One bad woman politician is a indictment against women politicians in general, one bad male politician is not because uh reasons?

You can scour the world and history and find great or terrible leaders from just about every walk of life. Gender or race --or whatever --should not be quintessential to someone's vote as opposed to an individual candidate's perspectives and philosophies. I mean, seriously, how narrow does someone have to be to be like "Well, he's a man he's better for the job" or "She's a woman she's going to fuck it up" or vice versa. Especially when you have an election with two shit candidates of opposite gender/race/etc. It's petty and pathetic. I'm not going to vote for a woman because of the myriad of dumbass male leaders we've had if she's got a set of fucked up morals and values, as well.

If there's a woman with a similar platform or maybe even a better one, why not vote for the woman? It'd be good to have more women in these positions.

More than 50% isn't 'most', imo... Still disappointing to see that it's the majority, though.

'Most' literally means 'the majority'

Shows what I know.
Might be a regional thing but I typically only hear people use it to refer to an overwhelming majority, but guess that doesn't mean much when the dictionary disagrees with it.

All this statement does is give me Tea Party flashbacks, like with Rosie "I'm not a witch" O'Donnell and Michelle "Crazy eyes" Bachmann, so yeah, being a woman is clearly not going to make anybody a better candidate, although that should have been obvious to everyone anyway. Some parity in gender is a positive thing, I think, as long as it's not enforced.

I'm disappointing. It is a shame that identity politics have become adopted by portions of the centre-to-left.
