Didn't know gender was important to rule a country

Since women in modern politics are relatively new and this is a historic first, I think this is newsworthy.

However, I agree with you that gender shouldn't be the deciding qualification for the job. Yet I don't know nearly enough about Mexican politics to comment on that topic and to be frank, I haven't read the linked article.

It shouldn’t be, but gender used to very much matter. That’s why this is notable.

Tell me you slept during history class without telling me you slept in history class.
