I don't know what's in Bernie's head but I do think it's rooted in some sexism. It may not even be something he's very conscious of, but I think we all internalize society's messages to some extent.

I don't think it's a coincidence that he's acting way more stubborn than any of the previous losing candidates (despite the fact that he's losing by more than Clinton was in 2008!), or that younger white males overwhelmingly prefer Bernie to Hillary.
