As we see more and more women in different positions, I feel it should not be their responsibility to be in their job and to also be responsible for everything to do with women. There must be a point at which it is simply acceptable to just do the job without discussing why they are doing it or the fact that they are doing it while being a woman or anything else. Just be "the politician" instead of "the woman politician" or be "the CEO" instead of "the woman CEO" and say “No” to that sort of engagement and for that to be an acceptable feminist perspective as well.
