Re: She looks only half female to me... (4.00 / 5)
Maybe we should have had a beauty contest instead.

For the men as well.

Well...
The EU is good at functional politics, but very bad at narrative politics, with theatre and pageantry. Theatre and pageantry are stupid and annoying, but very necessary.

Who cares if the men we appoint are feminine?

Who said anything about being feminine?

Swimsuits should, however, be obligatory.

Well that depends on who's under the swimsuit. Oops, here goes another zero... I mean warning.

Now that is a good idea. Because it is obviously ok for the media to tear female politicians apart because of their clothes, hair and looks but it doesn't get done to male politicians.

Though in the interests of gender equality I have on a at least two occasions voiced my objection to Geert Wilders purely on the basis of his horrible hair.

Well, a female with Geert Wilders' hair would have been ridiculed too.
