Makes sense..it is fine for the Germans for instance to take a chance on a woman, as they don't have much of a military and have no intention of using the military.
In my opinion, it is advantageous for Germany to have a woman as head of state, since I thought Germany would like to change their 20th century image of being militaristic. Again, in my opinion, a woman head of state for Germany does not give the image of the old Prussian Kaiser, but perhaps a kind female relative telling everyone to essen, essen (eat, eat).
It also shows they do not keep the women home to be the hausfraus, raising the next generation of ubermenchen.
Regardless, I would like to think the U.S. had something to do with assisting Germany, after WWII, to make such a complete metamorphosis.
Oddly, in the role the U.S. has in the world, we might not have the luxury of doing the same. In the current age, we likely just have too many responsibilities in the world, in my opinion.
However, remembering Golda Meier, being the head of state of Israel, makes me wonder whether a female head of state is advantageous when a real war is imminent, since who blames a female lion for protecting her cubs?
