This week my I asked my interviewee two questions. First I asked how the laws would change if women made up 80% of politics beside men making up the 80%. She stated that she believes there would be less stigma against women about being able to be in a powerful political position. She also mentioned that those stigmas might be transfer to men since they were now the minority. Also, it could be possible that the shift from a majority male to female profession, that politics would then be considered a less respected profession. She mentioned that if women were the majority, less money would be spent on campaigning for elections. The I asked why more women were not in politics. She again referred to the stigmas placed on women stating that they cannot be in power. She stated that men in power was more of a "traditional" thing. For example, would you have a first man instead of a first lady, would she have to be married? The progression, or lack there of, in politics is also a historical trend. There was a black president before a women president, similar to how women did not get the right to vote until later.
