In reply to the discussion: What if Romney said "binders full of women's resumes"? [View all]Jennicut
(25,415 posts)"Romneys account of that story is false, according to two women who led an effort in 2002 to recruit female candidates to high-level appointed positions in Massachusetts. MassGAP, a bipartisan coalition of womens groups dedicated to increasing the number of women appointed to top government jobs, approached Romney and his Democratic challenger Shannon OBrien before the 2002 gubernatorial election and pressured them to sign a pledge to appoint more women if elected."

It was offensive to me as a woman because he did not take the question of women's equality in the workplace seriously. He talked about flex time to go home and make our husbands dinner and binders. Obama talked about equal pay for women. Romney is an idiot about women's issues but he is an idiot on every issue.
