Although woman have come leaps and bounds in terms of rights and positions of power in recent years, they still have a long way to go in terms of sexism in society and social attitudes. Lots of people seem to be complaining that it shouldn’t matter that they’re woman and it should be based on they’re politics and beliefs, and that is correct. But you also need to consider this is the first time and still the ONLY legislature to be majority woman! Ever. Until this, a country of 50% female have never broken that glass ceiling. Woman need to continue to exceed men in positions of power and numbers until this is no longer news and it’s normalised to have either gender in a majority.

Although experience, politics and beliefs ect are rightly important, for social attitudes this is a wonderful step in the right direction. Guys let’s swallow our pride and give the woman a turn, we have literally had all of human history in the number 1 spot, lets share now.

Well done ladies!
