“I was learning about journalism, and I was learning about politics. I discovered there was plenty of politics in journalism, dumping a story, a great story, to keep the Mayor happy. I heard Coach Michael’s voice in my head: ‘You can’t run and gun, girl.’ Mitch’s voice: ‘You can’t wear that bikini, girl.’ Even Janice’s voice: ‘You can’t tell anyone, ever.’ Can’t. Can’t. Can’t.

And then he drove me home.” PoliticsGenderThought ProvokingCompellingDominationLife StoryMalePolitical LeadersInformativeRevelatory Book:Penis Politics: A Memoir of Women, Men and Power Source: Penis Politics: A Memoir of Women, Men and Power
