As far a being female, I never heard any of them sugggest someone vote for her because she was a female. We all agree a woman can and one day will make a great president, but that should not be a determining factor as that is sexist and discriminatory.
They have been raised to be self reliant and think for themselves. I'm sure some will say I indoctrinate that thinking into them since they were knee high to a duck. I would disagree. I raised all of my children to be intellectuals, self reliant and to think for themselves.
All my girls are independent thinkers. Of course they don't listen to FOX News like yours probably do. They watched the debates, and saw how each of the candidates acted. They saw Trump for what he is--nothing but a big bully. And they don't get how people can vote for a bully, because even they understand that bullying is wrong. What they don't understand is how adults can't see that. They look at the world, and see how hard it is for a woman to get ahead in the world. They look and see how our money only has men on it, how we've only had male presidents, and even male presidential candidates until now. They want to know why women don't make up more of congress and the senate, when they're 50% of the population. Your not-so-subtle suggestion that they are sexist is ridiculous and insulting. They know that gender shouldn't be important to a candidate--which is why they see it as an injustice that we've never had a female president, and only one female presidential candidate for a major party.
