If I had to guess, I’d say part of it is because of the size of our military compared to other countries around the world. Many voters in this country have reservations about a woman being the Commander in Chief of the world’s largest military. This issue is not as relevant in other countries with smaller militaries.

Maybe not specifically military, but I think you are onto something here. All the countries listed here were/are not the #1 world power/top economy when the women became leaders. (Thatcher was long after the UK's peak in the 1910s.)
Perhaps it is about people not trusting a women to run the "most important office in the world". After all, the CEOs of the world's largest corporations are also almost exclusively male, although they at least have an excuse that their "electorates" (employees) are male-dominated.
I really don't see the sense in voters in other countries being less reluctant to vote for women as leaders because they think their own countries are less important than the U.S. Think about how that sounds when I reflect it back to you this way.

I disagree. It's pure sexism. You think the military is less important in countries like Israel, Pakistan and South Korea?
