Crazy shower thoughts. In Asian countries, despite feminism never gaining that much traction gender when it comes to politics,work etc seems to be less of an issue.

Many places like banks, there are more female managers then male.

Doctors, Lawyers etc there are almost as many women as men practicing, honestly they seem to be just as good as their male counterparts.

Politics, whether the person is a woman or a man doesn't really seem to be an issue. Ironically most Asian countries had women leaders then their western counterparts, even places like Pakistan where they practice a form of Sharia law.
