Hillary laughs like she's an astronaut trying to convince NASA she hasn't been infected with alien mind-control spores.

"What SPORES? Spores, me? Hah hah HAAH hah HAAH hah... *uncertain look* Haaaaah?"

True, she has a fake laugh, probably because her parents got on her case about laughing in a "ladylike" manner when she was young. I missed out on that personally, but lots of women in my generation didn't.

Whenever someone points out something Hillary fans don't like, this is the go-to solution.

Her supporters have a history of calling things sexist to deflect from the issues that people bring up, similar to the way Hillary's cackle deflects from issues. There is also a history of calling non-Hillary supporters misogynists is order to shield her from criticism. Therefore complaints about sexism should be met with derision and dismissed.

When it's misused, it loses its meaning. Hillary and her supporters have robbed the term of all its meaning and should not be taken seriously.
