Marvin may be one of these people, but strictly on a subconscious level. He doesn't realize it, I think.
But we can combat this! We have an amazing, qualified female candidate who is likely to be the Democratic nominee. It's amazing that she could be voted as president despite our patriarchal society.

Then those people are obviously sexist. And for every people who might not vote for Hillary because she's a woman, there are those who wouldn't vote for Obama because he's black or Bernie because he's Jewish. There are plenty of people who can't bring themselves to vote for them either!
Which is what I meant when I say her supporters should cut it out with the sexism crap. You don't see Bernie blaiming everything on anti semitism. And you bet your ass society is just as racist, anti semitic as it sexist.
Hilary ain't fighting a tougher fight than her competitors. Her supporters just wan't you to believe it because doesn't that "shatter the glass ceiling" rhetoric sound nice?
