...Got that? Mitt Romney didn't go out of his way to look for women. He didn't ask for anyone's help. He didn't say, "My goodness, where are the women?"
The women came to him. They told him he needed to hire more women. And you know what he did, right?
None of the senior positions Romney cared about -- budget, business development, etc. -- went to women.
Secondly, a UMass-Boston study found that the percentage of senior-level appointed positions held by women actually declined throughout the Romney administration[.]
Mitt Romney doesn't love women. He didn't go out of his way to hire them. He didn't give a good goddamn about filling his cabinet with women. And he still hasn't told us whether he supports equal pay for equal work.

(53,410 posts)Look at his wife. As has been said before by a woman much brighter than I am, she never worked a job a day in her life. Queen Ann is his total experience with women. He had nothing but sons so he can't ever relate to women other than Ann or his mother, and to what his religion teaches about women.
