I've been trying to get a psychological grip on the anti-Hillary hate: Sexism [View all]

This is making sense: But of course, it's just one person's opinion: It's just pure sexism.

The Puzzling Vilification of Hillary, A Psychoanalyst’s Perspective: Huff Post, 05/27/2016 05:15 pm ET | Updated May 27, 2016

This is one line that gets to the heart of it: Any woman would face this bias:

At the most vulnerable time of their lives, babies are completely dependent on their mothers for psychic and physical survival. No one will ever have more power over them. Fathers, at best, are background, supportive figures. A cold, unresponsive, rejecting mother can threaten a baby’s existence and elicit extreme self-protective rage. I believe that Hillary’s coolness and ambitious assertiveness has evoked this unconscious primordial dread, resulting in her highly unfavorable ratings.

Not saying I'm absolutely sure this is true, but, it's food for thought: No matter her personal details, this hatred is unavoidable in the case of female leaders.
