65. Until she falls behind.
Then she has no problems bringing up her femaleness.

Look, you're absolutely right there's powerful forces working against women (although this is a strawman argument, since this wasn't ever really in question here). These forces have been there so long, we no longer even notice them-they're just built into the DNA of our society. But, it sounds like this is an automatic endorsement for Hillary because sexism exists. It doesn't work that way. Voting for someone because of their identity is a mistake, if other things disqualify them. Look at Marion Berry. The voters put him back in office after being caught on tape smoking crack-where he promptly screwed up again. They voted him in because he was Black, and refused to consider his problems as anything other than a creation of the media. Sound familiar?
