The women running for president are all bringing down those tropes, casting
expectations aside and showing who they are as human beings while trying not as much to hue
on the likeability type of rope. Another thing noticed about the women was that they were all
easy to demean compared to male candidates (ThinkProgress, 2019).
The women running for the 2020 presidential election were treated poorly compared to the male
candidates. As stated above, stories and news articles about other women candidates broke out
throughout the campaign. For some reason, they received much more hate and attention than the
male candidates, making the women easy to demean and lose the respect of others
(ThinkProgress, 2019).
Likeability is an essential factor compared to men, as voters will not support a woman
if they do not like her, even if they believe she is qualified. Instead, they will support a man they
do not like if they believe he is qualified. It shows how women are mistreated, below men
(ThinkProgress, 2019).
Two themes that stood out during the video were likability being vital for women to
gain voters for their campaign and how women are easily doubted and depicted as weak
compared to men who get the benefit when running for office. This resonates because I often
want to be liked by everyone, but ultimately, it is not my job to make everyone like me. No soy
monedita de oro. Regarding how women are often looked down upon because of their gender is
something similar I had gone through at my old job at a general practice clinic. The clinic
manager at the time believed that I would make an excellent fit for a program coordinator
opening. However, the regional director believed otherwise and doubted me, assuming I was
"weak" and not "tough" enough for the position. These points could lead to pay inequality,
3
higher-up positions given to unqualified individuals, and an unhealthy toxic work environment
for women (ThinkProgress, 2019).
