Elizabeth Warren says she's been treated differently in the Senate but won't say how
Sen. Elizabeth Warren says she has been treated differently as a woman in Congress.
But unlike Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who opened up about her experience with sexism on Capitol Hill in a recent book, Warren — the first woman ever elected to the U.S. Senate from Massachusetts — won't elaborate.
In an interview with CNN scheduled to air Wednesday, Warren was asked whether she had experienced treatment similar to what Gillibrand described.
"Yes," Warren said.
Would she care to elaborate?
"Nope," she said. "I've said all I'm going to say."
<snip>
First off, she looks nuts in that picture.
Second, she (and her Democratic counterparts in DC) push female citizens to fight against treatment like this, at the risk of alienating their bosses and co-workers, etc. But Senator Warren doesn't want to name names? Doesn't want to provide specifics? Doesn't want to fight it?
What am I missing here?
