With competent women in positions of power, the problem is that the media/people are sometimes more interested in discussing/criticiszing their looks instead of their policies/ability. Political discourse/discussion thus becomes trivialized....This can be unfair to the female politicans as their competence gets sidelined or overlooked as people are more interested in their appearance.
