In class we read an article called “Women Are Underrepresented In Politics” talking about how women will tend to sell themselves short when it comes to running for a high political position like “president” and how it’s not because they worry about how it will affect their family like the common misconception, but based on how they and their backers perceive the difficulty of running for a political position is for a women athow it tends to be equal to men. I found this article interesting not because of how it talked about women and the challenges they face in politics but because of how it is another example of how we stereotype ourselves and each other. I see this all the time in my life like because of the fact that I am a caucasian male people assume that I have it easy, when in fact I deal with severe dislexya and I struggle in school because of it. But we as a society focus on a person's gender or ethnicity assuming life is harder or easier based on just that. In this article it mentions that women perceive getting into politics is two times harder than it is for males, and by doing this it is creating a self fulfilling prophecy that in turn is making it harder for women to get into politics. I like the fact that this article brings light to that fact instead of perpetuating it further.
