Bernie is representing a movement. He doesn't care to be the leader of it, but he is. He was a reluctant leader, but now that's what he is. He is never going to walk away from that commitment lightly. And that's where he is today. And that's what comes first, not your idea of what is sexist or what he said before in a past election when he was simply a Senator weighing in on the ongoing electoral process.
If you can't see that time as a totally different situation than he was not an active candidate, then I don't know what else to say to you.
I see this as more trying to force or trick people into doing things they don't want to do. Did it ever occur to you that using a lesser principle to defeat a higher principle is not very "principled"? It also doesn't really work.
