No you are missing the point.
She said she will not pander women to promote her, yet she used a woman's symbol to promote her presidency.
But lets not stop there with her contradiction... She said she will talk with the Supreme Leader of Iran and push our sanctions to force them into submission, yet when she was CEO of HP, she bypassed American Sanctions to sell hundreds of millions in computer parts to Iran. She said she ran a successful corporation, yet the most respected economist in yale said she was the worst by devaluing the company in half and making 100 million in process.
Here is a great bit to read... She even lies about her upbringing. Sound familiar?

She has staked her claim to the American dream on her rise from secretary to CEO and made it the platform from which she has launched countless speeches as a would-be presidential candidate.
But now Carly Fiorina's story has been put in doubt by the man she was with at the very start of her rise.
Todd Bartlem, who went on to become Fiorina's first husband, accuses her of creating a misleading mythology and 'losing her humanity' for a 'pathological' pursuit of power.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail Online, he said: 'It's not like she was a secretary for 15 years and rose up. She dropped out of law school, she settled on business school. It was all very planned.
'She's a very calculating person and her risks paid off but whenever I read descriptions about her life there'd always be this bit that she rose from a secretary at a real estate company to the head of AT&T…
'I mean she had a part-time position when she quit law school and she had to have money to pay the rent, so she worked as a secretary to a real estate firm in Palo Alto, but it was incidental.'

Indeed, Fiorina, 60 - who claimed to have 'lived the American dream' with a seamless rise from secretary to the upper echelons of AT&T and then CEO of Hewlett Packard - had a very comfortable upbringing.
Fiorina's mother, Madelon, was an abstract artist and her father, Joseph Sneed, was a legal academic who went on to be appointed a federal judge by Richard Nixon. Carly was their middle child of three.
On the
Carly For America campaign website - run not by her staff but by a political action committee that supports her candidacy - she is quoted as saying her childhood was 'modest' and 'middle class'.
In fact her childhood saw her travel from California to North Carolina to London and Ghana as her father took up academic positions at Cornell, Yale, Stanford and Duke. Carly then attended Stanford University in California, where she majored in medieval history and philosophy.
It was there that she met Bartlem, now 61.
After graduating, Fiorina enrolled at UCLA Law School to please her father. But she had no interest in law and hated every minute of it.
Much to her father's dismay – she has recounted that he worried she would 'never amount to anything' – she quit after a few months. And then for the next few months she worked as a secretary before marrying Bartlem in 1977 and moving with him to Italy, where he had a job teaching with Johns Hopkins University.
