That is a long way from what she really said:

there are so many different crosscurrents and events, and some have greater impact than others. But, it is fair to say…that, certainly, misogyny played a role


Hillary was a very flawed and polarizing candidate. I wish the Dems had run someone better, but you are insane if you don't think some voters are just 100% against a woman president, regardless of party of competency.

No doubt about that, and there was also no doubt an equal number of voters who voted for her simply b/c she IS a woman. So unless you are prepared to say that misandry cost Trump votes you can't claim misogyny cost Hillary any.

Same thing when Obama was the candidate, there were obviously people who said "nope, not voting for a negro" and they didn't care about any other point. That's obvious. But there were also plenty of people who only cared that he was a black guy. That was enough reason to vote for him.

Identity politics cuts both ways, and if you live by the sword, you will die by the sword. Hillary can STFU.

You are insane if you don't think there were just as many crazed "men are evil" feminists who gave her votes simply because she had a vagina.

Well this can be used in 2 ways. You can also say that some voters 100% voted for her ONLY because she was a woman.

So, women face more resistence than African Americans in this country? Is that what you are saying?

You mean like some voters are 100% against a Republican man?
