Clinton has advocated for helping women who are in prison because 1. US Women are 5% of the world's population of women. Yet US Women are 30% of the world's prison population.
2. Women going to prison are 5x as likely to have to put a child into foster care than men.
3. Women are not given respect when going through pregnancy or menstrual cycles. She has not said she was only helping women but that women need more attention in this process. [0]: http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/27/opinions/hillary-clinton-women... |

2. One sexist system being used to justify another.
3. Prisoners aren't given respect. Nothing special about either of those conditions that make it stand out any more than all the recent cases of prisoners with medical needs dying because of disrespect.
Saying women need more help is not just sexist, it is so incredibly and blatantly sexist that any educated person that agrees can have significant judgments made about their views in regards to sexism.
Here, let me give an example.
1. Whites in the US are X percent of the total white population but white US prisoners are >X percent of the total white prisoners.
2. Whites going to prison are more likely to be an active patent to a child, meaning the child will be instead raised in a single parent family or go to foster care.
3. Whites in prison aren't respected.
Thus, whites in prison need more special treatment to help them more than minorities.
Anyone seriously giving the above argument, who was also educated in the racial disparity in prison, would clearly be acting racist.
