Despite a Century Of Women’s Rights Progress, Hillary Clinton Still Faces Outrageous Sexism
This is basically going through the whole last century recording progress for women.
Fear of a Female President
Hillary Clinton’s candidacy has provoked a wave of misogyny—one that may roil American life for years to come.
Thing that especially stood out for me (it seems we are right when we say 'Masculinity so fragile'):
To understand this reaction, start with what social psychologists call “precarious manhood” theory. The theory posits that while womanhood is typically viewed as natural and permanent, manhood must be “earned and maintained.” Because it is won, it can also be lost. Scholars at the University of South Florida and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign reported that when asked how someone might lose his manhood, college students rattled off social failures like “losing a job.” When asked how someone might lose her womanhood, by contrast, they mostly came up with physical examples like “a sex-change operation” or “having a hysterectomy.”

Obama never said it would be easy; everyone stopped listening, thinking his election ended racism and proved the war was won.
There's always another mountain.

And indeed, by bringing the issues into the light, we can more clearly see them.
