Barack Obama’s history of mysogyny

April 5, 2013

 One of the definitions of misogyny is the sexual denigration of women, and sexual objectification of women, and that is something that Barack Obama has displayed several times now.

  Most recently Barack Obama had to apologize for the sexual objectification of California Attorney General, Kamala Harris, for saying “she also happens to be by far the best-looking attorney general in the country,” but this is not the first time he has used such sexist remarks to describe a woman.

  It was back in 2011 when Barack Obama sexualized Debbie Wasserman Shultz by stating the following:

you want Debbie alongside you, because not only is she charming and has that dazzling smile, but she’s tough as nails

  Sure, he thought he was complimenting these two women, but in the private sector this would be grounds for sexual harassment yet for Barack Obama it seems to be business as usual. And who could forget this:

  During the presidential race Mitt Romney took all sorts of heat for mentioning he had his staff compile binders full of women who were qualified for jobs yet these same media outlets remain silent on Barack Obama’s missteps with women, but I would expect no less. Can you imagine the field day the media would have if any of the examples above were of Mitt Romney instead of Barack Obama?

  It makes you wonder if there is more to Michelle Obama’s slip of the tongue when she called herself a single mother.
