And just to be clear, I don’t think it’s ONLY sexism. But I do think that this is the primary force that has generated and maintained most of the negative narratives about Hillary."
I kind of wish people would be less apologetic. That has a bit of NotAllMen flavour to it. By saying "the main fuel", any good faith reader would infer "not the ONLY fuel." Why repeat yourself? The kind of people who need to hear it more than once are the ones who, when you say, "It's not ALL sexism", hear, "NONE of it is sexism."

I mean, you could be doing it and it could be something he doesn't do to you. Which, yes, then try to be aware of it. But it could also be something you both do, and something he does to other men and other men do to him, but he only notices and interprets as rude or dismissive when you do it. Kinda like when a man and a woman both say or do the exact same thing, and he's confident and assertive, she's abrasive and aggressive.
