This is the thing which keeps popping up to cast obstacles in Hil's various
campaign efforts. People may favor her positions, but they just can't
quite trust a woman. It's a very irrational thing. You can point it out
and they'll agree and then just go and vote down another good candidate
just because it's a female.
