Its more common for right wing parties to elect a female leader than for left wing parties to, so if you look at leaders of countries most women are right wing. So if anything it is the left that has an issue with female leaders, not the right.

That perfectly explains why women make up 42% of the Democratic congressional body while only 15% for Republicans.

But it still directly contradicts the assumption of the parent and I would agree that it is a wrong judgement. Probably more a sentiment that was widely spread in Trumps opposition and perhaps this lack of judgement lead to a loss.

If we define "leader" as executive or legislative positions at the federal or state level, definitely not true in the US, by a pretty large margin.
