2016 Postmortem

You write, "I just don't understand why you can't see the effect of woman-hating on this election...."

What I actually said was that some people did vote against Clinton simply because she's a woman. That's why it's simply not accurate to say that I don't see the effect. What you've added is that other people voted against her because of the coverage and that the coverage was to some extent because she's a woman, and I agree with that, too (although, frankly, Comey's actions would have been reported regardless of whether the Democrat he was undermining was male or female).

What I also see is that the gender factor worked in her favor with other voters. I won't say that I just don't understand why you can't see that effect because you haven't said whether you see it or not.

It would be nice to be able to quantify the net effect. I was hoping someone knew a basis for doing so.
