Girls are put-off careers in politics because media favours men?

Considering that >.1% of the population EVER becomes a politician i would hardly call 37% of girls expressing an interest in the career as troubling.

This article is fucking stupid and doesn't contain a single ounce of good research.

It all boils down to "girls think they can't succeed at politics.....medias fault somehow"

This article is so fucking stupid it's an insult to women's intelligence.

We should be discouraging anybody from considering a career as a politician.

So, we've got an argument based on a gender specific poll asked by the Girl Scouts and included only girls. Thus, this 37% is meaningless. We don't know if boys are higher or lower. They seem to want to increase the number for no reason other than to have a bigger number.

We should decrease it. Boys and Girls. To 0%. Being a politician shouldn't be felt as glamorous.
