158.3 million women in this country. Median earnings for women in this country is 77% of what men earn. It's not just about full employment, after all. It's about full employment for a working wage.

Women hear this all the time when it comes to employment and promotions. Yes, you were equally qualified but we went with the man. It's never enough to be equal. We always have to outperform that dude over there in order to get the same job for less pay.

You campaigned as a man who understood women's issues. This is one of our key issues right here. Setting aside Larry Summers' blatant sexism and ancient attitudes toward women, let's just break the rule about giving the edge to men and hire the woman for a change. Janet Yellen is second in command, surely understands the mandates and the issues and is also capable of actually seeing through a lens where women matter just as much.

Appointing Larry Summers is an incredibly tone-deaf thing to do. Put your appointments where your mouth is, Mr. President, and appoint Janet Yellen. It's past time for a highly qualified woman who is equal to the male candidate to actually get the job.

Be bold. Just do it.
