Why? Why won’t the US elect a woman?

As a woman of Muslim descent who has spent years fielding questions about Muslims and women, the Middle East and wkmen, etc: I am now asking that question about the United States
Why have so many other countries elected women as leaders but not the US?

And those women elected leaders were not perfect candidates, and yet there they are.

And when and where are men expected to be perfect candidates. So many elections are the best of the worst outcomes.
Do we want the bar for men raised above being the best of the worst?

Do we want the bar for women lowered from but can she walk on water?
