About this Quote

Clare Boothe Luce's quote is an amusing method of explaining the irony of guys slamming females for talking too much. She is suggesting that males are the ones who really talk excessive, as evidenced by the innovation of the filibuster. The filibuster is a technique utilized in Congress to delay or avoid a vote on a bill by talking for an extended period of time. This quote is a creative method of highlighting the double requirement that exists between men and women when it pertains to talking. It is also a tip that men are just as capable of talking excessive as females, which it is not a trait special to one gender.
