(22,336 posts)But mainly because people who are sexist would be unlikely to answer it truthfully, so why even ask? Look at the evidence and decide from there. It's looking for a sound byte. It isn't a legitimate question, where an answer was expected.
Oh wait, I answered this as if you were a Hillary supporter. I didn't see who had written the OP. I assume from your user name you weren't trying to suggest it was a good question, so carry on! LOL!

The question was asked in a "do you beat your wife" kind of way. It wasn't a legitimate question, in that the question-asker did not really expect an answer, or care what the answer was.
