Is it patronizing to say, "I think the next president should be a woman?"

Yes of course. It implies that the most impactful thing your presidential candidate can do is have a female gender.
Nah. It could imply that there are many equally qualified people for the job, and having a woman do it is beneficial in its own right. Y'know, to show that it is possible in the first place, contrary to our entire history so far??
