We'll be hearing a lot of this myth in the next year. (See eg this bollox https://archive.is/LYV9A in Slate.com arguing that Bernie's surge is all about bias against women.)

I suspect there might be, but not any more significant than those voting in favor if Hillary only because vagina or those that voted for/against Obama for his color. Only because I worked for a long time for a man legitimately concerned I wasn't married and making babies by 18 because my wimmen duties and fragile childless spinster psyche (lolno)

I'm down for the icon of a first female President in the US, but I'm not voting for her only because she has a uterus. I hate this "women have to stick together" nonsense. Maybe in shittier countries and times but American women have it pretty good. Its like they don't realize they are biology driven competition.
