Quote 14 Jan 1,370 notes
As a female legislator, I often speak to groups of women — from Girl Scouts and graduates to fellow female attorneys and aspiring politicians. I share my personal experiences and discuss the myriad of challenges females face in elected office. But I rarely convey how much chauvinism and sexism still go on in politics today because, quite frankly, I am embarrassed by it. I do not have the heart to tell a classroom full of girls that the same attitudes and animosity they encounter on the playground persist to our highest levels of government.
— Michigan State Senator Gretchen Whitmer says sexism is rampant at the State Capitol | Michigan Radio (via mimitakestheleftturn)
