From Politico Magazine:

Leaning Out

How Michelle Obama became a feminist nightmare.

That's right. Apparently, being the right's favorite pinata, every day being derided as a fat, stupid feminazi isn't enough. She refuses to find her "inner wonk" and do important work, at least according to Michelle Cottle, who says feminists are upset she hasn't used her platform the way they wanted her to.

Whatever. Considering that just telling kids to eat their vegetables makes wingnut heads spin around on their shoulders, I can't even imagine what they would do to her for taking on some Hillary-level work as first lady. She's never given any indication that she has further political ambitions and absolutely no reason to try to do something more "wonky" than working on kids issues. Which, by the way, was also Clinton's main political cause when she was the first lady of Arkansas and the US. I don't know when advocating for children became a feminist embarrassment but it didn't used to be. Jesus, if they don't do it, who will?
