Barack Obama: women are wonderful and better leaders than men, somehow. What gender equality? They are better than us, also we need equality of outcome between the 2 sexes.

Personally I want women to be president and most of Congress so they can stop pretending to be oppressed.

"I'm absolutely confident that for two years if every nation on earth was run by women, you would see a significant improvement across the board on just about everything... living standards and outcomes."

"If you look at the world and look at the problems it's usually old people, usually old men, not getting out of the way," he said.

laughs in Merkel, 14 years in office.

Someone posted this on r/whiteknighting. I usually like Obama, but this is the kind of thing that makes liberals look bad. Why couldn't he just say that men and women can both be good leaders? Trump supporters are going to use shit like this to convert more people.

"We need to have more women in leadership,"

Then why didn't he step aside at the 2008 Democratic National Convention and back Hillary Clinton's nomination for the 2008 election? Why didn't he do the same thing in the 2012 Convention?

Obama has become quite vocal about his misandry since leaving office. While in office, he kept it to his executive orders (OCR debacle), but now that there's no political cost to it, he's come out fully with his sexism.

I’m a big fan of Obama but this is disappointing. I’m guessing he just wanted to appeal to the spirit of modern feminism; Obama was always a very charismatic man who tried to say what would impress the people.

I'm a big fan of Obama but this is straight-up bullshit man. Like, he ran his first campaign against a woman, but now that he's all done it's time to throw his fellow men under the bus? He didn't even need to make a comparison. "We need to have more women in leadership," out of sheer equality would have been perfectly unobjectionable. But no, let's hop on the "men ain't shit" train.

Let's vote Marine Le Pen!

He must have a guilty conscience given that he killed thousands of civilians with drones and basically agreed with the Republicans.

Go back to making speeches for your Wall St buddies Obama, you feckless neoliberal.

I regret voting for this fool.

transgirltradwife · 2019-12-16T21:11:50+00:00

I dont give 2 shits what Obama thinks though.

Maybe he’s trying to recover some cred for his woke comments.

Also, it’s no surprise he doesn’t want Bernie to win.

Let me try to rescue his statement... Societies which are open to leaders of either gender are more progressive. Traditionally, leaders have been male. Therefore, a female leader is a good sign.

wahmenrespecter2 · 2019-12-16T17:26:23+00:00

He's kinda right, though.
