Most working women don’t have a job requiring them to regularly stand up in public, be in the news regularly and get their face plastered on TV and the newspapers everyday. A public position, by nature, is not minimizing one’s public exposure.
This. Otherwise, Serarah is not an issue as the Charaidi MKs follow the words of the Gedolim for every vote, so they have no leadership or any other power. If women were MKs (eg. Mrs. Porush), then her husband could be learning in Kollel while she parroted what the Gedolim said to say (as MK Porush does).
Lior must be right, that the Gedolim don’t believe having yet another woman in the limelight outweighs the additional Limud HaTorah that would be created if all of the MKs were women.
