I think women should be free to work towards leadership positions but shouldn't be put there just because they're women. I agree with you that they don't inspire followers.  The only time I have ever had a female "leader" was in business and it ended with her having a bad day, bringing her emotions to work and making her whole team hate her. Lost almost her whole team and had to start over. She then piggybacked on to her husband's team and now she's doing well because she doesn't have to lead shit. Leading under pressure shows who the true leaders are. And I haven't really witnessed many women do that well at all.
