Feminist icon Gloria Steinem said Friday that she believes Hillary Clinton's low favorability ratings are at least partially due to her being a woman.
She said that isn't the only reason the Democratic nominee has hit her lowest approval ratings in 24 years, but the subliminal connections associated with her and her womanhood affect public perception.
"As children, most of us are raised by women, so we may tend to associate female authority with childhood. We see it as emotional, overwhelming, perhaps inappropriate to public life, not rational enough," Steinem told the Hollywood Reporter.
"You can see that in some of the media coverage from otherwise mature, grown-up men, who are saying things like, 'I cross my legs whenever I see her. She reminds me of my first wife asking for alimony.' They are responding to the last time they saw a powerful woman. They feel unmanned. I don't think it's conscious, but I think it's present. It's not going to be easy. It's a very big change."

And the Media attacks Trump only because he is a man.
What other explanation could there possibly be??
No. She has low approval numbers because she is a congenital liar, a failure as a Senator, and an incompetent as a Secretary of State.
She has low approval numbers — because she earned them.
Shut up and make me a Gaw-Dam Sammich, Steinem.
F.U., Gloria, you are delusional. Hillary has such problems because she is a malicious, dishonest, corrupt, inept, over-rated, undeserving, CRIMINAL hack.
The only reasons her favorability gets above ZERO is because (1) 40% of Americans are libtards who will vote for a cabbage if it’s registered Democrat, and (2) the Mediascum constantly protects and promotes her.
No No, according to liberal loons, you cant be a real woman unless you are pro baby murder and of course a liberal
LOL, the important question, of course is, would you......?
LOL...I was just getting ready to post that!!!!!
Gloria go make me a samich
no, Gloria.
Hilliary has a low rating beacuse she’s a super-sized crook and liar.
Woman or not, Hillary is a lying, crooked, deceitful, greedy,
seller of influence for profit.
Do we really want to hand the reins of power to this evil excuse for a human being???
That’s no joke ... and I don’t believe in vampires and such.
Better safe than sorry. ;-)
“They are responding to the last time they saw a powerful woman.”
Strange. When I see Hillary, I don’t see a powerful woman. I see a lying, conniving troll.
Yup, that’s the reason I’m single again; I’m always wearing garlic around my neck.
So predictable......
And here I thought she was beating everyone???
LOL
Stay safe!
America needs Hillary like a fish needs a bicycle
Which is why Great Britain, India, Korea, Argentina and Israel have never had a woman as an elected leader.
