Summary

This quote highlights a stereotype that women talk too much, and provides a counter-argument by pointing out that men were responsible for inventing the filibuster. By mentioning Congress, it implies that men are not exempt from using excessive speech tactics to prolong or obstruct political debates. The quote challenges the notion that women are solely responsible for excessive talking, suggesting that gender is not the determining factor in discussions or debates.
