10. I don't think it's sexism

I think there is some real sexism, and some invented, inflated, everything looks like sexism.

It's not new than any candidate where there might be an attack over their religion - Kenned and Al Smith before as Catholics when there was a lot of prejudice, Romney and Mormon, Obama and insinuations he's Muslim - they've been made.

As prejudices change, attacks change - John Kerry wasn't attacked for Catholicism.

This is just another throw mud at the wall and see what stick typical campaign attack, not sexism.

Unfortunately I think I'll have a lot more times to say that if I keep trying to distinguish the real and not real sexism.
