Are we? Most women would not agree in the workplace..there are private golf clubs that will now allow women members..in a major purchase [car for example], "Is your husband with you?" It's still a man's world in the United States thru the eyes of many men especially in the "baby boomer" generation which make up a considerable amount of the votes.
Plus on the other side of the coin I believe some women would vote for a woman just becuase of her gender.
If we were ready why hasn't there been a woman by now..Oh sure they may announce their candidacy, but no one took them seriously. History speaks for itself.
Just my opinion,
