I gave this the college try (as they say), but after 14 minutes, I had to wonder, why is this thought to be worth anyone’s time? It seemed to me, Lisa, that your commentary in those 14 minutes, with which I agreed, made clear the discussion wasn’t worth anyone’s time.

What we need now is practical action. This is why I admire so much the practical, on the ground, work of the LGB Courage Coalition, the Women’s Sports Policy Working Group, the coalition of groups WoLF is spearheading to lobby members of Congress on women’s rights and safe spaces this week, and the work of state and local groups like Ma4women, Women Are Real, ROAR Women NYC, and so many others out there in the trenches fighting for real change.
