This entire discussion is weird. One’s qualifications to do public service are not determined by gender, race, or anything else. They are inclusive of one’s experience, set of skills, and desirability based on positions relevant to politics. It happens that culture does determine, to whatever degree, the roles of men versus women, and this changes the pools from which public servants will be chosen.
Frankly, I have witnessed quite a number of women, racial minorities, etc. who were eminently qualified to represent me in government. Just the same, there were quite a few who were disastrous. Shall we spare the sharing of names of those in elected office who are brain dead, or espouse policies that are totally destructive? There are men taking such positions whose morality and intellect are similarly deficient or absent. Same goes for races.
I fail to understand how a thread on this subject got so long, as to extend to a second page.
