Could you tell me why you feel so? Your parent was deriding that tweet as well. It's definitely cringe-y, but why/how would the media/others tear it apart?

I guess I'd put it this way, at the risk of undermining my own point: appealing to group identity is demeaning to us all as individuals, and perhaps to women most of all.
The air of entitlement associated with a statement like "Vote for me because I'm a female" is very hard to get past. That's why I was hoping that the "Woman Card" was some kind of ironic in-joke. And it sounds like that's the case, intended to play off an offensive statement from the Trump camp.
But if so, what's it doing at the top of the NYT home page?
Trump does little else but play identity politics. Clinton is betting Don't Pass/Don't Come, that's all.
What is it doing at the top of the NYT home page? For how long? Looking at the NYT home page now, there's a Prince story, and under "Election 2016" there are these headlines
With Trump in Charge, G.O.P. Has a Day of Reckoning
Reaching Out, Quietly, to G.O.P. Establishment
The Republican Horse Race Is Over, and Journalism Lost

It was an ad, so no, I wouldn't expect you to see it at any given arbitrary moment in time.
I honestly couldn't tell if that was some kind of Joe Job. I'm still not sure I understand. The pink "Woman Card" was presented in an NYT ad yesterday as a perfectly straight, well-polished and unironic appeal to donors. Most offensive thing I've ever seen in a mainstream news outlet.
What in the world is she thinking? This is not how you "get in front of the story." This is how you get in front of a bulldozer.
