Nonsense. 

It is true that it is only recently that women started participating significantly in politics as politicians, things have improved enormously over the last 60 years with second wave feminism, but second wave feminism was only possible because we already had 1st wave feminism, and that was only possible because we already had the freedom to participate fully in social life. That is not a freedom women in Muslim countries have had.

One hundred years ago women couldn't even vote, many didn't think they should have the right, and now a woman got all the way to candidate for President, women are Prime Ministers of provinces and governors of states in the US, etc. Clinton was rejected, not because she was a woman, but because she was Clinton.
