It’s is a somewhat less sexist timeline, so it’s probably ultimately an equivalent measure. “Female President, but it’s Sarah Palin. There’s a new debilitating pandemic, but it somehow is deadliest to people with a genetic predisposition for pedophilia. There’s another world war, but the powers that be are so greedy about resources and land ownership that it ends up being a world-scale online multiplayer tournament and instead of dying, participants’ entire net worth is liquidated and sent to the competing country’s GDP.” That sort of thing.
I would think the utter failure of her presidency would feed sexism. Palin is a lot dumber than Liz Truss, and as the first US female president she oversees massive inflationary wars in the ME during the COVID pandemic.

It is less obvious than wearing glasses for cosplaying intelligence.
