Maybe Sexism Helped Hillary in N.H.

Women in Iowa largely voted for Obama. In New Hampshire women went more for Hillary. Laura McKenna believes that liberal women rallied to Hillary because they saw her as threatened.
Lessons learned? If you really want women to vote for Hillary, pick on her clothes and her tears. Call her strident. Call her bitchy. But if you take gender out of the equation, then women are going to weigh her other qualities on the same scale as the guys. Hillary is like my little sister. Only I am allowed to beat her up.
Maybe it is their maternal instinct. This gives some credence to the old "women are too emotional and not logical enough" claim of the old chauvinist pigs. It also shows that the left wing women are as gender biased and sexist as those they protest against.
