That is absurd, it is like complaining that the courts in China are all Chinese judges. If the country is 90% white protestants why wouldn't the judges be also? The Catholics came over from Ireland during the potato blight at the time of Queen Victoria, the Jews came to the US at the time of WW2, and most other immigration has taken place since WW2 when we became the major superpower on the planet.
The US was a country for 140 years before women got the vote. A supreme court justice needed a college degree, and years of experience on the court. So obviously it was a process that took years before you had a candidate like Ruth Bader Ginsburg who was capable of being a Supreme court justice.
That is an ugly term to describe the first 180 years of US governance.
The US was the world leader when it came to public school education. The reason women were unable to get jobs like Supreme court justice worldwide, not simply in the US was because of a lack of education. The reason for that was because of poverty. Even Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth were given rudimentary educations. The rulers knew they were going to be monarchs from a relatively young age, especially with Queen Elizabeth and yet they still only got rudimentary schooling from tutors.
The second reason is that women get pregnant. Only the very wealthy like the queen of England could afford Nannies to raise the children. Also many women died in childbirth. It was not until the industrial revolution that coal and petroleum began to do the work of men, once that happened we were rich enough to allow the luxury of people having white collar jobs. WW1 and WW2 established the US as a superpower with the reserve currency and that resulted in us having the highest standard of living on the planet.
This is a very ugly and slanderous accusation against the US. I wonder if you have been to other countries. I think one of the reasons for the ignorance in this country is a lack of travel.
