In a Huffington Post article, the author summarizes the findings of a director of the Women and Politics Institute at American University. The findings of the director are that even though there are less women being represented in the political world, it isn't because of family. I guess there was this common public misconception about women having to tend to families instead of focus their time on running for president or similar things. So are women less likely to run then? The director of Women and Politics Institute states that," Women are less likely to be encouraged to run." How true this is, I don't know, but it surprised me that people considered women to tend towards family more since I have never heard of that rationale before. I really question the point of view and bias by the director because it seems as if she doesn't have any hard facts to base her findings off of.
