They say women talk too much. If you have worked in Congress

Summary

This quote addresses the stereotype that women talk excessively. The speaker challenges this idea by pointing out that the filibuster, a tactic used to prolong or block legislative action, was actually created by men. By highlighting this historical fact, the quote suggests that it is unfair and inaccurate to solely attribute excessive talking to women. It reflects the speaker's frustration with gender stereotypes and implies that men are equally capable of being verbose or obstructive in political contexts.
