Am I off-base? Do you think this is 'sexist crap'?

I didn't when I posted, but am now wondering if the author is way off (I don't think so, judging from that first para. which really annoyed me).

1. No I don't

I don't think anything sexist about the article. It mentions nothing about being a woman - just where she stands on issues.

My question, is all of this true? Did she really have the anti-war demonstrators arrested. If all of what the article says is true, I have more reasons not to vote for her.

Code Pink Activists Call on Clinton to Oppose War
Capitol Hill was also the site of more protest. Activists with the group Code Pink occupied the office of New York Senator Hillary Clinton calling on the presidential hopeful to oppose the Iraq war. One banner said: “We want a woman for peace, not just a woman.” Six people were arrested.

3. Code Pink describes its own organization as

"Women for Peace," so this was probably just a play on that. I don't think it's particularly sexist.
