Binders full of women with mighty pens: What is metonymy. December 14, 2013. Listen to this Post. Metonymy in the wild. Things were not going well for Mitt Romney in early autumn of last year. And then he responded to a query about gender equality with this sentence:. 8220;I had the chance to pull together a cabinet, and all the applicants seemed to be men I went to a number of women’s groups and said, ‘Can you help us find folks?
