Let's say in 2117... the US government is still around in almost identical form, there hasn't been anything crazy like a nuclear strike or another world war or another civil war or revolution or economic collapse or pandemic or mass starvation, and even the effects of climate change turned out to be adaptable. The laws are still pretty much the same... nothing communist or fascist or theocratic, no return to segregation or institutionalized marginalization of women, etc.

But there still hasn't been a female president. There's been no other "firsts" either (no gay president, no atheist president, no Jewish president, no non-Christian president of any kind, no Latino president, no Asian president, etc.)

There hasn't even been another African-American or mixed-race president, after Obama.

What would your thoughts be on this?

A lot of people are missing the point of this thread.

I mentioned "no problems" in my OP to pre-empt responses like "that would only happen if society collapsed/we became a theocracy/etc" kinds of posts.

This thread is examining how long will it take of no female president for people to consider we might have deeply-ingrained sexist attitudes?
