Former First Lady Michelle Obama said men feel they are entitled and women protect them too much.

She told the first Obama Foundation international summit men are raised to be babies while women are brought up to be strong.

'It's like the problem in the world today is we love our boys, and we raise our girls,' Obama said.

'We raise them to be strong, and sometimes we take care not to hurt men - and I think we pay for that a little bit.

'Are we protecting our men too much so they feel a little entitled and self-righteous sometimes? But, that's kind of on us too as women and mothers, as we nurture men and push girls to be perfect.'

The former First Lady told men 'y'all should get you some friends' to develop a support network in the same way women do.

'Talk to each other, because that's the other thing [women] do - we straighten each other out on some things, our girlfriends,' she said.

'It's powerful to have strong men, but what does that strength mean? You know, does it mean respect? Does it mean responsibility? Does it mean compassion?'

Barack Obama kicked off the first-ever Obama Foundation Summit in Chicago, a two-day event that aims to inspire a new generation of leaders on Tuesday.

About 500 civic leaders from Chicago and around the world took part in the summit.

In what ways are women protecting men too much though?

 

[Blackout]

would of been nice to be coddled or spoiled or protected but some of us men did not have that luxury and manned up and protected ourselves.

To be fair I know what kind of men she is addressing but her not aiming specifically at them by putting it in generalizing form hurts her message.

 

[BelieveBeOK]

Maybe I need to see a clip of her explaining that statement because what I read sounds like some horse shyt.

 

[Karb]

Oh she on that bullshyt now?

I better not comment any further, wouldn't want to mansplain anything

 

[Kairi Irving]

Uh more like Women are entitled and self righteous and think they deserve everything


They want job opportunities thr same as a man? Ok.

They challenge a man to a fight and when dude retaliates "how dare he hit her!"

maybe if women stopped having children out of wedlock, they could have a father in the house to properly raise their boys. We've seen it....

its tough for a parent to raise a kid by themselves, especially one of the opposite gender.

Out of wedlock birth rates has exploded for all races since the 70s and its funny how nobody tells people (both genders...) to make better choice.
Unless you think the majority of men are tricking women to having babies and leaving, you have to acknowledge women pick the worst men to have babies w/...

I kinda agree. Funny thing is I feel the same way about women and how men as a whole treat them so I'm not that mad at her for her generalization. I guess you'll say me and her don't have the same platform and if you do I'll give you that.

She’s not wrong. I see this a lot in out brehs and brehettes.

How many women are laying down and having babies by gang members, then getting mad when they don't suddenly become productive loving fathers?
