"Binders" is slang for bras and/or girdles.
Bras are supposed to burned, not worn.
Girdles are the offspring of corsets, a torture device women were forced to wear so men would look at them favorably, and marry them, and make them their exclusive personal property.
That, perhaps, was a necessity of the times, though still inexcusable, because women were not allowed by society to be free and self sufficient.
(Panting to regain breath, though not composure.)
Thus "binders full of women" is Conservative male code for re-enslaving women: putting women back into bras, girdles, and kitchens, as the exclusive property of a man!
(Please imagine all-caps here; I have neither the heart nor stomach to actually do it. Also, by now, spittle should be running down the speaker's chin.)
Anybody with even an introductory course in Womyn's Studies or Radical Feminism would KNOW this instinctively!!!!! Conservatives are uneducated FOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. I’m a woman who grew up in the bra burning 60s and not one of these things crossed my mind. I haven’t read “50 Shades of Gray” (is that the right title?) and I even took a history of women course in college. It was actually just history. I must be incredibly naive, but I’ve tried to be a life long learner, and when someone says “binder” I think it means a trip to Office Max and which size? One inch, two inch, and God forbid I have to pay for the really big one. They aren’t cheap. I’d love to have my resume in a binder and being considered.
