Why Female Presidential Candidates Are Still Overlooked

2. "But a man who looks like nearly every president we've ever had isn't an underdog in this"

I'd argue that Buttigieg is indeed an underdog. Just because he looks like most of the presidents we've had (which, frankly, is debatable considering his age) doesn't mean that a gay man doesn't have an inherent disadvantage in our present society.

Said disadvantage may not be as significant as running as a woman (again, this is debatable), but it is a disadvantage, as much as we'd like to believe we've moved beyond that.

I agree on most of the other points. The media coverage of the candidates does place our female candidates at a disadvantage. It's much the same in the rest of our society - women often have to work harder, longer, and better to get the same recognition as men. And still don't.
