    I don’t think it’s sexist to think that people from a different background and life experience may have a different take on policies. At least, I hope they do! It could be a nice change for the city.

      Sure, women can have different life experience regarding crime or healthcare but city council can focus on those issues when it’s majority female or simply has female mayor, right? The sexist part is focusing on ‘all-female’ part and thinking that they will somehow behave differently now that there’s no men around.
