    Could very well be, but Hillary Clinton’s presidential run doesn’t provide evidence to that effect, since the majority of voters chose her.

      the majority of voters chose her.

      So what? The majority of people aren’t racists, that doesn’t mean that we don’t have racism. Sexism can exist and have measurable effects even if a female candidate gets more votes. The fact is, she didn’t get enough votes. That is in part because some voters wrote her off, believing a male candidate would be better because they were male. We know this is true because people have actually said that sex was a factor after casting their vote.
