WASHINGTON (AP) — Jill Biden on Wednesday praised a group of women from around the world, including those who have been protesting against Iran’s leaders, for showing courage while fighting for their rights and called on men to “be partners” with women and support them in their cause.

“As much as we need women who are willing to speak up, we need more men who are willing to listen and act,” the first lady said.

“We need more men to hold each other accountable when their sisters are being hurt or left behind,” she said at a White House ceremony for the 2023 recipients of the International Women of Courage Awards. “We need more men who nurture families, who feed and teach and mentor, who build safer communities. We need more men who know that caring, collaboration and kindness are signs of strength, not weakness.

“Men, we need you to support the women who are fighting for their rights and to lift up those who have been silenced,” she continued. “Be partners, be partners with women. Become the ‘men of courage’ we need. Only then will we be able to build a world where men and women are equal and all people are free.”

Who gives a shiite what that old slut says?

Women that screw around and leave their husbands should be shunned, not listened to.

Kinda implies women can’t do it without men. So nope.

Besides what women think are rights is basically one sided and wanting to keep all their special privileges. So again, nope.

So says a woman who doesn’t know what a woman is. Like Rush Limbaugh, I have always been behind women. (So A Sexist Would Say!)

I support women’s rights. Specifically the right of women to not be murdered in the womb.

"Men? Women?"

Yeah... What's that all about? First they want this, then they want that. No hers nor his, only then, they, their, those, that and such....

I will support women as soon as women stop voting to destroy men.
