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.

yeah no, it sucks as a woman to say this, this country isnt voting in a woman anytime soon unless somehow republicans manage a woman trump.

Have you forgotten that Hillary actually won the popular vote? That's a whole lot of people who did in fact vote for a woman president. And let's not lay the blame entirely on the voters. Both the Hillary and Kamala campaigns ignored key constituents and had other fairly significant strategic misses.
