voting with the mindset "hey, we gave 44 men a chance, why not try a woman this time?" is just as sexist as "a woman should never be able to lead our country, their gender is not ment/able to lead" ?

Voting for a woman just because she's a woman is sexist. It's no different than voting for a guy because he's a guy.
You should only be voting for someone because of their qualifications and what they could possibly do for the country. Their sex has jack shit to do with if they'll do a good job or not. It does not matter if they are a "first" or not.

Look, you responded to the mindset "the female gender should not have power" with "voting for a woman because she is a woman is just as sexist", meaning they are of the exact same quality. And that's where I disagree, because the later can have a lot of different reasons (and one example I gave: current/historical underrepresentation > imo arguably an egalitarian vote if qualifications/policies/etc are equal) . "Voting for a man because he is a man" can have a lot of different reasons aswell and imo not all of them are sexist, but voting against a woman for the one and only reason that "their gender is incapable" has no room for discussion, it's grave sexism.
Anyway, I'm moving on from your false equivalencies, especially as it's not even slightly related to the topic.
@ topic ) I don't know the situation in the USA, but here in Germany a big part of the "Antifa" is not there for policies or ideology, they are just extremely eager to punch/hurt people, their believes are extremely superficial/hypocritical and not few mostly use the movement to feel justified in their lust for violence.
I hope the victims enjoy a quick recovery (and won't be ruined by exorbitant hospital/medicine bills) and the perpetrator/s get their just sentence.
