Debate Moderators Asked Not 1 but 3 Controversial Questions About Hillary Clinton's Gender

It's impossible for Hillary Clinton to escape that she is, in fact, a woman — a woman running for president. During Thursday night's PBS debate, moderator Judy Woodruff asked how she felt about running a campaign that appeals to women after they as a group did not vote for her in the New Hampshire primary.

"I have spent my entire adult life working toward making sure that women are empowered to make their own choices, even if that choice is not to vote for me," Clinton answered.

Not everyone was happy with the question.

She was then asked about Madeleine Albright's recent comments that there's a special place in hell for women who don't vote for her. Again, she reiterated that she was glad every woman (and man) had the right to vote.

Then Sanders entered the female-focused discussion when moderator Gwen Ifill asked if he would be thwarting history if he beat Clinton, alluding to Clinton being a woman. Again.

Sanders said because of his background and his platform, he would be creating history of his own. Indeed, he would be the first Jewish presidential candidate.

It's important to note this was the first time in US history that there were more women (Woodruff, Ifill, and Clinton) than men on stage during a presidential debate.

While some weren't happy that female moderators were the ones pressing Clinton on her gender, you could say they were the most appropriate people to do so.
