Sexism against Hillary

The following are examples of sexism against Sen. Hillary Clinton which occurred during her run for the 2008 Democrat presidential primary race.  They are categorized along the "Signs of Sexism" (see the Sexism 101 section for more information) and come from mainline press, alternative press, merchants and YouTube.

...and then, of course, don't forget to "blame the victim!" Sexism necessarily mandates people view sexist examples (like the ones above) as a farce, dishonest, untrustworthy, irrelevant, etc.  This leads to comments such as Hillary's just "playing the gender card" and/or the treatment she has received (including her ultimate suspension of her campaign) has little - or even nothing - to do with sexism.
