“Are You Superwoman?” Metsola Asked

"Are You Superwoman?" Metsola Asked
Apr 2 2023 Share

Roberta Metsola, the European Parliament President, recently sat down for an interview with Richard Quest from CNN. During the interview, Metsola was asked about how she manages to juggle her duties as a mother of four children and her role as the European Parliament President.

Metsola’s response was that it takes a great deal of organisation, the help of grandparents, and a schedule that is inflexible but can be made flexible when necessary. She also noted that she and other female politicians are often asked about how they balance parenthood, family duties, and their political roles, while male politicians are not typically asked the same question.

Metsola’s comments highlight an ongoing issue in many professions, including politics, where women are often held to a different standard than men. Women in positions of power are often expected to excel in their professional roles while also fulfilling traditional gender roles at home. Meanwhile, men are rarely questioned about how they manage to balance work and family life.
