We need to distinguish between "representation" in the sense of belonging to the group vs advocating for the group.

For example, most politicians in the West are White. However, zero of them dare to openly advocate for White interests. Many of them openly champion the interests of other racial groups, often to the detriment of Whites.

Likewise, most politicians in the West are men. However, zero of them advocate for men. Many of them openly advocate for and prioritise the interests of women. They are quick to condemn any of their peers who might actually represent men's interests.

So, yes, a lot of politicians are White men like me. However, I genuinely feel as if I have zero political representation. Zero. And they take every opportunity at press conferences and photo ops to rub it in my face.

>Political representation in just about every country (including Germany) already skews pretty heavily towards men.

There is absolutely nowhere in the West where this is true. Even the suggestion that a politician advocates for men's rights would be the end of their career, meanwhile they endlessly twerk for women's votes with all of the right campaign promises of cash and prizes. Some countries even now have ministers explicitly representing women.

They just took a computer desk from the 90s and cut three holes in it.
