Mexico votes in election certain to bring country’s first female president
Claudia Sheinbaum is the presidential front-runner, with 20,000 other posts up for grabs in the country’s biggest election ever
I don’t envy anyone in that job. Gangs have been taking out journalist and politicians left and right, and I hope she is successful at clawing back the country from the narcos.
She's probably alive because she's already cut a deal with the narcos. I believe over a dozen other candidates were gunned down, along with some family members. I doubt that her and her family managed to get out of all that from simple luck.
I've got this tiger-repelling rock to sell you.
What kind of comment is that!
Maybe she could be protected by "pilares de Oro y plata" or pillars of gold and silver. Or just really thick steel? What about really thick steel? Would that work?
"female"
Woman, thank you.
Would that mean Biden is our latest "man president?" I think male and female sound better in this case.
Male and female are perfectly okay when used before a noun.
It’s when they’re used as nouns themselves that it becomes problematic and just plain disrespectful.
Didn't know gender was important to rule a country
Since women in modern politics are relatively new and this is a historic first, I think this is newsworthy.
However, I agree with you that gender shouldn't be the deciding qualification for the job. Yet I don't know nearly enough about Mexican politics to comment on that topic and to be frank, I haven't read the linked article.
It shouldn’t be, but gender used to very much matter. That’s why this is notable.
Tell me you slept during history class without telling me you slept in history class.
