She has that "feminist attitude" that a lot of men have difficult with.. There is that, but I think it is a bit more subtle than the way your frame it because, believe it or not, I think most men are past that attitude. It is a feeling that perhaps Hillary has not moved past the success women have had in establishing themselves in the marketplace as lawyers, doctors, supreme court justices, senators, etc. I doubt that many men would be opposed to a female president simply on the basis of gender. The conundrum, of course, is that any woman who is a potential candidate will have been a strong feminist and therefore a natural ally of the left, a fact which will make it very difficult in the near term for such a candidate to succeed. This will change as the pioneer feminists fade away and their less embattled successors take over. The initial feminist era is over; the resistance to women in all aspects of life no longer exists in any meaningful sense. But Hillary projects an aura that she is still at the barricades. Such an attitude is not consistent with current reality, and it undoubtedly troubles some men. It should also trouble some women.
