"The little lady doesn't really know what she thinks. She tries, bless her heart, but she just can't seem to wrap her pretty little head around complex political issues. No, I'm not saying she's dumb. I'm just saying that she has a hard time figuring out the proper way to think."
That is the kind of sexist garbage that so-called "progressive" women usually rail against. When it comes from a male, they pounce on it, slap the speaker with the "mansplaining" label, and proceed to scream about misogyny.
They're right to do so. It seems ridiculous to even say this, but no one should assume women aren't smart enough to make up their own minds. Thankfully, this isn't some 50's sitcom, and "the little woman" doesn't just sit in the kitchen and wait to do as she's told.
...But apparently no one told Michelle Obama.
She seems to think that if you're female, and you voted against Hillary Clinton (or *gasp* FOR Donald Trump) you're an idiot who's just doing what someone else told you to do. You're not voting in your own best interest, you're not making your own decisions, and you probably don't even understand why you did what you did.
“Any woman who voted against Hillary Clinton voted against their own voice,” Obama said at the Inbound marketing conference in Boston, as reported by The Washington Times.
“It doesn’t say as much about Hillary, and everybody’s trying to worry about what it means for Hillary and no, no, no, what does this mean for us, as women?” she continued.
“That we look at those two candidates, as women, and many of us said, ‘He’s better for me. His voice is more true to me.’ To me that just says, you don’t like your voice. You like the thing you’re told to like.”
If anyone can explain to me how that's any different from intolerable "mansplaining," I'm all ears. Imagine if Rush Limbaugh said it. It would be the headline over at CNN and MSNBC until he was yanked off the air. ...Oh, and I'm sorry, but "she's a woman so it's OK" doesn't cut it. If Ann Coulter had said this, every feminist on Earth would be tearing her to shreds for it.
As you can see in the clip below, that's not going to happen. The media has a narrative to push. Her insulting, degrading, and arrogant comments will get five-minute talking head moment, followed by a free pass.
However, the fact remains that here's literally nothing in Mrs. Obama's remarks that couldn't have come from Archie Bunker or an angry Ricky Ricardo.
