Why is it at all times that I see the flip facet of fine information. Heck, I used to be a feminist earlier than it was cool to be so! However right here we go. Fifty Fifty which tirelessly fights for the illustration of girls within the political spheres – typically rather more successfully when it comes to tone of voice than others (examine right here to right here) has launched a marketing campaign whereby there’s be a authorities composed of fifty% ladies ministers.
Do word, I’m all for it, and I’m certain there are loads of ladies worthy of the positions (of which Fifty Fifty discovered fairly a bunch). If you wish to discover a few of their selections please head right here.
As normal, I’ve a “however”….
To melt the blow I might say “sure, however…”
Quite a lot of these ladies prompt by Fifty Fifty are already direct descendants of the same old political households (Chamoun, Gemayel, Yafi) or are shut – as in very shut – to established political figures (Kaskas, Ekmekji). Please word, I’m penning this whereas attempting to not throw shade at these ladies’s achievements, abilities and political experience.
However the truth that these ladies and others (I’m attempting to not single these ladies out of those talked about within the Fifty Fifty advert) had been prompt leaves me questioning if at anyone level we are able to really depart the previous political nomenclature already established in Lebanon.
However, come to consider it, a feminine from a sure political household in Lebanon at this level, is just not able to doing a worse job {that a} male member of her household.
So heck, I’m all for these ladies!
