I have found that frequently - when a woman attains a position of authority or power in most nations, it is common to attack her "sexuality" to degrade her contbutions by alluding to a sexual route to success.

For males, "sleeping your way to the top" is often seen as a "badge of honour" for the wealthy and powerful. Not so, for women. The exception seems to be for males who, for one reason or another, choose to sleep with the same sex.

Oddly enough, women are frequently in the group that deminishes the positive contribution of successful women-their intelligence, skills, contributions, by attacking their sexual history, their good looks, and their choice of "nice things" that their success enables them to enjoy.
