| Romney's answer to social welfare questions seems to be "I may be against helping folks by the thousands, but if you introduce me to one, I'll be real nice to her." |

| What I did NOT like about his answer is that it contained absolutely no policy element. But personally I am consciously trading money for flexibility and fewer hrs. I would resist a raise if it mean less flexibilty/more hrs. So the "less pay" issue is just not the problem for me that limited flexibility options are. I think Mitt touched on an important issue of concern to lots of women, but he didn't handle the shift in focus well. |

| Ok, but that doesn't address equal pay for EQUAL work. The point is, if you are working fewer hours and have less responsiblity, it is not EQUAL work. |

| Flexible hours is not an alternative to equal pay. Many women don't want/need flexible hours. My wife does not want to be mommy tracked. She wants to excel just like the top performing men in her company, and she wants to be rewarded for it. |

Romney's point was that he wanted women in his administration and he granted a family-flexible request from one woman to help make that happen. The bastard! |

He didn't answer the question which was whether he supported equal pay for women. His VP candidate voted against the lilly ledbetter fair pay act. What is his position?? And his tangent story about asking where da women at has been debunked as another lie. http://blog.thephoenix.com/BLOGS/talkingpolitics/archive/2012/10/16/mind-the-binder.aspx |

He did say that he's going to create sooooo many jobs that companies are going to be desperate for workers. They'll even hire women.

Flexibility is not a replacement for equal pay. If myorganization pay me $120K and a male employee $150K, flexibility or not I still do the same work at a different time. That is not fair practice. If they pay me $120K for 6hrs/day hours and pay male employee at the similar role $150K for regular 8hrs/day schedule, that would be fine. However, assuming flexibility a requirement for women only is sexist. I know many men who too want flexibility. The other offesive thing that Romney said was he would make the economy so much better that employee will hire women. |

Did he brag about giving his wife the night off from cooking, too? |
