Susan Sarandon on Friday said she didn’t feel obligated to vote for a female nominee because of her gender.

{mosads}”There are great women that I admire that have headed nations,” the actress told the BBC. “You’ve had a woman. I didn’t know how you felt about that. But I don’t vote with my vagina.”

Sarandon,who supported Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) over Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination, endorsed Green Party nominee Jill Stein earlier this week.

“Fear of Donald Trump is not enough for me to support Clinton, with her record of corruption,” she said in her endorsement letter.

“I want the right woman,” she added on Friday.

While she doubled down on her support for Stein, Sarandon acknowledged that Clinton is likely to win due to help from members of the media and support from “neoconservatives.”
