I realize this is not responsive to whether or not she's hated because she's a woman. I just think it's time for a new speaker with charisma and who knows how to better message to the public.

Agreed on both counts, great Speaker, not great communicator.
For me the question on speaker is who do you have in mind? Every candidate has pros and cons, and I don't see anyone running against her who would be any better. I do see some pretty junior Congressionals who I think will be ready before too long.
On the other hand, I can think of about a dozen Senators I think would do better than Schumer, most of them ambitious enough and seasoned enough to run if they saw an opening.
