Quote by Dee Dee Myers

As long as the G.O.P., led by its increasingly visible women, continues to insist that the problem is not their policies but women's failure to understand their own lives and interests, the gender gap won't go away.

As long as the G.O.P., led by its increasingly visible women

Summary

This quote emphasizes that the gender gap within politics remains persistent because the Republican Party (G.O.P.) fails to acknowledge their policies as the root cause. The quote specifically mentions the importance of women leaders within the G.O.P. but suggests that they, too, perpetuate the notion that women do not comprehend their own lives and interests. By dismissing women's concerns and experiences, the party contributes to the continued existence of the gender gap in politics. In order to address this gap, a shift in acknowledging and addressing women's perspectives within policy-making is necessary.

Too many photographers try too hard. They try to lift photography into the realm of Art, because they have an inferiority complex about their Craft. You and I would see more interesting photography if they would stop worrying, and instead, apply horse-sense to the problem of recording the look and feel of their own era.

How could he convey to someone who'd never even met her the way she always smelled like rain, or how his stomach knotted up every time he saw her shake loose her hair from its braid? How could he describe how it felt when she finished his sentences, turnec the mug they were sharing so that her mouth landed where his had been? How did he explain the way they could be in a locker room, or underwater, or in the piney woods of Maine, bus as long as Em was with him, he was at home?
