You guys have to remember that emailgate wouldn't have been an issue if Hillary were male. Bush also did the exact same thing Hillary did and used a private email server, but nobody cared. Donald Trump was unarguably more corrupt than Hillary. Donald Trump had a plethora of scandals such as Trump University, tax returns, his history of breaking labor laws, etc. The only major Hillary scandal was her emails. Yet, Hillary is perceived as more corrupt because gender effects the way people perceive things. Politics is all about perception, not reality. Humans are designed to judge females more harshly and we hold them to higher standards. It's why Trump's scandals were taken a lot less seriously even though they're arguably much worse.
Also, another major reason why Hillary lost was because many people were put-off by her personality. According to voter studies, many people voted against Hillary solely because she's unlikeable. Females who seek positions of leadership will always be seen as unlikeable. When a female acts strong/independent/tough, she's seen as a bitch. When a female acts feminine, she's seen as weak and not tough enough for leadership positions (like the presidency). It's a lose-lose situation.
Here's are two interesting articles on hidden sexism and the 2016 election:

Lol @ the notion that Hillary's gender was more of an asset than a liability. Hillary being female obviously hurt her more than it helped her. It's why her email scandal was taken seriously and nobody cared about Trump's scandals. It's why she was perceived as unlikeable and untrustworthy.
Then how did Margaret Thatcher get elected in the UK? How did Golda Meir get elected in Israel? How did Angela Merkel get elected in Germany? How did Christie Todd Whitman get elected governor in N.J?
