"In too many ways, our society tells women that they’re not as valuable as men. It’s in our media – where women comprise only 31% of protagonists. It’s in our textbooks – where men save the day, and women are barely mentioned. It’s in our leadership – where women still comprise only 24% of Congress, and of course, we have never had a female president."

"Jennifer Siebel Newsom is first partner of California, filmmaker of “Miss Representation” and “The Mask You Live In,” and founder of the Representation Project. Julie A. Su is the California labor secretary and served as co-chair of the California Pay Equity Task Force and as a member of the California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls."

AND
Equal Pay Day resolution passes Colorado Senate, but without vote of female Fort Collins senator
"She said she is more opposed to this resolution more than others brought forward in the past because 'I feel so much anger in this resolution but I'm not sure where it's directed.' 'I just can't take part in something that is so focused against a white man because frankly I feel white men have done a lot for this country and this legislature, as all men have,' Marble said. She said as a single mom, she felt gratitude for what she had despite 'living on hot dogs and macaroni and cheese, not exactly health food for children, but I'm not gonna say that we were food deprived. 'I don't feel cheated; I feel blessed.'"
