For one thing, it is more likely to happen in a small country, other things being equal.
If you look into it, you find that women heads of state in 3rd World countries are generally wives or other relatives of powerful or highly honored male politicians who have died.  It is almost as if they inherited office.  In at least one case, she actually did - Isabel de Peron was her husband's VP until he died.  Can you imagine the President's wife in the USA being the VP?  Benazir Bhutto was elected because her father was an important reformer.  It was similar with Corazon Aquino in Philippines.

Because americans are the true animals, but if you call us that, we will destroy you, and take over your country and say it's in the name of justice and that we are heroes
