Labit: women in Politics

I asked my interviewee why he thought there weren't more women in politics. His opinion was that it is the median portrayal of women to their detriment as well as the old-boys club involved in running for any position of power that really hold women back in the government field. The amount of money it takes to get your name on the ballot in a meaningful way also puts women at a disadvantage. The established old boys club gives money to they people hey already know and trust: these people are men. While it may never happen, maybe the best thing to do to level the playing field is to not watch TV. My interviewee said this in jest. He did say the public has to tell the media we are tired of their insistent negative portrayal of women in power was said seriously.
