What about the way Islam, the favorite religion of your husband, views women? Nothing more than chattel.

In the west, “forcing” a woman to pay the $10/month for birth control pills out of her own pocket is “war on women”.

In Islam, raping millions of 9 year old girls, subjugating hundreds of millions of women and girls to abject slavery...

...crickets.

War on Women or ...crickets...

Which is more important to YOU?

We still struggle with ... harmful cultural norms that tell woman(sic) how they are expected to look and act

Well, thankfully Michelle Obama does not feel constrained by cultural norms about how women are expected to look and act, or by cultural norms about what should or shouldn't make a First Lady proud to be an American...

Oh you poor, poor womyn victims. How have you survived all these years in backwards America where men have had their boots on the backs of your necks for so long.

Such a tragedy that womyn are so awfully oppressed. And I notice that they are even more oppressed (like clockwork) about every two years around election time.

Oh, how have you survived you womyn of such great suffering?

Oh, those harmful cultural norms! Yup, I suffer from it every day.

As Paglia said, we’d all be living in grass huts if it wasn’t for men.

She and her husband are always ready to criticize their own country and the people in it, especially in a hypocrite-infested hole like the United Nations.

Don’t they ever get tired of whining? As if men don’t get subjugated too, often worse. But we don’t talk about it, they monopolize the complaint stage, and the squeaky wheel gets the grease. I just wonder if they ever realize how undignified they are.

MO is just another Christian hater.
“Women’s rights”, in the mouths of leftists, doesn’t mean “women’s rights” - it means “we hate Christian morality”.

If Moochelle and the pResident don’t like it why don’t they just leave? Hell, she might really like Saudi Arabia.

I stopped reading at “First Lady...” More like “Worst Lady”. It isn’t good to go through life angry inside & out and self-loathing, mooch-elle.

I’d love to see Moo-chelle debate the likes of Christina Hoff Sommers and then loose her school lunch on them apples!

There is a close congressional race in my area. A lot of outside Democrat money is paying for ads showing women bi-itching about getting paid 75% of what men get paid. Add to this the NFL wife beating story getting played ad-nauseum and you get “WAR ON WOMEN WAR ON WOMEN WAR ON WOMEN.” The Democrats have got nothing new.
