Yesterday, Meet the Press had a segment in which a panel (of three men and two women) discussed whether the criticism of Hillary Clinton's voice, tone, appearance, etc. is misogynist. Here's how the segment was teased during the show:

Don't worry! It turns out there are studies showing that women and men are both criticized for their appearance, and it might even actually help women! Sounds legit.
For the record: Treating misogyny as though it's a matter of opinion is itself a sexist frame.
