Italy elected Meloni(a woman who is a fascist) and France might elect Le Pen(a woman who is also fascist). The UK elected Thatcher and Turkey elected Ciller. Electing women is a meaningless metric. I bet all these countries are more sexist on average than the US. Trump is just a grifter, he has no ideology, other than narcissism.
Dont you understand that identity politics are being promoted as a distraction?
The head of the german extremist right-wing party is a lesbian with a Sri Lankan immigrant partner who lives part-time with their adopted children in Switzerland. Identity will always be secondary to wealth in a system like this, it's a one-way street.
While I totally agree, don't tell that to the feminists out there.
And just as sex is a meaningless metric so are other similar characteristics, and yet there are far too many who continue to push for affirmative action bullshit. Go for the best candidate - whether it is for political office or for a job as a waiter, doctor or engineer. So many are hung up on pushing less qualified candidates through simply because of their sex or the color of their skin.
