How much of Clinton's failure do you think is due to her being a woman?

Yes, because she's a woman. If it was Donald Trump's face on exactly Hillary Clinton's words and actions, running vs the real Donald Trump, the majority of America would have voted the Hillary version.

I'm a woman and I think it had plenty to do with it. It's a subconscious bias that's underlying everything, from the moment she announced she was running and it was characterized as a "crazy" decision. People are not going to admit it or may not even realize it (hence, subconscious), but it can be detected in how much she was "hated" even before the scandals during the campaign, the amount of scrutiny she got for things that her male predecessors did and no one batted an eyelash, the fact that she was exonerated for a lot of things but the public still has their pitchforks out. There are some people who can't imagine a female president, and are willing to forgive Trump for a lot of the character flaws that they're hanging over Clinton (like the whole lying thing - Trump lies way more than Clinton but somehow that doesn't seem to bother these people).

Hillary lost to Trump... She will (deservedly) be considered one of the worst presidential candidates in history and it's not about her being a woman.

I'm with EY3, you are the sexist! It's people like you who just want to complain and have something to blame stuff on...zero accountability, zero class, zero dignity. This race was HRC's to lose. Her campaign and her voters discounted the underdog candidate. It has nothing to do with her being a woman. Smh.

Whoever said it was trustworthiness and scandals. Do you not read the news? Trump had flipped on several issues.

K1- Luckily, Seth Meyers did the work for us by summarizing:

Trump: called Mexicans rapists, claimed the president was born in Kenya, proposed banning an entire religion from entering the US, mocked a disabled reporter, said John McCain wasn’t a war hero because he was captured, attacked the parents of a fallen soldier, bragged about committing sexual assault, was accused by 12 women of committing sexual assault, said some of those women weren’t attractive for him to sexually assault, said more countries should get nukes, said that he would force the military to commit war crimes, said a judge was biased because his parents were Mexicans, said women should be punished for having abortions, incited violence at his rallies, called global warming a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese, called for his opponent to be jailed, declared bankruptcy six times, bragged about not paying income taxes, stiffed his contractors and employees, lost a billion dollars in one year, scammed customers at his fake university, bought a six-foot-tall painting of himself with money from his fake foundation, has a trial for fraud coming up in November, insulted an opponent’s looks, insulted an opponent’s wife’s looks, and bragged about grabbing women by the pussy.

Do people tend to age out of wanting to FIRE?

In your 20s-30s, you don’t know much, you’re told what to do, you have few financial resources so you are tied to your job. Under these circumstances it makes perfect sense why you would want to FIRE asap.

But eventually you advance up the ladder, you are now the boss and your people do all the grunt work. You also have built up expertise which makes the job easier. And you are making the best money of your life. FIRE is no longer so pressing.
