Basic "schrödingers sexist" move.
In any case, Marin has just announced that she will not continue as the leader of her party. She's not leaving politics altogether, but desires a less prominent role for now.
Which didn't shock anyone. She's basically been Finland's biggest celebrity during her tenure as PM, both locally and internationally, kind of overshadowing everything and everyone else in politics. She also (very competently) lead the country through two really complicated crisis which would wear anyone down, and got a ridiculous amount of crap from the media through it all, with the obviously sexist and petty criticism burying any real chance to discuss her politics in a reasonable way.
(The move also likely slightly increases her parties chances of being part of the next government coalition, as it's no secret she and the upcoming PM have a pretty bad personal relationship.)
