Meee toooo!

good response. I had a state senator once reminisce about the good ole days.

Some of the old heads think having sessions recorded ruined bipartisan relationships. Apparently they bonded over inappropriate and off-topic banter...

I worked in local politics for 4 years, and got out because it was too much of a boys club. It's not that I couldn't do my job, it's that it wore on me so much that it was no longer a job I enjoyed doing. (It also didn't help that I am young and everyone else was 50+)

What's it going to take to make politics more female-friendly: thick-skinned ladies who are really that passionate for politics, old men/old logic finally dying, overt gender policies, male champions of the cause (those handing out appointment letters based on diversity do not count)?

What are your thoughts?

Having worked in local politics, I can say yes. Maybe not on the national level, but definitely on the local level.
