"When Sanders was my opponent he focused like a laser beam on “class analysis,” in which “women’s issues” were essentially a distraction from more important issues. He urged voters not to vote for me just because I was a woman. That would be a “sexist position,” he declared."

It stands out for two reasons:
1. Sounds awfully familiar, this Rovian tactic to accuse a female candidate of sexism (much like right wingers accusing the nation's first black president of racism).
2. There is a long history of revolutions pushing women aside. For one historical example, look up the history of women in the French revolution. And that would be just one example.
