I grew up in Argentina, which has had female presidents for decades, and lived in two other countries which had female power figures at some point or another (England and Brazil.) I've lived at least two of the elections leading to a female presidents. I've never seen gender thrown into the discourse as much as in this election.

I can't even count the times I've heard "it's time for the first woman president" coming directly from her or her campaign people. Or the comparisons to "mi abuelita" (a maternal figure, of course.) Also, the whole notion that anyone who might oppose her is doing so from a purely misogynistic standpoint ("Bernie Bros", etc.) She definitely played identity politics a lot.
