I doubt that. But when the interplay of sex/status etc perpetuates the marginalisation of women within politics, then it is an issue.

You're not desperately looking for an argument against which you can take sides, by any chance? ;)

I said sex/status competition as currently magnified by celebrity pressure in the political arena poses a problem of gender equality. How's that?
