11. Your post is the essence of sexism to me.
You've constucted a role that she has to play, based on her gender, and that shapes your opinion of her, and allows you to categorize her in gender-specific (and factually inaccurate) ways, such as "Everything she's done, she's done on the back of Bill Clinton." No respect for her individual decisions. No consideration of the reasons she had for doing whatever she's done. Just assumptions based on what she as a woman should have done, and what role she fits into.

I wonder if you'll see the parallels when the Republicans do that to Obama over race in the general election.
