4. Plenty of women are misogynist

Sorry to say that I do see misogyny as a big part of the Hillary-bashing around here and in general.

But then I'm a man. With a daughter.

Bernie had my primary vote in NY for a long while but as the date approaches I've decided that It Is the Misogyny, Stupid.

Many Bernie supporters -- most I hope-- are not misogynistic. But right here on DU I am seeing pretty a constant stream of blatantly sexist posts about Hillary. Every day. All day. From people who surely know better.

Slam me all you want but be aware BS had and lost a NY primary supporter in me. And I'm not alone in that.
