Many people feel that Westminster, the UK's political center, is still like a 'boys' club.' It is hard for women and people from less wealthy backgrounds to feel welcome or treated fairly. The system needs to change to be more open to everyone.

Name suffixes - a mark of the patriarchy.

This is a summary table of a registered voter list for a county in New Mexico (United States). The occurrence count of various name suffixes is further broken down by gender.

I have no idea how this may compare to name suffixes in other countries, other cultures.

This is not a scientific study. There are all sorts of problems, such as selection bias.

But the difference in occurrence between men and women is huge.
