Talking about how she didn’t like how Michelle Obama said she was “Mom In Cheif” in her DNC speech.

umm… sorry thanks for smacking down Michelle Obama’s transformational existence in the name of Feminism.

Yes, there is a trope out there that exists that “women are mom’s first” and that should be the thing that is most important to them. And some get frustrated when that is imposed on them. But why is it so hard to aknowledge that not every woman is in YOUR situation. or feels sexism the same way you do.

But can we talk about how the image of black women is one of being a terrible, greedy welfare queen who doesn’t know how to be nurturing to their own kids, but can raise everyone elses babies. I get what everyone is saying because every issue has multiple sides, but to be that oblivious that you COMPLETELY dismiss the image of our nations first lady, a black women, talk about her positive role in her family. Capitol F feminists need to stop getting mad at WOC who are proud mothers, for real, and getting mad at ANY feminism  that isn’t theirs.

To COMPLETELY dismiss it? damn.
