I think the first female Presidential candidate will be Hillary Clinton and I'm looking forward to voting for her.
Not a chance. She will inspire such opposition as you have never dreamed of. The Republicans could run bin Laden and win.

And my vote cancels yours. No way.

Sandra Day O'Connor, anyone?

And, except for that and the quibble below, I agree with your post.

I see these distinctions becoming less relevant on a functional level.
Not entirely. Men tend to be more physically courageous than women. And I don't believe the need for than will disappear.
And note that word "physically". Psychologically, morally, no, that's not true. Women have instigated, led, and pushed many movements that required courage, such as abolition. When it comes to taking down a hijacker or charging a machine-gun nest, you probably want a man.
