I would say #1 comes down to values, and #2 is our shared experiences with women in leadership roles. It's pretty clear that misogyny plays a key role, which now interacts with "anti-woke" (progressive) values across genders and racial/ethnic groups. Generally, women make better transformational leaders, but transformational change is very hard, and usually fails, which has implications on how folks see women as successful or unsuccessful leaders. There seems to be a thread in the literature that women do not like other women in leadership roles, but I'm not getting into those politics. ;)

The data seem pretty clear that the majority of people in this country, including women, do not appear to value women leaders.
Agreed. But do we know why?
