I don’t think I agree, recently at least. I can instantly think of several male examples (Trump’s orange, Vance looks like a thumb, how can Musk be SO white), but relatively few female examples (Hillary’s powersuit maybe?). Perhaps just where we put our attention, or how polarised everyone is that this type of comment will always come up, but I don’t think it’s as gendered of an issue as it was. At least not as related to politics.
On a related note, I also hadn’t come across Hillary’s cankles, but had enjoyed much laughter at McConnell’s skin sack lol

Congrats, one instance found. My question was which do you hear “more” about.

I hear more about Mitch McConnel, aka the turtle, than Hillary. And that’s taking into account how much my wife loathes Hillary.
Today was the first time I’ve seen anyone mention Hillary’s cankles.

It’s amazing trying to convince people that sexism in fact exists. On the one hand, you have the overwhelming reality of the facts on your side. But against you, there is also unlimited head-in-the-sand excuses.
So I think I’ll just gesture vaguely at everything and let you figure it out.
