Sexism & Elections
Former first lady Michelle Obama claims that America isn’t “ready for a woman” president.
IN FACT, a scientific survey just before the 2016 presidential election found that 69% of voters said the sex of the candidate doesn’t matter to them, 15% preferred a female, 12% preferred a male, 3% were unsure, and 1% refused to answer. Furthermore, Hillary Clinton’s campaign implicitly encouraged people to support her on the basis of sex by employing the slogan, “I’m with her.”
