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.”
