人们对女性轻视，还有各种性别歧视和厌恶女性，这些都不新鲜。
Trump's treatment of women from calling Clinton a nasty woman to regularly critiquing women on their physical appearance,
特朗普曾认为克林顿是下流女人，并经常讽刺女性的外表，
combined with his anti-abortion judicial nominees and racially divisive pronouncements
加上反堕胎的司法提名人，还有种族分裂的声明，
helped spur a record number of women to run in last year's midterm Congressional elections.

All face an electability hurdle specific to their gender. We have a certain archetype for president in this country.

It is, it has always been a man. We think of leadership, and particularly presidential leadership in a certain way

and women don't fit into that yet. Female Democratic candidates can be particularly vulnerable to gender bias attacks

that cast them is overly compassionate and not as tough as men in advocating causes like expanded health care for the poor.

That probably reinforces existing views of the Democratic Party
这或许加强了民主党现存的观点，
when sometimes to win that majority, you need to cut against the stereotype a little bit.

After the Clinton loss, some wonder if a male Democrat stands a better chance of winning over Americans who voted for Trump in 2016,

but today's Democratic candidates reject any notion that now is not their time.

Putting more women in positions of power leads to progress, and it's not always easy, but you don't get what you don't fight for.

Warren responded in a campaign email saying: I'm angry and I own it.

Today's women candidates are not shy about calling out perceived sexist attacks or double standards in how they are portrayed.

I think it's opening everyone's eyes to hold on, is that the way I would treat a male candidate, and that's good for all of us.

Recent elections indicate growing female support for Democrats and polls show an erosion of support for Trump among women.
近期的选举表明女性的对民主党人的支持增加，民调显示女性对特朗普的支持减少。
Women will play a critical role in the outcome of the 2020 election including whether a woman finally breaks the presidential glass ceiling.
女性将在2020结果中扮演重要角色，包括是否女性会打破总统瓶颈。
