Clinton was perfectly molded according to the feminist template. Clearly, she lost because she’s a woman, disappointed women told themselves.

“But the greatest insult was yet to come. Republicans — those anti-woman, patricarchal Neanderthalian gun-clingers — nominated a woman whom Democrats would call a ‘Stepford wife,’ except she’d beat them to a bloody pulp with a moose antler.”
