From the Sun Herald newspaper, in an article about committee assignments for the new legislative year:
"Sen. Debbie Dawkins, D-Pass Christian, said despite her seniority, and asking every term to be placed on the Transportation committee, she was left off again - as were other women.
"No chicks whatsoever," Dawkins said. "I guess we just cannot understand asphalt and concrete and no-bid contracts. The estrogen must just block something so that we can't comprehend all that stuff like all the boys. I could stop taking the estrogen - then everybody'd be sorry.""
Sen. Dawkins speaks truth against the powers. Amen.

I guess it gets in the way of a lot of things, huh?
Glad she told it!
Unbelievable. Oh wait, what am I thinking? All too believable. Sad. I'm glad to see she uses her voice courageously to draw attention to this inequality.
I like her--she reminds me of you.
Go, Senator!
Time to rally!! Let's go burn some foundation garments.

Argh.
