Did Sexism Hurt Hillary?
 
  Not as much as it helped her.
Surely she lost some votes due to sexism. Yes there were sexist remarks. By all accounts these gained her tons of votes.
Yes more women voted for her than did men—almost entirely because women voted for her because she was a woman. That was not mainly a sexist vote--thinking women are better than men--but some of it was.
What does Gallup tell us? In most polls it's impossible to tell if Clinton got more votes from women because they voted for a woman or if men voted against a woman. But there is one case where it's clear
Non-college men went for Hillary over Barack 50 to 42.
College educated men went for Hillary only 30 to 64 for Barack.
So either working-class men have just become big-time feminists, and educated men have turned really sexist, OR the explanation lies with the women not the men. College educated men--like working class men--showed little if any bias, but women voted for Hilary because she was a woman by 22% (working class) and 35% (college educated).

Strangely, her most sexist sounding critics in the press are women
Though I don't believe they are sexist--you decide.
