In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton To Next Female Presidential Candidate: Prepare to Be Brutalized [View all]athena
(4,187 posts)11. I feel the same way.
An incredibly intelligent, experienced, caring, and competent woman -- a woman who had almost no flaws, made no major mistakes, and had an almost superhuman level of control over her emotions, her behavior, and her facial expressions -- lost to an obviously mentally unstable man with zero government experience and no policy. Any woman who thinks Hillary's loss was her own fault and that another woman would do better is in denial about what the last election revealed about the depth of sexism in American society.

I thought Kerry handled his loss very well without coming across as a sore loser.

It's not exactly a sample of one. You are looking at the wrong sampling pool IMO.
