It has nothing to do with personality. It has to do with marketing and presentation, get that through your skull and you'll elect a female leader. Just pick a candidate that reassures men and men-dependant women that they are still in charge, even when they are not, and you'll get a winner. Even hated Maggie Thatcher to get into power presented herself as the stereotypical middle class housewife. After she got into power she became a raving flesh devouring nightmare, but before, she presented herself as the UK's then middle class stereotype. Look at the failures of Liz Truss and The Maybot to conform to that stereotype for a counterexample. Look at Scotland's former FM of Nicola Sturgeon, she conformed to the Scottish (particularly West of Scotland) stereoptype of the "wee fighter". Look at every successful female candidate, they never, to get into power, went with the American Left's approach of "suck it, assholes, I'm a woman and I'm gonna be your boss", because that is a fast track to not being elected.

America has a stereotype for successful women, you have to be folksy and supportive, momsy to a fault, otherwise you become a reviled shrill harpy. And that is just for the white women. It gets even harder for black and latin women, because to get to the middle ranks of success, in America, they have to be loud and sassy yet still subservient when given an order; to take the next jump up to true success, that is a whole new pivot. Very few have managed that, maybe Oprah. Harris should've been more early Oprah but not current Oprah. Give people cars, that wouldn't have hurt.

Thatcher actually presented herself differently. Either downplayed her gender or used her image as mom to imply she could handle pressure. I could talk about other elected woman politicians but whatever for. At this point I don't know what to say if you sincerely believe voting Americans wanted to elect someone who wasn't racist, woman or man, and that they'd pick a woman over a man.
