Where did all the real feminists go - why are they not defending Michelle Obama against slurs worse than Mrs Clinton ever heard?
I have defended Michelle Obama against certain slurs but for the most part the criticism against her doesn't seem to be primarily sexist as it was against Hillary Clinton.
Feminism is about the rights of women but I don't see it as being compelled to defend every woman no matter what. When I see sexism directed towards women, I tend to defend them.
So is there some particular sexist attack directed towards Michelle Obama to are referring? How as sexist slurs are they worse than Hillary Clinton has endured? Have the said she is "pimping out" her daughters?
