This sort of sexist crap makes me feel more sympathetic towards Hillary Clinton, even though I don't agree with her politics.
Way back in the day when Rush Limbaugh had a television show, he tried to do a stand up act one night and told a Hillary joke. It involved him and Hillary in an elevator and she starts to come on to him, saying "Rush, I want you to make me feel like a woman." He goes on and on about how he's disrobing there in the elevator, and guess what the punchline is?
"Iron my shirt."
Now it's unlikely that these rightwing hecklers in that audience would remember that, but I'll bet ol' Rush has repeated that joke more than once since the campaign started. It's his kind of humor, and it appeals to the misogynists who make up his audience.
It's also a perfect example of the kind of misogynist crap Clinton has to deal with. It's still not going to get me to vote for her, but it certainly will make me defend her when necessary.
