The stats were considered valid enough to justify/defend/reinforce a commercial boycott on Limbaugh because of his comments about Sandra Fluke.

I can't find any sources which indicate that men make most of the buying and investing decisions.

This raises an interesting question. Is the power of money the ability to earn it or the ability to spend it?
