While we're talking about sexism, "first lady came out of nowhere on husband's coattails" is simply not an accurate reflection of Hillary's life. She was a political personality before they got married.
She was a player in the 1960s anti-war and civil-rights protest movements, worked for congressional conferences, had a Life magazine write-up, was an important campaign staffer, was prominent in both the Harvard and Yale intelligentsia, and was a member of the congressional staff that was building the case for Nixon's impeachment. All of that happened before she married Bill. Then, when Bill was president, Hillary was often considered the brains of the operation.
You're allowed to not like Hillary. You're allowed to object to her on policy or personal grounds. But saying she came out of nowhere on her husband's coattails is factually incorrect, and frankly sexist. No.
