I wrote the Duminda tweet! Equality is judging men/women based on their results and Hirunika has been an absolute train wreck. I know because I am from the area she represents and her only claim to fame is her father’s death. https://twitter.com/pamodiw/status/1291254991324209153">https://twitter.com/pamodiw/s...
It really isn’t a problem with women in power either because give me someone like Angela Merkel on a ballot and I would get on the streets to campaign for her as president.
A woman blindly backing someone who has failed massively simply because she is another woman and claiming criticism is sexism doesn’t further the cause of equality it creates a lack of accountability and makes any judgement hereon questionable.
I’m not saying there aren’t people who are sexist in Sri Lanka .Their definetely are but elected leaders are subject to criticism irrespective of gender that is the foundation of democracy and I criticise HP as I would any man.
Infact I could name 5 women on twitter who I would 100% vote for if they ran because they deserve it and are people I believe in to create change. People who aren’t just in it for themselves.
Having an incompetent woman in a position of power does no favours for feminism. It just provides more fuel to demographic stereotypes

So yeah before you cry sexist for any opinion you just disagree with do your research! Back the right people and you won’t sound like a sheep with zero awareness of anything but headlines that you heard someone shout on cnn.
Just to be clear I did not say Duminda was god’s gift to SL. As someone who lives here I compared the two periods of them being local mp’s! The ways they helped poor people and maintained local infrastructure.
Simple facts.
