Kim Gandy on Summers

http://www.iht.com/articles/20.....php?page=2

Leaders of several women's groups said they warned Obama advisers that a 2005 furor over remarks that some interpreted as Summers questioning women's intelligence in math and science relative to men's, would be revived if he were nominated.  [....]
Yet Kim Gandy, president of the National Organization for Women, said her group’s research actually produced material that recommended him. “One good thing about Larry Summers,” she said, “is that he has written and spoken fairly extensively on the issue of women’s wage inequality and the impact that has on the country.”

Among the 5 direct quotes of Gandy was a question that she, herself, now should be required to answer before she can accept any job in our government:

“The women of Harvard– professors, students and alums–
merit more than a belated and defensive ‘I’m sorry,’” said
Gandy. “How can they trust that Summers is committed to
equality for women when he doesn’t seem to believe that
discrimination exists?”
