I didn’t spring this on them or anything. I sent everyone my questions ahead of time, so they knew it was coming. But I felt like how they answered was really cool. Each of them kind of sat with it and seemed to speak genuinely about how he didn’t think he’d do that, but, if he did, he’d want to know.

But what I liked about how they answered is that they kind of let their discomfort and uncertainty just be a part of the discussion. They didn’t, I didn’t think, get defensive or claim all haughtily that it wasn’t a problem. They just let the gap stand open. I don’t know. I just felt like I was seeing something really honest there, and something that acknowledged the problem without getting bogged down by it.

We talked a little bit about the numbers, how few elected women there are, only 9 on the city council, for instance, and I asked them how many women reported on politics for their outlets.
