Where the parties recruit, they probably run into the #GenderedLaborGap.

@INTPhilosopher @Transigence @JazhuStreaming @Oneiorosgrip @TrueNekketsu @discordspies @Dante_Al_noe @eldritchmother @Shark3ozero @PhilMitchell83 The article doesn’t explain why party leaders don’t recruit from “women from local school boards, parent-teacher associations and other offices below the county level” in order “to close the gap at higher levels of office” (politico.com/interactives/2…), which is kinda a big omission.
@INTPhilosopher @Transigence @JazhuStreaming @Oneiorosgrip @TrueNekketsu @discordspies @Dante_Al_noe @eldritchmother @Shark3ozero @PhilMitchell83 The article failed to address the elephant in the room, that (in America 🇺🇸) women are the majority of voters and women vote at higher rates than men (pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019…; cawp.rutgers.edu/sites/default/…).
Do women not vote for women candidates? That’s hardly patriarchy.
