Akin's remark was dripping with a lack of respect for women. That Romney would delegate his 'statement' about Akin's horrendous comment to a campaign aide speaks volumes about Romney's inability to understand the issues facing women, and his inability/unwillingness to even try to understand those issues.

Does he sees women as second-class to men? He thinks that 'men know best'. It is impossible to think that he could adequately represent 50% of his constituency if he were elected.
