I find this a hollow claim coming from a person who says something like
"Let's have a woman VP" instead of "Let's have the best VP possible, be
that man or woman."
In any case, the above annotation is undeniably false, since the proof
of being a good vp is in doing it, NOT in convincing people that you
would be.  A number of men have proven that already.
This is NOT an argument against a women vp.  Let's just not have a woman
vp for the sake of having a woman vp.
