Rachel Reeves She has said that she is “fed up with people telling her how to behave.” chancellor“Him, and Independent Readers have shared their thoughts on why some of the criticism they face is gender biased.
Many readers highlighted that there was already considerable scrutiny before Reeves announced his BudgetAlthough the Chancellor She insisted that she “will not let them bring me down.” By weakening my character.”
Others noted the aggressive and personal tone of the comments, pointing out that male chancellors rarely face the same level of abusive behavior.
One reader highlighted that referring to Reeves as “Rachel from Accounts” when criticizing her decisions was both patronizing and sexist.
Many agreed that the investigation is part of a high level Government The roles, tone and language used by some critics attempt to diminish her self-confidence because she is a woman.
There was consensus among commentators that it was legitimate to condemn this sexist behaviour, even if legitimate questions remained about their policy choices.
Here’s what you had to say:
evaluate the budget after
Love all the other guys proving Reeves’ point perfectly. To have the audacity to say complete nonsense about it is mansplaining. This goes on in all areas of life and it is humiliating. I see that some of my colleagues are also facing this. Do us a favor, flakes, and pour the pipe. Let him do his work and then evaluate whether he has done the work or not.
Protectionist and sexist criticism
The fact that they have had difficult times and should remain open to scrutiny does not negate their point that some of the language used has been patronizing and sexist. Her performance has been poor (although given the international situation, this is not entirely her fault), but the aggressiveness of the criticism and the personal nature of some of it is generally far greater than that of male chancellors.
i think most women People in senior positions will recognize this – this is an all-too-familiar way some people try to undermine women in the workplace.
I don’t blame him for being irritated. Everyone, from her own backbenchers to all sections of the media and every think tank and lobby group known to mankind, is lining up to corner her and pass judgment on what she is rumored to be planning.
Now the time has come to restore the budget curtain. Its purpose was to protect the Chancellor from undue pressure, to give him the space to draft his own budget without interference, and to prevent budget negotiations from influencing financial markets. The government is constantly being badgered by the media to provide more details and explanations about what it is doing, I think this is why this budget has been widely leaked and publicly debated. This should be opposed in future. Budget details are fiscally sensitive, and Reeves should not have faced this amount of interference.
focus on decisions
This is a high-profile role in government, and it is expected, male or female. The important issue is whether his decisions are right for the country?
‘Rachel from Accounts’
Problems can arise when she is widely referred to as “Rachel from Accounts” when criticizing her and telling her how to do her job.
Inappropriate and gender discriminatory language
derogatory description [Rachel from accounts] Inappropriate and also sexist.
Although the nature of being a politician places a “target” on you, in an ideal world all public figures deserve respect and should act with respect…it’s nothing to be ashamed of.
I wouldn’t want to be chancellor right now
There is an interesting economic quiz in which you all can take part Guardian If you were Chancellor, how would you perform in the Budget and would you keep the voters happy, the markets happy and the Labor backbenchers happy – and that is no easy feat. I tried it, and both the backbenchers and the markets will be happy, but not the voters. I would hate to be Chancellor right now, and I just hope she makes the right choice.
criticism is part of the job
Hmm, name a Chancellor who does not have critics. Heck, name one person whose critics haven’t said he’s the worst thing since Napoleon and is going to ruin the country. Criticism, even unfair and exaggerated criticism, is part of high-level government, and honestly framing it as a sexism issue isn’t very effective.
I mean, sure, if people are using derogatory and sexist language, that’s something else, but facing a lot of criticism and advice is just part of a job like this. Describing this as “mansplaining” comes across as playing a card to win sympathy points or discredit your critics without addressing their actual criticisms. In other words, there may be something to it, but in the absence of evidence it just seems like an excuse.
gender is not an issue
I’m not sure the shortcomings of politicians, who clearly require some more input from others, should come to the gender fight. If anything, Reeves is yet another person who sadly and unfortunately stigmatizes women in senior political roles. So perhaps the Labor government should find better-qualified people, because I’m fed up with a thin-skinned, poorly performing Labor government.
Mansplaining misused
“Mansplaining” is defined as a man explaining something to a woman in a patronizing way about a topic she already understands. That’s certainly not the case here. Reeves is about to introduce a bigger budget, so testing is ideal and necessary. Saying that “mansplaining” is a misuse of the term and is considered an attempt to deflect attention from the criticism she does not want to address.
