I am not sure I completely disagree with you, but I don't think looking to the ‘natural biological’ role is a good place to base your argument.

Nature and natural law has many examples of fierce females raising litters on their own. The only contribution of the male being some sperm.

Other situations, like gorillas, clearly show the male in a “leadership role.”

So I don't think it is entirely a ‘natural biological role’ for a man/men to lead. Even within the human family much of the child rearing belongs to the female. From the first words, to getting them ready for school, to who do the kids often call home too from college. Children often understanding in a well run home if Mom says no...it is no.

So where do these observations play into politics? Can a strong woman be President?

It is my opinion when the time is right, we will pick a woman but not for her hardcore politics. It will be for her ability to teach and lead the nation out of its dismal state. She will be like the good wife whispering in the ear of her husband. Telling him to be strong, be kind, be firm, ...you can lead. This kind of woman with leadership skills, skill to raise the nation back up on its feet, is what scares the progressive left. A woman like that will be a fierce protector of her people and the strong woman behind us all...inspiring us back to our independence from government. She won't want us ‘living in our government's parental basement.’

I don't see that woman out there...yet. The old cliche about the woman making the man comes to mind. The question is can a woman transfer those skills into making the nation?

“Children often understand in a well run home if Mom says no... it is no”

Blessings on the hand of women!
Angels guard its strength and grace.
In the palace, cottage, hovel,
Oh, no matter where the place.
Would that never storms assailed it,
Rainbows ever gently curled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.

***One of my favorite poems. Your post reminded me of it!

I think you are confusing raising children with leading people, which is two completely different things.
