Sometimes people are just foolish, asinine, or unpleasant in ways that can exaggerate underlying prejudices, even if one consciously tries to give them the benefit of the doubt. In the case of Hillary Clinton, she was just such a piss poor candidate and a truly awful and unpleasant person that even people who wanted to like her still had difficulty supporting her. In her case, sexism was a very insignificant and incidental consideration for those who did not support her.
Hilary seemed alright, she was certainly compassionate and competent.
That people took against her in such a harsh way was surprising to me, the only explanation is that the US is still backwards in its views on females in power.
She didn't win because of some vague thing about her e-mails when Trump was absolutely awful in every way possible.
Racist, sexist, offensive to the disabled and just plain obnoxious. I could go on for days about how bad he is.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.
