But instead, the presidential hopeful and former secretary of state faced the sort of sexism familiar to many of her contemporaries. Male critics across social media chided Clinton for "shouting" during her victory speech, urging her to smile and use a more "conversational" tone when speaking to her supporters.

These comments — much like the smugly uttered "You'd look so much prettier with a smile on that face" remarks familiar to many women who've dared rest their faces on public transit or the walk to work — are exactly the sort used frequently to silence and belittle women. One tweet in particular by MSNBC host Joe Scarborough has caused the most controversy.

After receiving flack for his tweet, Scarborough dubbed women's angry responses "fake outrage," which garnered even more criticism.

To have such comments echoed by White House media correspondents like Glenn Thrush was frustrating (to put it mildly) for Clinton's female and feminist-thinking peers.
