There are just so many more male politicians from which to choose, that it's harder to find the right female who could be a good leader and could win. It can be done, but it's harder. It will get better with time, like anything else. Esp since more women are now in politics and people actually seriously consider voting for them. (There was a time that even if a woman ran, most voters wouldn't seriously consider voting for her, no matter who she was.)

Male candidates have their entire lives picked apart, so any female can expect that. Even their appearance, although it will be to a greater extent for the female candidate. But Trump has not been let off the hook in that regard, because he's male. As we well know, with the jokes about his weight, the way he sits, his double chin, his hair, his orange face, his old face, his big abdomen.
