I don't think she got roasted because she's a woman, I think she got roasted because everybody in the media realizes what I said in my previous post is true. She's utterly unlikeable and the very embodiment of political entitlement. She doesn't want to make the world a better place, she wants to be the First Female President, and she was willing to get married to Bill Clinton to do it.

I'm not saying she wouldn't have taken some unfair shots, because there are misogynistic jerks everywhere, but she would have had an easier time of it. The problem is that she's running against the most genuinely likeable candidate we've seen since Bill and perhaps since JFK, who also happens to have his own novelty.
