Hillary's sexism hit her extra hard because she came after some "boy's club" issues over the years like guns and video games. That's politics with a strong gender bias in each of those, so that got blown up against her and some bad feelings reside. I'm still mad about the video games-stuff, so I have to double-check myself and try to be fair to her elsewhere.

Hillary's sexism also hit her extra hard because her opponent was scoring points off of how badly he treated women: Rosie O'Donnel, Megyn Kelly, Carly Fiorina, Hillary didn't look like a President, and probably more. I think Grab 'Em By The Pussy was the only thing to backfire against him, and even then that was history and wasn't an intended part of his campaign.

Hillary's sexism also hit her hard because her campaign was crying wolf against Bernie Bros. I don't know how many progressives wanted to speak up for her after those accusations were thrown around in the primary against them.


We can argue how valid her actions were that drew this ire or what she expected in response of some of those actions..but I agree that some sexism was real with her and think she was probably hit by it worse than most women due to her opponent and past actions.

I say some sexism because I think a big Conservative motivator was to stop with the "it's my turn" social politics of voting. Obama was the first black President, so they weren't into having another first anything else yet. That's sexism, but also there may be a better term for that kind of bad timing and there would have been a similar fallout with another candidate that ran their campaign like "vote for me because I'll be the first _____."
