The way Obama’s election made America’s racism more visible, more noticeable, and more acceptable to some, while less acceptable to others, so will Hillary’s election make America’s sexism more visible, more noticeable, and more acceptable to some, while less acceptable to others. The ‘more noticeable’ part after Obama’s election was mostly to white people, for Hillary, it will be mostly men. The people of color and the women, we’ve been there, we know. So do enough empathetic white people and men to make these things happen.

Edited to pluralize the last sentence.

To put it crudely, it seems that these foul political carbuncles need to come to a head before they (hopefully) get lanced.
