Still, criticizing Trump as sexist could play well with women, particularly baby boomers who have had to deal with glass ceilings for much of their lives, observers say.
“I think she and her surrogates and other informed parties might definitely be able to put their finger on narratives coming out of the Trump campaign or the media in general that could be labeled sexist,” said Katherine Jellison, a professor of history at Ohio University.
Jellison acknowledged the strategy could backfire with blue-collar men, adding that millennial women also “might have some difficulty relating to the versions of sexism that Hillary Clinton or her campaign might call out.”
