Any woman, or man for that matter, should be puzzled and/or offended by Romney's answer to this question:

QUESTION: In what new ways to you intend to rectify the inequalities in the workplace, specifically regarding females making only 72 percent of what their male counterparts earn?

ROMNEY: I'm going to help women in America get good work by getting a stronger economy and by supporting women in the workforce.

...get home at 5 o'clock so (they)I can be there for making dinner for my kids and being with them when they get home from school. So we said fine. Let's have a flexible schedule so you can have hours that work for you.

Mittens doesn't get it that he was talking about GOVERNMENT workers - the few jobs that are 8-5 - bet not all employers would be sooo flexible.
