What Politics Looks Like When You Delete Men From The Photos
Elle UK recently published a video showing how few women are in powerful positions around the world. The video is part of Elle’s greater #MoreWomen campaign, and was produced by Alex Holder and Alyssa Boni from RSA films. To make the film, pictures of political gatherings were Photoshopped to remove all men, leaving eerily empty rooms with only a few women.
“The story of how women in positions of strength continually support and empower each other is consistently ignored while the myth that we pit ourselves against each other perpetuates,” reads the #MoreWomen campaign page on Elle. “We want to change this narrative in our feminism issue and create a more positive conversation – to reflect the power of women, and to support and grow each other as we push for global equality.”

I do to, but you have to understand the complexity of the issue. Someone should not be chosen to fill the "woman role" or the "token black" but we instinctual hire and mentor people more like ourselves. Its good to note the lack of diversity in any area. We need more men in elementary schools and nursing for example.

Political parties prefer to candidate men over women. You are welcome.

I'd rather we had #MoreCompetent people in power. Genitals are the least important ''skill'' when running a country. In fact, the only place where genitals make a difference is the bedroom. Can we please stop with that silly feminism thing now? Its embarrassing.
It would also be nice to stop with that silly sexism that has ruled the world until, well, today, as those pictures show.

There are 25 countries with woman at the helm seen here: http://jjmccullough.com/charts_rest_female-leaders.php From where the world was to now its a good step. stop causing arguments with these sexist posts
So it's not about the individual women or the positions they hold (Queen Elizabeth II of the UK, Hillary Clinton who will likely being the next POTUS) but rather, the important factor is a gender-centric representation based on raw numbers? That's a little, oh I dunno, sexist?
My, now there is an intelligent and well thought out comment.
