13. Actually, that isn't true

because the other side of gender bias is that for a woman to even be considered, she has to be far more accomplished than a man.

Then, she has to be tough enough to weather the comments about how she shouldn't run because (insert reason that boils down to: she isn't a man).

She also will have to weather "news" organizations picking apart her looks, her relationships, pretty much everything in her life to an extent that a man would NEVER have to tolerate.
