The area that is New York has been under European & American rule for over 400 years, and only now

[Celerity]

will finally have a female head of government.

About fucking time!!!!!!




ETA I mean the direct head of the colonial, and then the state government, not the Sovereign of the Netherlands or the English, or then the POTUS (which has always been a man too, but that is another discussion).

From 1707 to 1714.

There were earlier ones as well, but she was the last.

9. Oh I thought you meant who was the ultimate authority.

Yes I can see that the local rulers are all men.

Can you imagine how much better New York would have turned out if a few women were in charge?

10. head of the state/colonial government, sorry for the confusion

[cinematicdiversions]

7. Thank You. NT

11. Queen Anne wasn't the direct head of the colonial government, it's always been men, under the Dutch,

the English, and then the Americans.

8. damn, your right, eeek, I was look at the date that the first Europeans explored it, I will fix

12. NYC needs a woman for mayor.

14. I thought Maya Wiley and Kathryn Garcia had a decent chances, but they fell short.

Wiley was ahead of Garcia until the 2nd to last round of the ranked choice system, then was eliminated. Then Garcia barely lost to Adams, in the final tally.

15. I hoped one of them would win.

But alas, no so.

13. But we did not want it to happen this way.

Yes it's great that the new governor has broken the glass ceiling. But to get there the present governor had to resign after molesting a multitude of women. That's not the way to get a woman in the governor's mansion.
