The article argues women in public life, like Giorgia Meloni and Trisha Krishnan, are weaponized in political discourse to undermine male rivals. This patriarchal strategy strips women of agency and professional dignity, reducing them to proxies for personal attacks. Such tactics, often exploiting women's attractiveness, degrade political debate by prioritizing sensationalism over policy. This discourages women from high-visibility professions. The author advocates for policy-focused discourse, not personal insinuation, to prevent women becoming collateral damage in men's political ambitions.
