St. Paul, Minnesota, has an all-woman city council for the first time in its history — and experts say it may be the largest U.S. city to ever have an all-woman council.

      Equality is having most city councils be mixed, and a roughly even number of all men or all women councils where most candidates are all omen or all men. Not every council needs to be split, but at least one of the underrepresented group is a positive as a counterbalance to all the ones that are all men.

      No.

      I just have to assume you are asking in bad faith, because we very much live in a patriarchy. The mere fact that this is noteworthy news for being a first is reason enough to understand how this is only progress.

      You really think voting for a woman to be your representative is the opposite of equality? I can’t imagine what you think equality actually is.

      If somewhere else in the world there is one city that has an all male council then it evens out, statistically.
