And even if young beautiful women can be capable, they are just a few. Marin had been less than a year in a ministerial position (minister of transport) before being selected to be a prime minister and prior 4 years as a member of Parliament. Great, some might say. The video scandal might say something, but she has shown the political inexperience in other ways too. I would grade her as a mediocre+ politician, not a stellar one.You are right! There is clearly a trend in selecting beautiful women. — javi2541997
Actually those who pick young women aren't actually who one first think would be picking them. It's usually older women and older people who after being disappointed of their generations politicians want to pick a candidate from the younger generation. The average age of the members in Sanna Marin's party is over 70.A lot of people resent attractive women for obvious reasons, and may even assume they are unable to do a good job because they are good looking. — Tom Storm
Having been a model creates that stigma,unfortunately. Even (or maybe especially) for males too.My first wife was a former model and super intelligent but she copped that prejudice all the time. — Tom Storm
