It's easy to dislike the few senior women out there. What if women were half the positions in power? It would be harder to dislike all of them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I guess there are some women who like older men, but it's a smaller group.
I don't know if I have any particular views about women in positions of power, though I do think it's more difficult for women, particularly in a Medieval setting. They have the additional problem that they're a woman and people don't want them in a position of power in an essentially patriarchal society.
But I do not believe that the world would be entirely different if there were more women leaders. Maybe if everybody in leadership was a woman, you might not get into the conflicts in the first place. But if you watch the women who have made it to the top, they haven't exactly been non-aggressive - including me.
You can hardly judge women's effect on politics merely from the action of individual women officeholders.
Looking at female candidates today, other women are the hardest on them, especially older women who were brought up in a different culture.

There are some voters who are rather traditional and have some reservations about electing a woman leader. But the younger generation are excited to have a woman leader for the country. They think it is somewhat trendy.
When women are in positions of power it's a hard place to be, especially when that position involves bossing men around.
When men hold the greater majority of all professional positions of power, it is impossible for a woman to advance her career without the support of men.
Public and employer opinion often defeat society's best interests with a prejudice against middle-aged women.
