Sally Quinn and Deborah Tannen Reveal Plan to Destroy Women's Progress

It was a real meeting of the minds, apparently: yesterday, professional opinion-havers Sally Quinn and Deborah Tannen “met for a morning summit at Georgetown waterfront restaurant Sequoia to discuss the state of women.” You simply must read this whole thing. It will make you feel terrible, these 20 notable quotables from their conversation. It is like a guide to the retrograde. They may be in the Taliban. Here, sample just one, from Ms. Quinn! “At the beginning of the feminist movement, it was women taking power back and it was really heady stuff… then it got out of control, as all revolutions do. They got militant… there was a period there where it was embarrassing to get pregnant.” Oh and also Ms. Tannen decides that Sarah Palin’s “femininity contributes to why many people don’t take her seriously.” Oh yes, that’s it: nail on the head, sister. (This makes me want to take some nails through the head.)
