I don't know why it was such a shock. For starters, she's just not very likable. Couple that with the fact that many women of Gen X and Y (and a smidge older) probably don't have drive to put a woman in the Oval Office simply because she has ovaries. We weren't privy to the struggles of gaining equality like the older generations were. We had strong, competent women to look up to, like Sally Ride, Madeleine Albright, et al, and know deep down that it will be possible and probable that a woman will be president, because we were brought up with the message (and the proof) that women can be anything they want to be.
