Darn! Now that everyone is ridiculing the idea of having a binder full of women as Myth Romney once did, I've decided to sell mine on Ebay to avoid embarrassment.

Actually the key element of that exchange was that in consideration of unequal pay, Myth could think only of women being considered for the executive suites. They are NEVER subject to the pay gap, as they've learned how to defend themselves. The unfair, discriminatory wages are paid in the parts of the building Myth and his posse never visit.

I grew up in the 1940s and '50s in a household headed by my mother and including my grandmother, who took care of me. When I was young my mother's career at our local school district was capped by her gender and no other reason. On several occasions when promotions were possible her candidacy fell short, because the men promoted over her by other men "had families to support." Even at age 10-12, I could appreciate the unfairness of that approach. All those men are dead; I don't miss them.
