An Observation

[Content Note: Misogyny.]

I've noticed something interesting, ahem, regarding the reactions to people who say they are supporting Hillary Clinton in part because they are very keen to see a female president soon.

Men who say they are supporting Hillary Clinton in part because they have daughters and they want their daughters to have the experience of seeing a woman in the White House and the validation that accompanies it are THE CUTEST THE BEST OMG WHAT A GREAT DAD.

Women who say they are supporting Hillary Clinton in part because they are women and they want to have the experience of seeing a woman in the White House and the validation that accompanies it are THE WORST SUCH SEXISTS OMG WHAT A DISGUSTING BITCHCUNT.

Huh. I wonder what on earth could account for this strange disparity.
