What ultimately sunk Clinton was not misogyny, but her flagrant sense of self-entitlement.

- She was entitled because she was more qualified.
- She was entitled because she was experienced, including 8 years already in the White House.
- She was entitled because she was not like Trump and didn't make his mistakes.
- And, last but hardly the least, she was entitled because she was a woman and women are SO overdue for the job.

This last reason did provoke some misogynist comments, the same way OJ's defense playing the race card was viewed negatively (except, for him, it paid off).  "I'm entitled because I am a woman" explains why some of this occurred.  

Gender wasn't an issue until she made it one.  It backfired.  Obama was smarter as he never made race an issue in his campaign or sound self-entitled the way Hillary did.
