I think she was unlucky in managing to end up facing someone who's candidate myth can be sold as being more iconic than hers.

just because men want it that way.

sorry, but she is part of the last group of people who got the vote in the USA and that seems to be an issue with many people.

I think it slightly disingeneous to blame the whole situation on misogeny. There has to be at least a factor that it's reflexive anti-clintonish as much as anti woman.

As for the "this group got the vote last so they deserve a representative as president" argument how do you balance lack of the vote against slavery? I'm not saying one or the other is particularly worse. but if that appraoch is brought up, then how would you deal with the obvious counterclaim?
