For a feminist, Hillary is trying to play the gender card.
Which is full of irony, of course. If she hadn't been married to a former president, would she have been elected to the United States Senate? Would she have run at all? This despite the fact she was a highly-successful lawyer in Arkansas. The husband card is a little hard to deny.
Same is true in her presidential run. EVERYBODY knows, whether they say it out loud or not, that Clinton is trying to capitalize on her husband's administration and trying to make her candidacy a restoration of sorts. And, as I've mentioned, the campaign is too cynical with her being married to a former president and he's term-limited.
Irony is the staple of life when it comes to politics.
