My biggest concern is that when the US elects a Female President, she will bow to political pressure and surround herself with mostly male advisors. I think that would be a mistake. Having some male advisors is a must because you want to see all problems from all viewpoints. But I would hope that a Female President would surround herself with a mostly female inner circle (both Liberal women and Conservative women) so that the problems of the world can be examined from a fresh perspective. The same tired thought process has been exercised from one administration to the next, with little difference between the two major political parties. The reason for this is because no matter who is elected, they seem to go to the same pool of former power players from past administrations to fill high level cabinet positions. Thus the same approach and the same worldview is prevalent within all US administrations. It would be nice to see a Female President with mostly Female advisors in order to gain a fresh perspective. The odds of a Female President in the near future is high. The odds of a mostly Female Cabinet and Female inner circle is not. We will probably have to wait some time to see that materialize, but at least society is moving in that direction.
