Is it because they are FEMALE politicians?

Female politicians are easily threatened in the political field and they seem to be victims. I don't know why people find it so easy to threaten female politicians, maybe it's because women are regarded as weak in societies we live in? For instance  Tsepiso Mpofu who is MDC-T's Bulawayo provincial organising secretary has experienced threats, where people came to her house, stoned it to force her to step down as infighting in the party turns nasty.

"They left strange things wrapped with a party head scarf and a message that they would bewitch me if I do not step down," Mpofu said in an interview.

Women are in danger when it comes to political issues. This is why these people who threatened Mpofu had the guts to do such things, they know that some women are weak. Most of the times when people want male politicians to step down they don't do what they did to this lady. For example, MDC-T supporters wanted Morgan to step down but they never stoned his house.
