Hillary has undoubtedly faced unfair sexism from media, conservatives, mainstream dems, and Bernie bots.
However, the Clinton family is one of the most powerful political families in the entire world, no question, and probably the most powerful, well-connected family in Democratic politics. She's ing obviously in the establishment.
Being in the establishment doesn't automatically make you bad; Hillary's fought for some great things over the years. But researchers like Martin Gilens, Lessig, etc make powerful arguments for a sick, ailing democracy. Hillary is in a very comfortable position within that sick, ailing democracy - she could be pushed into heroic action, and if she was she has the genius to reform the political structure, but she'd have to be pushed really hard.
