A female president? Most women would settle for feeling safe in the world

Kamala Harris was the second female Democrat candidate Donald Trump defeated to claim the White House.

The most depressing aspect of Trump's victory, aside from the lies, the racism, the misogyny and the hate, is that not one female leader of any country I know of spoke to congratulate him. Perhaps that's because they do not exist. Half of the population has no representation at the top. America could not elect a woman to be president.

How did we ever allow this to happen? Do we have to take radical action like the 4B movement in South Korea, where young women are refusing to marry, have children, hook up with men in any way until they have equality? I wish them well, but the bro culture's response is 'your body, my choice'. It's chilling, and shows how far we have gone backwards.
