New York (AFP) - Hillary Clinton said Thursday that misogyny "certainly" played a role in her bruising defeat to Donald Trump in last year's US presidential election, giving her first public interview since that shock loss.
"I don't know that there is one answer," she told the Women in the World Summit in New York when asked why a majority of white women voted for a Republican who had boasted of groping women.
"Certainly misogyny played a role, I mean that just has to be admitted," added the former secretary of state, who was treated to an ecstatic welcome and standing ovation from the crowd.
"I think in this election there was a very real struggle between what is viewed as change that is welcomed and exciting to so many Americans and change which is worrisome and threatening to so many others.
"And layer on the first woman president over that and I think some people, women included, had real problems," she told a New York Times journalist at the ticketed women's empowerment event held each year.
While the vastly experienced Clinton won the popular vote, she lost the electoral college to the businessman who had never previously held public office, upending the world and the US political establishment.
Having dreamt for years of making history as America's first woman president, Clinton admitted the aftermath had been "devastating."

She is so messed up in the head
Yeah too bad she didn’t have a black on the ticket then she could call us all racists. Oh wait, she does that.
We don’t know that she “won the popular vote,” because we don’t elect presidents that way. Otherwise, ALL OF THE VOTES WOULD HAVE BEEN COUNTED.
Well, then, next time self-identify as a man and let us know how that works out for you.
I love that they call her, ‘Former’ this-n-that, but it should be, ‘FAILED’ this-n-that.
And NOW, when she couldn’t pack a High School Gym while running for Prez, she’s drawing capacity crowds?
Yep. Sure. Whatever. *SMIRK*
There she is as usual, lying her ass off. She damn well knows she lost because of he criminal activity not to mention she sat on her fat cankle supported ass while Trump busted his. God help I cannot this woman, she never takes responsibility for ANYTHING, it’s always someone else’s fault.
How about because you ran a terrible campaign and people don’t like you?
Naaaaaaah
She’s right.
I got a Misoge right before I voted.
Loosened up the shoulders and helped me make it to the voting booth to cast my vote.
If that “joke” doesn’t get me kicked off, nothing will.
Miss Ogyny? Isn’t that title transsexuals covet the most at their beauty pageants?
It will always be the battle of the aggrieved groups with these leftists. If they run out of them, they’ll make more.
OMG - is this failed politico EVER going to get over it?
While misogyny applies to both genders it is typically associated with ‘men appressing women’, yet the crux the article is about how women by large margins rejected her, but her argument is ‘I lost because I’m a woman’. I’m not so blind to completely reject the possibility that misogyny played a part, albeit a very minuscule part in her lose, there’s a whole heap of other reason higher up on the list.
Women don’t like women. It’s a catty thing.
Whack job.
I would have voted for the Sarah Palin, Tulsi Gabaard or Niki Haley if they had run...
Well of course it did,Hillary,it certainly wasn’t because you are a liar and a money grabbing jerk.

“..why a majority of white women voted for a Republican who had boasted of groping women.”
