Not quite... I do believe many a man with power greed will say or do anything to get it. Politics is to a great degree about the power hungry seeking and getting power. If anything, women tend to be less power hungry than men. This might be a good thing, except the tendency of the less power hungry to allow the power hungry to grab power is an unfortunate dynamic.
It's about the myths, traditions and prejudices that the males will use against any woman who might want to compete.
Since the awakening, through the unravelling, it has been politically incorrect to be blatant about one's racism and / or sexism. Trump is blatant in both. One of the conjectured reasons for his success among the Republican base is that he is willing to open doors and bring back into the open blatant sexism and racism. The deplorables have a long resentment that they aren't able to be openly and blatantly deplorable. Trump has been making America deplorable again, which many think is a good thing.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
