I’m a pro-choice feminist — and a Democrat — who just happened to vote for Donald Trump for president. And I resent Michelle Obama’s sneering, demeaning, strangely ignorant and massively sexist remarks about women, our reproductive systems and, especially, our vote.
In the latest episode of the podcast, “IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson,’’ the former first lady and lefty pro-abortion activist mounted her high horse and disgracefully disparaged a woman’s decision to exercise her right to choose what to do with her body. That is, when that choice is to have a baby.
On the podcast she shares with her celebricat brother, the 61-year-old mother of two daughters, insanely breathed strength into the pro-life crowd by declaring bizarrely that creating life is “the least” of what a woman’s reproductive system does.
“I attempted to make the argument on the campaign trail this past election was that there’s just so much more at stake and because so many men have no idea about what women go through,” Obama said, delving treacherously close to Democratic-style word salad. “Women’s reproductive health is about our life. It’s about this whole complicated reproductive system that the least of what it does is produce life.”
When does a reproductive system have nothing to do with reproduction?
Willful ignorance
Mrs. O showed stupendously willful ignorance about her fellow ladies’ inner workings.
“It’s a very important thing that it does, but you only produce life if the machine that’s producing it — if you want to whittle us down to a machine — is functioning in a healthy, streamlined kind of way,” Obama added.
I guess she missed that day in biology class.
Speaking with OB/GYN Dr. Sharon Malone, whose husband, Eric Holder, served as attorney general under former President Barack Obama, Michelle then took aim at the male of the species.
She attacked guys who, she said, “sit on their hands” over abortion and are choosing to “trade out women’s health for a tax break or whatever it is.’’
But the crescendo came when she denounced women like me of handing the election to President Trump because — get this — we were too stupid or timid to vote for the worst candidate ever to grace a ballot, simply because she is female.
In Obama’s world, we voted for Trump to please men.
Seriously?
“There are a lot of men who have big chairs at their tables, there are a lot of women who vote the way their man is going to vote,’’ she actually said. “It happened in this election.”
So there it is. Michelle Obama, pretend women’s rights warrior, is so condescending to the fairer sex, she insults millions of people bearing XX chromosomes by claiming they were merely trying to please “their’’ man by going for Trump.
Hey Michelle — sorry to stick a fork into your Trump Derangement Syndrome — but I, for one, simply voted my mind, my heart, my pocketbook and, yes, my reproductive organs. Despite Democratic hysteria, it’s clear to me that the president has no intention of eliminating abortion rights throughout this country.
Own opinions
There also exist many other issues that concern me. These include runaway crime, the largesse afforded by the previous presidential administration to countless numbers of illegal immigrants, including violent criminals.
There’s also epic inflation and unchecked antisemitism on college campuses and elsewhere. There’s more, but that’s a start.
In each case, things got so out of hand, I believed Trump had the best chance of saving this nation.
He couldn’t do any worse.
I’m no shrinking violet, Michelle. I believe in equal rights — for everyone.
And I believe my man is entitled to his own opinions.
