Does the release of this historic photo somehow damage women's equality?

When I first saw the photo, I thought "Damn Hilary, why'd you do that". It definitely makes the people who campaigned against her prove that she would make decisions in the white house based on emotions, not logic as they thought. I would've reacted the same way because I'm your typical woman who pukes at the sight of blood and squeaks when she sees a bug. But why O why Hil did you put that hand over your mouth? I was so ready to campaign for her again. Lol. And she definitely wasn't putting her hand over her mouth for a cold. You can tell by her facial expression.
