The truth is, ahem, bound to come out eventually. Nearly five years after then-Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney found himself in an internet quagmire for describing the "binders full of women" he used to staff his gover**r's cabinet, the Boston Globe has obtained two of said binders (https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2017/04/10/romney-binders-still-full-women-are-unearthed/NTdYraj1yQ53uVklgnHZtL/story.html).

Romney was answering a question about workplace inequality during a 2012 debate when he insisted that he had "binders full of women" who were assessed for positions in his Massachusetts state gover**rship. He was immediately and widely lampooned across the internet for the comment - introducing one of the first political memes into the internet lexicon (https://www.popsugar.com/love/Binders-Full-Women-Meme-25479226).

A former aide to Romney shared the physical binders with the Globe, which published the findings on April 11. As one might anticipate, the white three-ring binders are fairly **ndescript: they contain nearly 200 cover letters, rأ©sumأ©s, and handwritten **tes. According to the report, the binders weigh a total of 15 pounds and 6 ounces.

Some of the women whose applications were filed in the binders did actually find positions state and federally: Gina McCarthy was hired as former President Obama's Environmental Protection Agency administrator and Jane Tewksbury headed the Department of Youth Services under Gover**r Romney.

Sure, Romney's effort might have been a bit clunky and totally misguided, but we'd still take it over Donald Trump (https://www.popsugar.com/Donald-Trump)'s total disinterest in staffing a cabinet (https://www.popsugar.com/news/Who-Trump-Cabinet-42778315) in which men and women are equally represented.
