9. As a woman supporting Clinton, I have to wait for a man to tell me what to think

Misogyny has been standard for months and central to the vitriol against Clinton. It's a bit late to act concerned now, not after failing to denounce what has gone on for months. When "feminists" decided supporting their candidate required accommodating vile sexist attacks against someone who will be--despite their considerable efforts to the contrary--the first woman president in US history, they showed concerns about gender equality to be easily disposable. Bridges have been berned, and whatever feminism ever existed on this site lays in ashes.
