Rudy Giulianis comment that Donald Trump is better than a woman is made even more sexist by the context

The Donald Trump campaign has, to no ones great surprise, decided to make Hillary Clintons gender the centerpiece for their arguments against her fitness to be the president. In a single speech on Saturday, Trump attacked Clintons sanity, her stamina, her ability to please her husband, and her own fidelity. In other words, he hit the Big Six of misogynist slurs: Ugly, slutty, crazy, disloyal, deceitful, and weak.
In case these sexist attacks are too subtle for some of the dimmer bulbs in the right wing base, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani went on ABCs This Week on Sunday and spelled out the misogynist antipathy to Clinton in the bluntest of terms.
