Politicians are asked all kinds of questions.

But when the New Zealand and Finnish Prime Ministers Jacinda Ardern and Sanna Marin held a press conference, they were stunned by a reporter's question about whether they were meeting "just because" of their similarities, such as age and gender.

"We of course have a higher proportion of men in politics. It's reality. But because two women meet, it's not simply because of their gender," New Zealand's PM interjected.

But how common is this line of questioning for young politicians? We ask Finland's youngest MP Iiris Suomela.
