Is it bad that I do have a binder full of women... Characters?


Much ado about nothing.


There are so many, I can't pick just one.


What about martial women is he only for female casters?

Whether you are a Republican or a Democrat or a Revolutionary Socialist, we can all join together in ridiculing Bill Clinton's philandering ways. It could be the great uniter...

As long as they get out of the binder at a reasonable hour so they can go home to cook dinner for their family.

Ridiculing?

Because men can't cook and women in executive level positions need to do the cooking anyway.

I wonder if he also made sure to arrange for flexible hours for women in all the companies Bain took over or if these consideration are just for the elite. Poor women just have to make do.
That's a rhetorical question, btw. We all know he didn't. Though he may have made it easier for them to be home to cook by laying them off.


If they can manage the "binder time" between pregnancies and making sandwiches I'm ok with it.

Here is the transcript.

Spoiler:

"Well, these are the people that have the qualifications." And I said, "Well, gosh, can't we -- can't we find some -- some women that are also qualified?"

And -- and so we -- we took a concerted effort to go out and find women who had backgrounds that could be qualified to become members of our cabinet.

I went to a number of women's groups and said, "Can you help us find folks," and they brought us whole binders full of women.

I was proud of the fact that after I staffed my Cabinet and my senior staff, that the University of New York in Albany did a survey of all 50 states, and concluded that mine had more women in senior leadership positions than any other state in America.

Now one of the reasons I was able to get so many good women to be part of that team was because of our recruiting effort. But number two, because I recognized that if you're going to have women in the workforce that sometimes you need to be more flexible. My chief of staff, for instance, had two kids that were still in school.

She said, I can't be here until 7 or 8 o'clock at night. I need to be able to get home at 5 o'clock so 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.


The question was basically what are you going to do so women don't get paid so much less than men.

So to sum up, his staff couldn't find any "qualified" women.

So he went to women's group, and they sent him a bunch of women, some of whom he hired, but only after he was able accomodate them.

He is basically saying you have to go to great lengths to hire women, but by golly he did it. But I guess the implication was because you have to do that, that is why women get paid less.

It was amazingly patronizing. I would say it lost him the election, but I can't believe how many mind numbingly dumb things he has said so far that haven't stuck.


In addition to being amazingly patronizing, it's also a lie.

He didn't notice that his team hadn't found any qualified women and send them out to look for more. An organization of women's groups had gone out, before the election, and compiled those binders he mentioned to give to whoever won.


Common guys, this is gammer talk, not off topic. Keep the politics out and the gaming in.

My RPG binder only contains 1 female. I found the character uncomfortable, so I haven't really tried it again. My larp binder has a few, but don't care for it as it gets wierd for me in romantic situations. Even games that weren't designed for them sometimes have them. The wierdest was a guy I know who is friends with my parrents starts trying to pry information out of me through flirting. Niether of us could get arround the fact that he has known me since I was a kid.


Binders? Binding? Women - hey wait a minute, is this a fifty shades of grey thread?


I actually keep my character sheets for face to face gaming in a drawer not a binder.


Also, people should check out Amazon reviews on binders.


Indeed they are.

I deleted my previous post. Issue isn't worth a response.
