Hillary is sexist for not saying that boys can one day become President, too.

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/07/trump-surrogate-scottie-nell-hughes-enraged-hillary-didnt-say-white-boys-can-be-president-too/

Donald Trump surrogate Scottie Nell Hughes lashed out at Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Wednesday for failing to acknowledge that boys could grow up to be president after her historic nomination.

...

“Hillary Clinton, when she was in that room of girls, said if you’re a daughter or if you’re a girl you could be president too,” Hughes observed, “this would have been an excellent opportunity to say, ‘You know what, whether you are a boy or a girl, both of you, my job will be to make sure it’s equally an option for both of you.'”

“That’s the problem,” she continued. “We’ve continued to say we want equality, we want equal but we then tear down one group and tried to build up another. That’s what I heard last night.”

Hughes remarks were met with quizzical looks from the CNN panel.

The inclusion of the hashtag, #allgendersmatter does have me wondering...

If so, this is blatantly ridiculous.

...that the word "too" in this context indicates that boys can be president.
