The Coalition’s female leadership has been silent about the attacks on Mia Mottley
Dear Editor,
They aren’t many female Heads of State in the world. It has been heartbreaking as a young lady to read the vile distasteful and disrespectful things supporters of the coalition are saying.
The Honourable Mia Amor Mottley became Barbados’s first female Prime Minister, securing an historic landslide victory by winning all seats in their parliament. The glass ceiling was thoroughly shattered. Though I am not surprised by the new narrative of members of the coalition, after all, look at their representation – where are all the women?
The women of the coalition have not impressed or inspired me. Why are they silent when their supporters and colleagues are making their distasteful comments about this inspirational female leader. Where is Sandra Granger? Why is Cathy Hughes suddenly silent?
Not only is it disrespectful to women everywhere, but it is also disrespectful to the LGBTQ community. To refer to a female leader as “man” and use male pronouns, clearly is a mockery and is unpalatable. Not only is it rude, but you are also mocking an entire community who are fighting to be recognized, whom only a daily basis gets referred to by all kinds of degrading terms, and have to constantly explain the concept of preferred pronouns. Stop with the disrespectful, unpalatable personal attacks.
Yours truly,
Nutana Singh.
