That "girl president" question reminds me of a survey from 2018 where a German newspaper asked a bunch of millenials if Germany is ready for a male chancellor and one girl sad: "No". By that time Angela Merkel was chancellor for 13 years so kids that are younger than that never had a different chancellor.

We might be getting our first "girl" president on January 20th, 2025. 🤞

Let's hope we can give that last kid the answer of "this is now" by the end of this year

Imagine the little girls out there who can be excited for a girl President. And all the 10 year old girls from 2016 can now vote!

There have ALREADY been female presidents: Eva Perón of Argentina and Vigdís Finnbogadóttir of Iceland, Indira Gandhi of India, Golda Meir of Israel, Agatha Barbara of Malta, Corazon Aquino of Philippines, Violeta Chamorro of Nicaragua, Mary Robinson and Mary Mc Aleese of Ireland, Chandrika Kumaratunga of Sri Lanka, Rosalia Arteaga of Ecuador, Janet Jagan of Guyana, Tarja Halonen of Finland, Mireya Moscoso of Panama, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia, Dilma Rousseff of Brazil, Joyce Banda of Malawi, Bidya Devi Bhandari of Nepal, Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović of Croatia, Sahle-Work Zewde of Ethiopia, and the most recent to get elected Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico. This is also about 30% if you include Prime Ministers, Chancellors, and other heads of state or gov't.

This also proves that the USA is NOT the leader or first in most things like equality and acceptance of female leadership.

Stephen's so happy now it's like he's a kid living in Kamelot.

“...And these children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds are immune to your consultations. They’re quite aware of what they’re going through...” - David Bowie The Breakfast Club. That quote couldn't be more perfect for this!

Hi Stephen! Just to assist you a tad:
Apples originated in Central Asia then radiated out into Europe. They were introduced into the British Isles and France by invading Romans some 2, 000 years ago. When folk say "As American as apple pie" they neglect the fact that the Brits and the French were making apple pies long before the original colonies were even established.
Hope that helps. 😉

Men are afraid. President Ford said (way back) that the day a woman became president, men had better watch out, because it'll be hard to go back.
