btw, I’d argue it died in 2016.

So many Dem voters traumatized at how first woman nominee was treated , too nervous to go down that road again
"Electability can't be discussed honestly if journalists aren't going to address what they did to the last woman nominee, and how that spectacle likely not only shred the faith in the press for lots of Democrats, but it also damaged the idea that a woman can get a fair shake"
"Assuming Clinton would defeat Trump, the press moved to make her campaign as unpleasant as possible and to make sure she limped across the finish line (Hacked emails! Email servers!), so there would be no historic victory lap for breaking the glass ceiling."
"In the end though, the press helped elect Trump. And instead of trying to just dent Clinton's victory, the press may have pushed back the dream of electing a woman president in the United States."
