BBC World Service - World Have Your Say, Women in politics

Do we expect our female politicians to behave differently to men?

Following her primary election victories last night Hillary Clinton was criticised on social media for not smiling and for shouting. Do we expect our female politicians to behave differently to men?   Also, should Brazil's ex-president Lula accept a ministerial role to avoid prosecution? And, does Nigeria need greater gender equality after the Nigerian Senate blocked a bill seeking equal marital rights for women?
