acinda Ardern was meeting with her Finnish counterpart Sanna Marin when a (male) reporter asked if they were meeting just because they were both young women leaders.
New Zealand's Jacinda Ardern and Finland's Sanna Marin quickly shot down a reporter who asked if their similar age and gender was the reason for their official meeting. https://t.co/HgBhR3g9tg pic.twitter.com/OT2i9A1PBa

Watch NZ Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern pick apart this reporter's question during a joint press conference with Finnish PM Sanna Marin. He asked the pair 'are you two meeting because you're similar in age and got a lot of common stuff there?'

He presumably won’t be asking that again.
I enjoy the barely repressed fury, channelled into totally being on her fucking shit, that Jacinda displays here - after what is, quite possibly, the stupidest question ever asked. https://t.co/9cw8605TGn

Jacinda Ardern is just incredible.

She takes a childish, disrespectful question and manages to construct an intelligent, informative and educational response (backed up with stats) and deliver it with grace and eloquence.
Huge admiration for our PM. ❤️ https://t.co/uoUK75dqPt

Beautifully sidestepped a wrong-headed and misogynistic question with no-nonsense grace and good humour. We need more politicians like @jacindaardern and @MarinSanna, and fewer journos like that bumbling twat who asked the question in the first place.pic.twitter.com/c7tYd8rpW8

That last sentence of Jacinda's response. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

It is simultaneously frustrating and awesome that women have to jump such high hurdles comparatively that when faced with questions like this, their responses just smash the stupidity out of the park. https://t.co/DAmrEJvUMp

Media sexism is still so rife. Women in politics are measured by a different yardstick. Also women are seen to not have gravitas so their accomplishments made trivial in this way. What a question to ask a Prime Minister. pic.twitter.com/nf3nj99PJw

Complete killshot from Jacinda Ardern in the joint presser with Sanna Marin when asked if they were meeting because they were similar.

"I wonder if anyone asked Barack Obama and John Key that? ... because two women meet it's not simply because of their gender."
🪦🪦🪦
Absolute takedown. Expect a lot of female journos in this room were giving her an imaginary high five https://t.co/VG7d6bVgaO

Ssheesh that question was awkward 😳 and cringey 🙄
Imagine thinking the reason 2 national leaders were meeting was because... ya know, stuff... and age...and stuff...
