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.

    Oh god, the crying has begun. Can’t we be happy for this kind of change? It’s literally one city. How about we save the criticism for cities where it’s still all men.

      No but see in those cities it was a complete meritocracy and the women candidates just weren’t as good as the men!!!

      In this case it’s impossible all the women candidates were better than the men so it’s sexism!!!

      Why would you be happy for a change to another extreme?

        That’s quite the loaded question. Try again.

          It’s my position, I don’t want the axis to swing to either all of one or the other. That requires calling out when it goes to the one side, not being “happy” about it.

            I don’t think it’s a bad thing to have the occasional outlier. 🤷‍♂️
