No, Obama hasn't acted like that, but if he had, would we be speaking about him in the same terms? That was the point I was trying to make -- in an alternate universe, where Obama was pulling "win at any cost" tricks, no one would be pulling out gendered insults because "win at any cost" is behavior we expect from men. But when women do the same thing, suddenly it's unnatural/psycho/wrong. That's why I called sexism.
