This week in class we discussed the issue about gender in politics. We were asked to interview and ask them one of the 3 questions on the board. I asked the following question to my interviewee. "Why do you think there aren't more women in politics?" My interviewee said that since the majority of men have been and are in politics they sort of rule that are. She said they are like watchdogs and guard their territory, not only from women but from women especially. She said that it is difficult for women to be in politics because they are judge in any way. For example people wasn't their people in politics to be masculine, but when a women is masculine they judge her for not being feminine enough, and if she shows any kind of feminine characteristics she is seen as weak.
