First First (sic) Lady Michelle Obama is interviewed by poet Elizabeth Alexander at the first annual Obama Foundation Summit on Wednesday where she talked about the dilemma of raising "strong men" and warned of the potential problems that may ensue in the future. She also said that men should talk to each other (Full speech at bottom of post)
"It's like the problem in the world today is we love our boys, and we raise our girls. you know. We raise them to be strong, and sometimes we take care not to hurt men and I think we pay for that a little bit and that's a 'we' thing because we raise them," Obama said about raising boys into men.
"It's powerful to have strong men but what does that strength mean?" she asked. "You know, does it mean respect? Does it mean responsibility? Does it mean compassion? Or are we protecting our men too much so they feel a little entitled and a little, you know, a little self-righteous sometimes? But, thats kind of on us too as women and mothers, you know, as we nurture men and push girls to be perfect."

Strong men can't be respectful to women/girls. Strong men can't have responsibilities or compassion. Strong men are too self-righteous.
????? WHERE does it even come from? This twisted soul.
Who in the world would take the advice of a woman who married Barack Obama and who has no sons?
Babbling nonsense....
She is describing toxic masculinity, not strong men. I wouldn’t call bullying and other behaviors of toxic masculinity strong or brave either.
Is Kevin Spacy a strong man?
[Obama, before offering her solution, said her own husband, former President Barack Obama, can fall victim to being “entitled, a little self-righteous” as a “strong man.”]
MICHELLE’S standard for a “strong man”.
Patent Bullshit from a quintessential wannabe. MORON,
Please!
“Toxic masculinity” is just SJWs (mostly young angry white women and some patsy white men) invention.
Bullying is not gender specific.
Exactly, Chewbacca raised two daughters, she has no sons. And actually, her mother raised Malia and Sasha for over 8 years.
What the H does she know about raising daughters or sons?
But watch the video, Chewbacca goes in and out of “Girlfriend” mode, chatting away with the other girlfriends.
My feeling exactly. I dont think she was successful raising her daughters either.
Chewbacca was interviewed by a “poet” at this leftard “women’s forum.”
And these women wonder why no one takes them seriously LMAO.
Satan doesn’t like it, so she doesn’t either.
Well, that’s it though right. An abuser or a bully is not exactly a strong person, right? There are abusers, but the SJWs run on this stereotypical assumption. Okay, I used the wrong words to you, but bullying or abusive doesn’t equal a strong man. There are and have been strong men who weren’t bullies or who at least had some decent etiquette to them. And even today, there are, but the narrative of the radical leftists wants to leave out the decent guys to keep pushing their “war drums” narrative.
Yes...exactly...
Hey Moochelle, maybe you can give the girlfriends some advice on how to find the perfect man like the one “Rev” Jeremiah Wright found for you.
It comes from black culture; the Obamas spent 8 years talking to blacks while ignoring everyone else. They know nothing else but black culture...
`”toxic masculinity”???
I find it incredible that you so readily accept and incorporate the Leftists terminology.
In case you don’t know, large segments of girls bully other girls.
