The Inquiry: Why is Argentina Still so Sexist?
More than a third of lawmakers are women, the president is a woman, yet society remains deeply macho.
Known as the 鈥楽exy Deputy鈥 Victoria Donda is all too familiar with sexism. In this excerpt from The Inquiry she describes her campaign in the Argentine National Congress for new laws to protect women from street harassment. Male colleagues, she says, are oblivious to the problem while many female politicians find it necessary to act like men in order to secure positions of power.
