If I have to find one good thing in this it's that Hillary's candidacy, and the reactions to it, have made us more aware of just how rampant sexism still is, and hopefully made us more willing to speak up and try to change the language and the attitudes.

I agree. I think it's waking up a lot of people who were complacent before. Unfortunately, the people who need to hear it most are still pretty resistant to it (see: the Wil Wheaton disclaimer). But the more we speak up, the harder it is for them to ignore us.
