So apparently voting for someone based on the gender is the pinnacle of feminism

Somewhat related, Election Day not being a national holiday means that most voters are women.

Clearly anyone voting for Hill only because she's a woman is sexist. But it's 'good sexism'. :(

I read an article where the author justifies voting for Hillary because she's a woman by saying it's because women need an icon to escape their oppression. The funniest part is by that logic Bernie Sanders would be the best choice, considering he's Jewish and his father's entire family was murdered by their government, and he grew up in poverty. While Hillary grew up in a upper middle class home and enjoyed a wealthy life style. They legitimately think they were treated worse then Jews during the holocaust...

Not that either of those were good reasons. It's one thing to support a candidates policies and views but basing it on irrelevant biological factors they can't control is stupid.

Are you referring to some article/speech/etc in particular?
