Pakistan is not exactly a bastion of western, liberal ideas. But even THEY have had a female Prime Minister (Benazir Bhutto). It seems that only the USA has yet to learn that a woman can be a fantastic head of state. And, I'm really sorry to say that the Americans who can't take the idea of a female head of state includes quite a few Democrats. If every Democrat had voted for Harris, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in right now.
