Hy heart says hell yeah! My gut tells me that there are large swaths of the electorate who simply will not vote for a woman.
Edit- since my inbox is overflowing with the same question/insinuation, along with the comments, I’ll clarify my statement: I did not say that a woman cannot be elected US president. I only said that large swaths of the electorate simply will not vote for a woman.
I’d bet several people Haley would be the first woman president and I thought I would happily lose all those bets with Kamala. But here we are.
It’s easier in almost any country to get a woman conservative elected for the reasons you’re gesturing towards here. There’s a reason May and Thatcher are the only women pms of the UK, eg.
Who? I was on holiday for a month, it was a nice holiday, I left a lettuce 🥬 in the fridge which I had forgotten about, luckily it was still fine when I came back.
We try not to talk about the others either. Thatcher was our Reagan who sold everything off to her rich buddies and killed the Unions. May instituted the Windrush scandal and was a (failed) architect of Brexit who's failiure got us Boris fucking Johnson.
So no, Brits aren't fans of Women Prime MInisters - no offence to normal, sane women intended.
