First Lady Michelle Obama has been the victim of sexism, she said Wednesday, because men used to whistle at her while she walked down the street.
“As I got older, I found that men would whistle at me or make comments about how I looked as I walked down the street as if my body were their property, as if I were an object to be commented on instead of a full human being with thoughts and feelings of my own,” Obama said during a speech at the “Let Girls Learn” initiative in Argentina.
Obama, who launched “Let Girls Learn” last year, traveled to Argentina with President Obama and their daughters after visiting Cuba earlier this week.

Bovine Scatology. Or should I say bigfoot scatology?
Used to whistle at her? You mean like cowboys who whistle at cattle to get them back into the herd?
It's amusing how the media fawn over her and her "wardrobe".
LOL!!
I believe this is her subconscious speaking about what she wishes had happened, not what did happen.
She, and her husband, are chronic liars.
Nah, I was thinking more along the lines of Brad Pitt’s character from the movie Kalifornia...
“Damn, you see that woman? She was butt ugly, and hairy too.....
(Yells out) Hey! Shave that dawg ‘n teach it to hunt!”
Was that an example of “dog whistling”?
I do not want to think about what Moochelle would do with that ...
“Yeah, Whistle......like calling a dog.”
Possibly trying to get their terrified seeing eye dog to return.
Despite her insistence that she's proud of being black, she seems to have done a lot to make her features more Caucasian. If she feels insecure about her exterior appearance it might explain why she seems so angry all the time.
If the whistle is above the range of human hearing, is it still a whistle?
I simply don’t think it is a cultural thing in the USA. When I was 13 we might verbally ogle a girl, but that stopped really quick when you realized that not only was it not going to help you meet her, it made you look like a dipstick.
That, and your friends saying “Will you shut up? You make us look like idiots!”
I did not know one single guy after being a pubescent teenager who even did anything at all like that, and that includes four years in the Navy with a lot of guys who were prone to alcohol abuse and the prospective charms of female companionship.
That isn’t to say guys won’t ogle a woman visually, but most grown Americans aren’t going to stick out their tongue, whistle, or say “Hubba hubba” except maybe to each other when the woman is gone.
These people are deranged.
Now, when my family went to Italy back in the early seventies, my mother was dressed all in black with her Jackie O sunglasses and had us six kids in tow, and there were a lot of Italian men who were making a lot of sounds and gestures as she walked by. (My dad was at the Embassy trying to get a space-available flight for us back to the USA on the Military Airlift Command, but it was an impossible task)
Someone told her that being unaccompanied, wearing black and having lots of kids in tow meant something very specific to Italian men...
Best evidence I’ve seen that it’s MICHAEL... not Michelle.

Alas, poor Moochie! She actually got whistled at, that's almost as bad as rape!
Or so she claims. Of course, if it actually happened, she probably took it as a compliment, because as everyone knows, all it means is somebody thinks you're hot. But that was then, this is now.
However, that must have been a few decades ago, because you are DEFINITELY not hot now, and I guarantee you'll never ever have to worry about that happening again.
Yes her pants made her butt look big!-)
Which end does she blow that? Yikes!!!!!
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little...
That was funny.
Thanks for your post, which makes sense and made me laugh, especially the line, “These people are deranged.” I also got a kick out of the visual of your mother with six children in tow being whistled at. She may have been flattered!
