"An interim government was set up in Afghanistan. It included two women, one of whom was Minister of Women's Affairs. Man, who'd she have to show here ankles to to get that job?"

About this Quote

In this quote, Tina Fey is making a sarcastic remark about the gender inequality in Afghanistan. She points out that an interim government was formed in Afghanistan, which is a positive action towards progress. However, she explains that despite the fact that the federal government included 2 females, among them was just offered the position of Minister of Women's Affairs. This implies that ladies are just seen as efficient in handling problems connected to females, rather than being provided equal opportunities in other areas. Fey's last remark, "Man, who 'd she need to show her ankles to get that task?" highlights the absurdity of the scenario and the social expectations put on ladies in Afghanistan.
