Fresh off endorsing a woman to succeed him in the Oval Office, President Barack Obama stood before 5,000 convened as part of a White House summit on women and delivered his most robustly feminist speech yet.
"I may be a little grayer than I was eight years ago," Obama told the advocates. "But this is what a feminist looks like."
While he said little about the presidential election, Obama's words implicitly drew a contrast between the majority-female, diverse Democratic coalition and the party of Trump.
"You hear politicians peddle the fiction that blocking immigrants or cutting off trade or 'big government' are all to blame" for economic hardship, Obama said. "But we know what the causes are: The rise of global competition, the weakening of the labor movement and participation in unions, the automation of more jobs, the race of technology — all these trends have the potential of leaving workers behind. They let a few at the top do even better. And we see some of those divisions not just between groups, but within groups. There are women who have never had more opportunity, but there are a lot of women who are still stuck in the toughest of economic circumstances."
Obama said that his daughter Malia's high school graduation last week — here, he recreated a half-suppressed whimper — led him to reflect on "this extraordinary time for women in America."
Charting the progress of women since his birth, from access to contraception to women in space, Obama said, "We have to celebrate it, but we have to remember that progress is not inevitable. It's the result of slow, tireless, often frustrating and unheralded work."
