Speaker 1: So this week, Michelle Obama spoke on gender issues and
Speaker 1: parenting at the Obama Foundation Summit in Chicago. The problem
Speaker 1: in the world today is we love our boys and
Speaker 1: we raise our girls, she declared. We raise them to
Speaker 1: be strong, and sometimes we take care not to hurt men,
Speaker 1: and I think we pay for that a little bit.
Speaker 1: Are you following this, folks? Boys get love, girls get raised.
Speaker 1: Mrs Obama went on, She said, it's powerful to have
Speaker 1: strong men, but what does that strength mean? Doesn't mean respect?
Speaker 1: Does it mean responsibility, Does it mean compassion? Or are
Speaker 1: we protecting our men too much so that they sometimes
Speaker 1: feel a little entitled and a little you know, self
Speaker 1: righteous sometimes. Michelle Obama then uttered a profound statement that
Speaker 1: will echo for generations to come. We have to raise
Speaker 1: our children to be people. She said, we have to
Speaker 1: raise them to be ready to be independent, well meaning,
Speaker 1: kind compare passionate people. I don't know if that's different
Speaker 1: for boys and girls, regardless of what they're confronting in
Speaker 1: the world. So, those of you who have been searching
Speaker 1: for good parenting advice, you now have been schooled by
Speaker 1: first mother Michelle Oh. We need to raise our kids
Speaker 1: as people, as opposed to what reptiles snakes. What the
Speaker 1: hell does that mean? Raise our kids as people m H.
