28. Vast amounts.
I've lost track of the number of attacks on her that would never, ever have been launched at a male candidate.

Many left-wingers are "opposed to sexism" as a matter of tribe warfare, not on underlying moral principle; they line up on the side labelled "anti-sexist" or "feminist" on issues where left fights right, because that's the side their gang is on rather than because it's the right thing to do. Sexist attacks on right-wingers aren't something covered by tribe warfare, so we see lots of them.
