I'm not sure what you're asking.
But that was a facetious way of referring to women who have cast aside the traditional gender roles.

facetious

Ok.

Just wanted clarification. To me it sounded like a woman's place is in the kitchen and only the few are lucky enough to make it out.

The opposite.
My whole point is that women are not children, and they don't need a cookie or a pat on the head because they no longer act in a subservient way.
They are equals. Saying "That's good for a woman" is insulting and condescending.

I think this article is offensive to woman because it is praising a woman for doing what wouldn't be noteworthy if it was a man.

I see your point and I agree with the majority of it.

Amsterdam has a very long history of mayors dating back to the 14th century. This is this first woman to be elected, that's a news story.
