    The international community may not get a vote, but you also have to keep “how will he be perceived with other world leaders” in mind.

    But I think you’re right, she kinda needs a straight white man to appeal to the broader audience

      If we’re worried about the international community, simply having a woman in charge will offend a large part of the world.

      But, IMO, as long as the secretary of state is a straight white man, you don’t have to worry too much unless you have to work with those leaders one-on-one.

        Ehhhhh Queen Elizabeth II was plenty leader enough for them, but you might not be wrong.

          She was the titular head of state, but she wasn’t actually the leader. Thatcher was another matter, and I’m sure that caused all kinds of problems with a lot of male-dominated cultures.
