This article focuses on the effects the new Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, has on women as a whole. In the article it says that she has drastically changed stereotypes; such as that women are too emotional to be in power, or that they need a male guardian. Well I would say its about time these cultural norms were laid to rest!
Of course this article speaks to me because I am, in fact, a woman. It frustrates me to see that the world still views men and women as unequal, so I was ecstatic to learn that many leadership positions in Germany are held by women!
I found it funny, in the article, when it says that often men running against woman run into snags when it comes to bashing their opponent, because any dig they get automatically comes off as a dig against woman as a whole. Its about time the tables have turned politically, and hopefully this will continue on a global scale!
