Playing the Female Card

"Clearly, I'm not asking people to vote for me simply because I'm a woman,'  Clinton responded. 'I'm asking people to vote for me on the merits.'  Then she added: "I think one of the merits is I am a woman. And I can bring those views and perspectives to the White House.'"

Here's the definition of merit: "the quality of being particularly good or worthy, especially so as to deserve praise or reward." Since when is being a woman considered a merit? This shows how desperate she is and how flimsy her resume is if she has to play the female card.
