Dear Diary,
Those feminists are at it again and they’re driving me crazy! All this bunk about how I’m a disgrace to working moms because I’m choosing to support my husband and my family. All this talk about the “momification of Michelle Obama” is out of control. And I’m not going to leave my children in the dust – I care about them! It’s unbelievable that I’m being criticized for supporting my family. Of course I have to become the First Lady – my husband was elected President of the United States! And why wouldn’t I want to become First Lady? Don’t those feminists realize the platform that’s been handed to me? This is an honor and an opportunity!
Look at Eleanor Roosevelt – she was a huge advocate for civil rights, she co-founded the Freedom House, and was a delegate to the United Nations! That’s huge! If anything, I have more power than ever now that I’m First Lady. I can do so much more because of my position! Not to mention, when Barack’s presidency is over, this will help me to get any job I want and really boost my own career. And while the feminists don’t realize this, being First Lady is one of the best ways I can begin my campaign for my presidency down the road.
Shouldn’t feminists be amenable to women choosing to do what they want with their own lives? Women have been fighting for the right to work for over a century. But a woman’s right to choose her own life path works both ways. Women also deserve the right to be able to choose to stay at home and help raise their children. It’s not that we’re surrendering the rights that we’ve worked so hard for – we’re acting on these rights by electing to do what they want with their lives. And it takes a true feminist to realize this.
Yours always,
Michelle
