What Schouten's story and the experiences of politicians like Kaag and Sylvana Simons show is that it doesn't matter how high up your position is, how much power and influence you have in your job, petty sexism simply moves. This will not change and will remain an annoying and obstructing factor.
Not only in politics and certainly not only among men. For example, there has been talk online for weeks about Nicola Coughlan, the beautiful actress who plays Penelope Featherington in the final season of the series. Bridgerton. This third series revolves around her character finally finding love. As it goes with everything BridgertonSeasons, also has intimate scenes.
You might say there's nothing new, but Coghlan has a full figure and we're so used to only skinny actresses appearing topless on screen that everyone was already out of the picture before we saw a single bare breast.
Some are happy with her role and how she broke the mold. Other women are disappointed because they “don't recognize themselves in it.” Imagine being so concerned with yourself that you complain that the actress, who is already under a heavy magnifying glass, is not quite as built as you are.
