Sen. Elizabeth Warren told CNN she has been treated differently as a woman in the clubby upper chamber — echoing the general sentiments of her colleague Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand , who wrote about sexism in the Senate in a recent book . During a wide-ranging interview on the Colorado campaign trail—where she was stumping for endangered incumbent Sen. Mark Udall—CNN asked Warren whether she had experienced any different treatment as a woman . `` Yes , '' she said . Would she elaborate ? `` Nope . '' But was it surprising ? `` Not really , I wish it were , '' she told CNN . `` But it 's hard to change these big , male dominated institutions . What I am very happy about is that there are now enough women in the United States Senate to bring change to that place and I think that 's just powerfully important . '' There are now 20 women in the senate . Opinion : This is Elizabeth Warren 's moment . Warren added : `` You know , others have said it before me . If you do n't have a seat at the table , you 're probably on the menu . '' Warren 's comments did make one clear case : women will be treated as equals when there continue to be more women in the Senate . Warren did n't want to talk specifics , or how the different treatment manifested itself . `` I 've said all I am going to say , '' ending that part of the conversation . In the book , Gillibrand recounted specific details of unnamed male senators remarking about her appearance—even squeezing her waist . The rest of the interview was about Warren 's role as one of the Democratic Party 's most sought after surrogates this election year . Our story , airing today on the Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer , looks at Warren as the unusal Washington phenom—a combination of loyal Democratic soldier and outside agitator , a party star who is willing to take on her own party—including the president . And will she take on Hillary Clinton ? Watch the full piece .
