Can a woman be the president of the United States?

According to Isna, the US presidential election ended on November 5 with the victory of “Donald Trump”, the candidate of the Republican Party and the former president of the United States, over “Kamala Harris”, the vice president of the United States, a woman of color.

Harris’s defeat against Trump has made many in the United States question whether it is possible for a woman to be president in the United States.

In this regard, the American newspaper “New York Times” wrote: “The invisible but real glass ceiling of women in the United States prevented a woman from winning the presidential election again. They thought that America was ready to have a woman in the White House, but it was proven otherwise.”

During the 248 years of American history, this country has always been managed by men, and with Trump’s victory, a man will be in the White House for another four years.

Trump’s victory and the shock of women in America

Harris’ defeat in the election has angered many women in America, as the American magazine wrote: “All over the country, in telephone conversations, in their meetings, in family gatherings and in the workplace, women were experiencing the pain of another defeat. Mothers sought to comfort their daughters and many sought to investigate and explain this issue to their loved ones. Harris lost against Trump, a man accused of sexual abuse and a preacher of misogynistic policies.”

The publication quoted female independent voters as saying: “Many are afraid. Many are afraid to live in a country where 51% of its residents voted for a misogynist. Harris’s defeat upset many American women. The first time Hillary Clinton lost to Trump, women were so outraged that a protest movement was formed, but now, they are in shock. “American women are shocked that more than half of America supports Trump.”

The New York Times quoted Abby Clark, a 42-year-old independent voter, as saying: “I can’t imagine a future. It has no plan. “I just know that the future will be difficult.”

Did Harris fail because she was a woman?

During her speech at Harvard University, Harris did not attribute her failure to her gender or her femininity, and told her young supporters, “Never stop trying to make the world a better place.” “You are powerful and never listen to anyone who says otherwise.”

According to the New York Times, the Democratic Party candidate, who is a woman of color, sought to attract women’s support during his election campaign by “attacking Trump’s character”, as Harris did by broadcasting images of “Trump’s strange behavior” and the former US president’s hostile remarks against minorities in America. They sought to attract the increasing support of American citizens.

The American publication added: “On the other hand, Trump also focused on attracting the votes of American men during his election campaign, and he sought to destroy Harris’ character by using a misogynistic tone and insulting Harris’ character, intelligence and talent.” But Harris did not react to any of Trump’s insults.”

On the other hand, according to women who support Trump, his victory “had nothing to do with Harris’s femininity, but she was not the right person.”

History is full of misogynistic actions

According to the New York Times, American history is full of misogynistic practices. This publication wrote: “It took 105 years for women to be allowed to participate, and 59 years later, the Colored Women’s Suffrage Act was passed, and now, American citizens have again prevented a woman from entering the White House.”

According to this publication, America is behind countries such as England, Germany, India, Canada and even Mexico in the field of protecting women. All the mentioned countries have had a female leader throughout their history.

The New York Times wrote at the end: “America is not alone, men still rule the world. “Only a third of the UN countries have had a female leader throughout their history.”
