Limbaugh has put all his money on Jindal, but maybe wants to hedge his bets now. Or at least appear to have done so.

Let’s not get carried away, now. 😉
Rush is obviously testing the waters for a run for POTUS since Obama declared him head of the Republican party (which in and of itself is reason for women to hate him).
“Oops. Forgot about all those pesky wimins I’ve been insulting for decades… Guess I need to do something about that. Hey, I know! Women like Focus Groups. We’ll pretend we care about them, then they’ll just go back to popping out babies and vote for me like their Baby Daddies tell them to”

We Must Divest From Misogyny….
The only thing that pains them is the sound of money disappearing…

I was listening yesterday–i tune in once in a while for a bit. can’t take to much of him. but i stayed tuned when he announced that during the last hour women could call in.
I hooted out loud as he tried to defend himself (he was not listening). One woman was telling him her toughts and he interrupted and she said “and you always interrupt callers” paraphrasing.
what a hoot.

I wrote up details and highlights from Day One here.
I am convinced that he still could not care less about women and it’s a stunt – BUT – he wants his stable of politicians to get elected and he can’t get that done without women – as listeners who can be influenced by him and then vote a certain way. (I wrote about this here.)
He says it takes at least six weeks of listening to him every day to “get the gist” of him.
I’m sure I have some better things to do with 90 hours.

Thanks for the detailed effort you put into this – it couldn’t have been pleasant! I agree that 90 hours won’t be needed by us to get the “gist” of Rush.

I want some of these women to start telling me what it is I must do
I suppose suggesting “eat sh*t and die” would be considered a bit too rude.
I don’t know which is worse – if he sincerely believes the hate he spews, or if he just doesn’t care who get hurts as long as makes a buck. Either way, what a vile excuse for a human being.

Sounds like a typical Rush stunt. Just take him for what he is, an infotainer who gets paid handsomely for making people love to hate him!
Like Howard Stern, who should be hated more by women ! (Read Private Parts)
I guess I get their schtick…lol…and I’m a pretty confident woman. On the other hand, I think Olbermann and Matthews are more damaging because they want us to take them seriously.
