I think there is a lot of truth in this article, and I like it because it’s coming from a perspective that people don’t usually take. I think that women are becoming more represented in politics than they were, but we could definitely be doing better. She said in her article that family roles don’t take any effect on women’s decision to run for president, but the perception that a woman can’t take the role still exists. The biggest reason women don’t run in politics is that they are less likely to be encouraged to run or chosen for a position when a position opens up. The electoral gatekeepers are typically surrounded by male-dominated industries. It isn’t that there is a bias against women, they just aren’t prevalent in the pool of candidates.
