My reaction to 'Likeable enough' --- The recontextualisation involves extracting what was a funny quip from the context in which it was shared and appreciated by everybody present.

Everybody laughed, including Hillary's daughter. Hillary herself joins in the joke and uses a mocking voice about how hurt she is. In situ, the exchange works well.

Out of context, the words sound unkind.

I agree with you, Eric, that the original concern about Likeability is itself possibly sexist.
