Sexism isn't about "oh you're a women I don't like you". It's about being under more scrutiny and not getting as much leeway as a man would. I really don't think anybody could argue that Hillary was under a lot more policing than any other candidate had gotten - a man fighting to get ahead isn't as taboo, it's "tough" and acting like a man. When a woman does it it's under a more critical eye. Shit she literally got blasted for not smiling at debates AND for how she did smile at the debates.

I agree with this while at the same time thinking it was much worse for Hillary just because she is Hillary. By no means should this be used as a reason to say we should shy away from woman candidates in general. A lot of what she took heat for was due to her negative charisma morseo than just being a woman. Uncharismatic men get similar treatement.

I really don't think they get the "same" treatment at all. I mean look at Jeb, he just comes out as a goofball or dumb. Hillary comes out as an evil shrew.

Like again I'm not just saying Hillary didn't have problems, but being a women certainly exacerbates them.
