Well, duh. Give me some credit here, I'm not some idiot that can't tell when something is sexism with another name.

However, naming things like Clinton Foundation donations from Saudi Arabia, her $250k speeches, the way she colluded with her Super PACs and the bias of the DNC, and her admiration and approval of Kissinger are not related to her gender and those are the most common reasons I hear. Maybe they could somehow in some convoluted way lead back to her having a vagina but somehow I don't these reasons are rooted in that.

Plus, most of them are voting for Stein or holding their nose and voting for Hillary even if they don't trust her. Distrust is rampant, don't equate distrust of Hillary with a vote for Trump.

I'm the person from below who said it was a double standard. Let's just look at a couple of your points.

Clinton's charity. You are aware, I hope, that Clinton's charity is miles better than Trump's right?
http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/inq-phillydeals/Charity-watchdog-compares-Clinton-Trump-foundations.html
"Specifically, Trump listed nearly 3,000 rounds of golf as charitable gifts, even though some of the golf passes were given to his business clients and wealthy celebrities."
"“There are no instances I know of where Clinton was doing the bidding of a donor or benefactor,” former New York Times editor Jill Abramson recently concluded, as she pushed back on the media’s conventional wisdom about Clinton being untrustworthy."
http://www.salon.com/2016/04/16/the_charity_double_standard_partner/
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/how-donald-trump-retooled-his-charity-to-spend-other-peoples-money/2016/09/10/da8cce64-75df-11e6-8149-b8d05321db62_story.html
"Donald Trump spent more than a quarter-million dollars from his charitable foundation to settle lawsuits that involved the billionaire’s for-profit businesses, according to interviews and a review of legal documents."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-used-258000-from-his-charity-to-settle-legal-problems/2016/09/20/adc88f9c-7d11-11e6-ac8e-cf8e0dd91dc7_story.html
The NY Attorney General's office has even opened an investigation into Trump's charity http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/new-york-attorney-general-opens-inquiry-into-trump-foundation-228125

Oh, and getting 250k for a speech? You are aware that Trump can make up to 1.5 million for a speech, right? http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/washingtons-highest-lowest-speaking-fees/story?id=24551590 and http://www.businessinsider.com/how-much-donald-trump-makes-speaking-fees-compared-everyone-else-2015-8

And I don't feel like doing more research, as those alone should be enough to show there is a double standard. Clinton is crucified for something Trump actually does. I'm sure it has nothing to do with gender or anything.

My reply to you below is the same one as I'll make here.

Them distrusting Hillary doesn't mean they trust Trump, though? Why are you making that leap? It's not a double standard if they don't trust both, and all of them don't trust both.

And again, many of them are voting for Stein or Hillary. Distrust doesn't mean they won't vote for her. It means they don't trust her. They can easily believe that Trump is worse. It's not all black and white and Good and Evil, chill out.
