Tuesday the Danes elected 86 female members to the Parliament, the Folketinget. This means Denmark is now led by 48 percent women.

I too voted for a woman. Not because she was a woman, but because she was the most qualified.

In general, there has been far fewer political scandals with women over the years, and it has been my impression that more women are well prepared, they are more hard working, while some men are more focused on press coverage and social media visibility.

Yeah, you would expect that to be considered a good thing, especially if you are a woman and want equal representation.

But no. Oh no. That would have been way to easy.

So, today there is an article on tv2.dk where a woman is complaining about the fact that yes, they are women - but they are YOUNG women - or at least younger than her, and clearly that is no good.

Yesterday, a male member of another party also took issue with the number of young women that has been elected. We had to understand that at least three of these young women were elected because they were a 10 on the "sexual marketing value scale", whatever that is supposed to mean, and not because they were the next Winston Churchill (his words, not mine).

This is a no-win situation.

If an almost equal representation between men and women in government is being rejected as a bad thing by both men and women, because some of the women are young and pretty, things have gone into absurd territory.

I sincerely hope that those are the extreme outliers - otherwise we need to start screening candidates, so we get an equal representation of ugly people as well. And overweight. And bald. And redheads. And hunchbacks. And left handed. And...
