you're all over the place here

how do you hope to establish pay and employment equity beyond enforcement through discrimination lawsuits when appropriate? how can we determine that discrimination is occurring simply on the basis of unexamined statistics? certainly, you can roll out quotas and affirmative action. is this what you want?

otherwise, you need some greater level of proof to establish that qualified women are being overlooked for appropriate positions. this is established through discrimination lawsuits themselves. this is the whole point of anti-discrimination law and the entire method through which could operate in this circumstance.

but after reconsidering your edits, it seems you are not actually in favor of addressing pay equity. if so, you are being inconsistent; you should be mad at romney for being unwilling to deny support of the issue.
