Sorry I wasn't clear.
The damage I'm thinking of is political. As the first female speaker, she is setting a precedent. If her term is marred by scandal, infighting, extreme partisanship or extremist policy, people may be less likely to vote for female politicians in the future. That would be a blow to female representation in government.
I didn't mean to imply that she would take away women's rights just by being in office.
