QotD
Gloria Feldt (of Women's Media Center):
"[...] women's physical appearance and their
sexuality is so often the first thing that you hear about, before
you hear about what they believe about issues, or how they have
voted on important legislation. [...] These kinds of sexist
activities [...] often people don't even realize what they're
doing.
"We heard about Hillary's ankles, her
turquoise pantsuit, we heard about her hair, we heard about her
cleavage, but how much did we hear about what she really thought
about the issues? That's the thing. [...]"
Molly Paige (co-host on America's Radio
News):
"That's true, you really never hear
about Mitt Romney's ankles."

I saw @SandraFluke's retweet of
@FemMajority's tweet that pointed to a
WMC post (with an even more abridged quote) that in turn
linked to the audio clip.
