Well, there are surely some ppl, who would prefer Carl Philip, but as it seems Victoria enjoys enormous popularity. Not just because of her "charisma", but also because she has been in this position for about 30 years. I guess most ppl got used to her and don´t wanna miss her in this position. It maybe would have been harder, if the law would have been changed only 10-15 years ago (that´s why I hope, that they hurry in Spain or simply make a decision at all)
And women surely are not worse...and often extremely popular as the cases of Elizabeth, Margrethe and Beatrix show. But I must also admit, that as a crown princess (queen), I would wish for a boy as first born. Out of a feministic point of view a woman on the throne is of course fantastic and as I´ve said, they don´t need to be less popular than men, but no one can say me, that it´s easy to find a husband in this position! Not many men want to take a back seat. And now you can say, that this is just a matter of education and attitude...and maybe it is...but as long as the women, who shout out loud "Girl power...women to the throne" just pay attention to the crown princesses (and their bling bling and charities...) and not to prince consorts this attitude (not wanting to take the back seat) won´t change.
Of course it´s said one is never fully cured of eating disorders...but Victoria´s illness was treated at an relatively early point. She pushed her therapy through in a straight way (didn´t cancel therapies, hadn´t many hospital stays, didn´t seem to have relapses...) so that I guess, she can be considered as healthy and not endangered. For my taste she is a little too much into health food and sports these days, but this is just the statement of a lazy couch potatoe...and if this would mean, she is still ill, maaany women would be eating disordered as well...
