Burden Of Female Politicians

This article has many great ideas and suggestions. In the end it points out that the problem is not the lack of women elected into office but that if there were more women to choose from we would have much better results for women in office. If there were more women to choose from then eventually women would start to equally represent the U.S. in office. It is also pointed out that this could possibly eliminate problems that women come across in the media and with people in general. Another good point made was that women do not always vote for women when it comes to elections. She struggled to win over young, progressive female voters because she seemed too compromised, too conservative in many respects compared to Barack Obama. This fact about Hillary Clinton is very interesting and is surprising to many people. “One of the strangest things about this moment, for which Clinton would pay dearly, was that when her victory was presumptive many American feminists did not cheer her on, but shrugged their shoulders, curled their lips in distaste, or simply kept their distance.” This quote shows that women were not behind Clinton really at all and she was not supported. I believe that this article makes a lot of great points and is effective due to the reliable information given but it could as things to make it be more appealing to the public. The targeted audience of this article could be women who are voting and putting people into office.
