If you're trying to rewrite history to suggest Hillary lost in part because she was perceived as a hysterical female, I have to call serious bullshit. Nobody thought she was weak, emotional, or unpredictable. It was her coolness and deliberateness that people criticized. The sexism there was a really shitty expectation that because she was a woman, she could not be a detached, cold pro... That she had to be warm, while Trump could be a completely emotional lunatic.

You are completely wrong, as usual. She was labeled shrill and cold. She was labeled too emotional and an ice queen.
