But you said "I've had Evangelical women tell me that they believe that god "set aside" major leadership posts like the ministry and presidency for men." How are those Republican women getting elected to Senator and Governor at all? Do the evangelical women feel that Senator and Governor are not considered major leadership posts?There's a big difference between electing a woman as POTUS and electing one as governor or senator. The fact that Republicans are willing to elect a woman as governor or senator doesn't seem to apply when they run for president. I have serious doubts that the MAGA base would be willing to vote for a woman to be the GOP presidential candidate. And Trump himself certainly seems to have no problems expressing his misogyny at every opportunity - does anyone think he would vote for a female presidential candidate in either party? I remember back in 1984 when Mondale (who was nicknamed "Fritz") chose Geraldine Ferraro as the first female v-p candidate that there were frequent jokes among Republicans that his campaign slogan should be "Fritz & Tits".
ETA: Democratic women make up 42% of their party's representation in Congress, while Republican women make up just 15% of their party's members. Seems like a pretty clear indication of which party is willing to vote for female candidates for office.
