Playing the gender card is smart. I agree with Meowster she used it quite a lot (maybe even too much) but it is important for her and other women

That would be like a gay guy using it to get voted for to prove a gay guy can run a country. I get saying the actual achievement is relevant to a history book, and I have no doubt that there are capable women out there who could run the U.S. incredibly well. Hillary, however, is not one of those women, and actually voting Hillary into power purely because she's female is complete lunacy. She's not at all qualified or smart enough, and she's incredibly corrupt. Neither are things I want in the U.S. president, male or female. And things like policies (Hillary's change at the drop of a $100) and corruption are what you look at, not sex/gender
Of course playing the gender card is smart, it ensures her the radical feminist vote (and as ATRL proves, quite a few gay males who stan for women just because they're women). It doesn't mean the actual argument holds water, however. Assuming Hillary's policies were identical and the only difference was that she was a male, she'd be equally unqualified. Not moreso.
