Just tuned in and heard this excellent discussion. You have probably covered this, but if not, please address the subtle, insidious sexism Hillary Clinton (and many of us) face--which is based on society's double standard for women in terms of their appearance and "grit." Much more has been made of Clinton's appearance (from clothing to facial expressions) than Obama's. And, strong, calculating women are perceived as "bitchy," while men are "powerful" or "sharp."
