Meh. I’m not onboard with the magic thinking that somehow gender is some silver bullet to better leadership. Women are as susceptible to the vagaries of political life and the wielding of power as men.
We’ve seen women world leaders. The usual mix of good, bad and in between.
The problem, among many others, has not been having men as leaders, it’s been ignoring half available the talent pool based on long exposed prejudices.
Women represent both the best and the worst of us. Just like men.
And yes, this time around, it’s very likely the VP spot is much more ‘President in Wating’ than understudy.
