It's not a gender or sex issue. What the heck

It's not like von der Leyen is not involved in corruption scandals or is not pushing a surveillance state.

It's not about the leader, it's the system.

Only non germans could possibly consider VdL in any position of power a good thing.

The right is definitely getting stronger in europe too. Just because Giorgia Meloni is a woman doesn't mean she won't do horrible shit.The cruelty of our ruling classes only sees gender when they can wield it against others like a cudgel.

Giorgio Meloni doesn’t lead the European Union.

I didn't realize this was in reference to the leader of the EU and assumed it was in regard to europe as a whole having female leaders be much more common. My fault for not reading closely enough. My point stands however, Meloni was just a convenient example

Liz Truss is one such example of women leading EU thought

The EU is currently neoliberaling itself into irrelevancy, so if that's your standard for competency then... yeah.
