It probably is a visceral reaction, but not because "intelligent, educated, outspoken women are considered a threat and are disliked and feared." I think that people who project their anxieties onto politics, also project onto political symbols. First ladies, although irrelevant, are still political symbols. Hillary Clinton was different because she became a legitimate political target after the "buy one, get one free" comment.
