My favorite cry-wolf of "Sexism!" so far is the inimitable Geraldine Ferraro, who recently in an interview with Fox News (!) proclaimed that Obama's Jay-Z move of brushing dirt off his shoulder (in reference to the Philadelphia debate) was a sexist gesture meant to demean and diminish Senator Clinton.
