Voters rejected the qualified candidate. Can we ever have a woman president?

Growing up, I was told I could be president.

I was born in 1997, putting me on the cusp of the millennials and Gen Z. It was the era of third-wave feminism, where little girls like me were told we could be anything we want. I was raised by a mother who gave me books on winning the right to vote. I was taught that I was on the same playing field as the boys in my class.

I’m starting to think that isn’t true.

On Tuesday night, Vice President Kamala Harris lost. It was Donald Trump’s second time winning a presidential election against a woman. I held my mother as she repeatedly expressed her disbelief. I scrolled through posts from my female friends on social media, sharing their anger and their grief. In all of it, I felt nothing and everything.

1. Take the names off the resumes

And even Republicans would admit that Clinton and Harris would easily be two of the most qualified candidates in modern times, yet the country elected the only candidate in history that was a convicted felon.

2. nope

Dems will not be running a woman in my lifetime, and repukes won't even think about it

3. Not in my lifetime.

I’m 61. Maybe some of y’all who are younger will have the privilege one day.

4. In the last 8 years I've voted for 2 awesome women candidates

... who were both SUPERIOR in every way to their Repuke opponent.

So I gonna say yes ... as soon as Chump croaks, we can have a woman president.

6. both women were held to impossible standards

Trump was held to no standards at all.

5. Yes. It will take several more years. We are not there yet unfortunately.

Little girls, young women, will not stop dreaming and working to shatter the glass ceiling. Ironically, it was VP Harris who said, on the journey to shatter the glass ceiling, you will get cut.
So yes, we will get cut a few times with the shards of glass, but eventually it will give way. I can't say when. It won't be the next cycle. Democrats will probably be too scared to run anyone but two white men on the ticket next time.
