Yep... because aren't we all fighting for a chance to be evaluated on our skills and on our abilities, and in this case policies, and not our gender?
That said, I was appalled by the amount of sexism that ran rampant through media coverage of the race. Simply the tendency to refer to Clinton as "Hillary" while they referred to her opponents by their last names showed a lack of respect for her, and made me really unhappy with certain segments of the media. And that was the least of it.
