Quickly, This is why PDP's answer on gender equality in the Senate, specifically is bad.

1. He as PM or LOO has full control over who is a Senator, so he gets to decide how many women are appointed.

2. His answer suggests that the reason women don't participate is care work

3. There are sufficient women in the party base that can be readily appointed to the Senate to provide their expertise.

4. If we're talking about barriers to participation women face, gender stereotypes around leadership and double standards are more significant barriers.

5. If his concern is combatting that stereotype, then a good answer is to appoint more women to demonstrate they can balance both.

6. The answer demonstrates a cartoonish understanding of women's oppression based on oversimplification of feminist critique of gender inequality

7. Going straight to the household chores kinda demonstrates where he understands women's issues as stemming from rather than the structural inequalities that he is poised to directly address

8. Yes, care work should be redistributed but it is not a good answer to THAT QUESTION

9. It does not help that PDP has had the opportunity to do better for women in the Senate and has not. How has he addressed the distribution of care work all this time?

10. The answer sounds like a cop out. I can't do it caz there's a more fundamental issue. You can though.

11. In the end, Andrew's simple answer of actively recruiting women is the better one. It acknowledges that women of sufficient talent and expertise exist and you'll have to make a special effort to to ensure they participate given your acknowledgment of the barriers.
