I’m just going to stomp this point into the ground a bit. Romney, when you’re asked about pay disparity, talk about pay disparity. Don’t talk about how your people couldn’t find any qualified women to fill your Cabinet to begin with so you really made an extra effort to find some. That makes it sound like you went out and had to scrape the barrel for barely passable dregs to fill those positions.

For God’s sake don’t characterize flexible scheduling as the most important thing to women, because it isn’t. They don’t want to be viewed as needing more time off than men because that characterizes them as unreliable and undependable. They aren’t.

What women want is equality, equal pay, equal opportunity, equal scheduling policies, the exact same shit their male counterparts get. You don’t need some special kind of insight into the female brain to understand this, because what I’m talking about is basic Golden Rule shit.
