Yeah, i didn't realize until after she lost the primary how sexist things were with Hillary.
She caught a lot of flack simply because she was a woman... a lot of the "attacks" she made weren't really anything, and wouldn't have been seen as anything big, and often as fairly valid criticisms if she were a man.
It didn't help that Obama was just the perfect candidate to play off it... without really responding or doing anything it was easier to make her look more like a bitch.
Of course that's the problem with Women in general in the workforce. They get hit with double standards due to preconceived notions everywhere. If they are too bossy they're a bitch and lose respect a lot more then a guy who is a dick would... and they've got less leeway, if they're not bossy enough they're weak... etc.
