I won’t get into why there aren’t more women in office except by saying that not enough women even try to run for office in the first place. I think this is something feminists do not want to admit.
However.
We DEFINITELY need more women in public office. They are just as capable of handling the job as men. And more importantly, they - on average - have personality traits that men often lack on average.
1) They are more willing to comprise across the aisle. Women in Committee in congress have demonstrated this ability over men.
2) They also are more empathetic both on an emotional level and a cognitive level. They are more willing to be sympathetic to the plight of the poor and shrinking middle class. Moreover, they have the fairness of mind to consider an opposing perspective which in turn contributes to their ability to compromise.
3) They don’t have the egos men often have.
Think about it this way, look what women do involved in the Porn industry and prostitution. Seems to me there ain't a whole lot of difference between men and women. What you are arguing is a matter of it's harder to rape a man.
Bottom line, using gender or race for a criteria for an elected of elected officials is wrong, we need better PEOPLE in office.
4) Oh, and for the most part, they aren’t sex perverts.
Again, I stress, these observations are ON AVERAGE. Obviously a lot of men have these attributes just as a lot of women lack them.
You apparently do not work where women are bosses.
1. they are not more willing to compromise that is shear BS, they are no different then a lot of men in that regard.
2. Business, life and government is not a place for emotions. Emotions are about the most subjective trait there is to base judgement. I can see a woman standing up to Putin and crying.
3. You got to be kidding their egos are just as large, maybe larger.
4. Sex pervert is not a trait for a leader, and who knows how many men are harassed they just don't say anything? Look at how many teachers molest their students, it is almost always women.
That all said, there is no reason more women can not be in public office. But what we want in public office are good representatives and being woman, being a man, being black or any other trait that divides us is not one of the criteria for being a good representative.
