“We don’t think these things are negative, and critical for a woman,” Carothers says. After all, you need to be pretty tough to have stainless steel thighs.

At first, he only got six negative emails. “Women purchased the item but this was not something that men necessarily wanted. Women wanted it,” he says. He claims, ironically, people would say if they were Hillary, they’d have one on their desk for every time a man walked in her office. “Lots of people who supported Hillary bought them. They made a poster of the Hillary nutcracker at Texas Headquarters,” he says.

All the controversy over the sexism came later. “Since she lost, her supporters – the traditional feminists, the Gloria Steinems of the world -- they act like Hillary’s been an example of sexism. What they remember is the Hillary Nutcracker,” he says. “All of the sudden, the Hillary Nutcracker is the reason she lost the election.”
