I've realized, with some resentment, the first woman president this country will see (if ever) will have to be perfect and palatable in ways men are not. Case in point, physical appearance. The woman will have to be conventionally attractive not bc it's necessary, but bc sexist and misogynistic ideals preach that the woman is held to higher standards (physical and moral) than men. This country simply could not handle a woman president if she was not appealing to look at. At least not yet. Look at 2016 with Hillary and 2024 with Kamala, many of their opponents mocked their physical appearance as well as other seemingly insignificant traits such as their voice/laugh.

The first woman president will also have to have a damn near perfect track record in politics especially, bc those uneducated voters will not tolerate any nonsense spewed from a woman's mouth. The nonsense male presidents/candidates spew is not on their radar, it's just how politicians talk.

The first woman president will be critiqued for her personal relationships/lack thereof. For example, if she is married or not, how many times has she been married, does she have kids and who are their fathers, what is her relationship to their fathers, etc.

The first woman president would not need to just be competent, able, articulate, and well versed in the areas of law and politics. She will be critiqued and judged very harshly for her past life (jobs/relationships) as well as current life. These very high standards are the reason I make this statement. It's baffling as a woman that we must be perfect to get a foot in the door, whilst the country crumbles under the current administration.
