Whether it be a political candidate or a job role, the position should always be given to the person who is most qualified

As someone who has always taken pride in striving for a better career, I have always taken it upon myself to better myself in order to gain this. It wouldn’t in sense me if I were to be given a role purely, for example, my skin color or sexual orientation but not my suitability or skill set for the given role. If we truly believe there is a gender imbalance in both the political sphere and employment sphere, perhaps we’d ought to look at why there are more or less of either men or women in certain industries and encourage both genders to undertake some learning in these industries where one or the other gender is less represented.
