Michelle Obama and Julia Louis-Dreyfus want you to believe that young women are doomed. Now they are whining about how young women grow up invisible and afraid to claim confidence. These two rich celebs sat together on a recent podcast, lamenting how the world gives young men swagger and shrinks young women into the wallpaper.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama is tired of young women not being able to be as sure of themselves as young men are.
During Wednesday’s episode of her “IMO” podcast, which she co-hosts with her brother Craig Robinson, Obama spoke to “Seinfeld” and “Veep” star Julia Louis-Dreyfus about how she wishes younger women had the unbridled confidence that young men in their 30s have — arguing that when women finally start feeling good about themselves, they’re older and less visible to society. – New York Post
Give me a break.
Michelle Obama Whines More
This is the same tired grievance feminism sells every few years. Obama and her ilk repackage it as if women are still cowering in corners, helpless to speak up while men strut around brimming with self-belief. It would be funny if it were not so insulting to the millions of young women who prove them wrong every single day.
And can we talk about Julia Louis-Dreyfus swooning over Jane Fonda? Louis-Dreyfus speaks of her as an example of how older women get ignored. Julia gushes about the “breadth” and “profundity” of Fonda’s life. Like the rest of us forgot that Hanoi Jane’s big contribution to womanhood was cozying up to the Viet Cong while American POWs rotted in cages. If that’s the kind of “extraordinary life” these celebrity feminists think we’re missing out on, no thanks.
The topic came up with Louis-Dreyfus mentioning how she has become friends with 87-year-old actress Jane Fonda in recent years and has marveled at her “extraordinary” life that isn’t in the spotlight as much anymore.
“And I was so struck by the breadth of her life, the profundity – she’s done so many different things. And it got me thinking about, wow, there’s so many women out there that are older – I mean, at the time she was 85, I believe – that are older that have had these extraordinary lives, and we’re not hearing from them.”
Obama suggested this was a societal issue, replying, “We’ve talked about this a lot, how women, as we age, we get pushed out of the picture.”
“Yeah, it’s incredible,” the “Seinfeld” actress replied. – The New York Post
Michelle Obama then jumps in to claim that women “get pushed out of the picture” as they age. Pushed out by whom, exactly? The left keeps dragging her out as an icon every election cycle, hoping her radical protest photo ops will trick the next generation into thinking she’s some brave hero.
Look Around: Young Conservative Women Have Plenty of Confidence
If Michelle and Julia want to see confidence, they should get out of their celebrity echo chamber and look at the conservative movement. Right off the top of my head, I can think of several young, confident women making their way in politics and culture without waiting for Michelle Obama’s pity or Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s pep talks. These women do not need lectures about swagger. They have it and they are not afraid to use it.
Riley Gaines, the former college swimmer, did not sit down and shut up when forced to compete against a biological male. She stood her ground, sued, and became a national leader fighting for fairness in women’s sports.
How about Kayleigh McEnany? She was barely in her thirties when she stepped up to the White House press podium and shredded the same media hacks now nodding along to Michelle’s victim talk. And Karoline Leavitt is following right behind her, serving as the Trump campaign’s national press secretary, one of the youngest ever to hold that job. She debates journalists head-on, flips the script, and proves young conservative women are anything but invisible.
Or consider young state representatives like Savannah Maddox in Kentucky or Anna Paulina Luna in Congress. They do not need a permission slip to speak boldly about protecting kids, defending free speech, and standing up for women’s rights, actual women’s rights, not the version where a man in a wig takes your place on the podium.
As a Kentuckian, state legislator, and lifelong Republican, I am immensely grateful for two courageous statesmen, @RepThomasMassie and @SenRandPaul.
They have stood firm on fundamental conservative principles, time and again, regardless of which direction the political winds… pic.twitter.com/UUCA2mHDOg

And if Michelle and Julia need even more proof that young women are not helpless wallflowers, they should look at their own side. Jasmine Crockett runs her mouth in Congress like it’s an open mic night for insults, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez built her entire brand on being the loudest woman in the room — with the least substance. Nobody shoved them into the shadows. They vaulted onto the national stage with viral videos, hashtags, and a never-ending appetite for attention.
The Real Reason Women Are Invisible in Their World
The truth is, if young women feel invisible today, they should ask whose side made it that way. The same left that Michelle Obama champions has spent the last decade erasing women one sport, locker room, and prison cell at a time. They tell girls that if a man calls himself a woman, he gets her spot on the podium and her spot in the changing room. Complain? You get called a bigot.
No wonder so many girls feel powerless — they are not allowed to say no.
If you can stomach the interview, here it is:
They Love the Problem More Than the Solution
When powerful women like Michelle Obama and Julia Louis-Dreyfus have the chance to empower girls, what do they do? They whine about women being invisible. Meanhile, their own side works overtime to push real women out of our own spaces. And conservative women, young and old, keep doing the work of holding the line for fairness, truth, and real female strength. They are not invisible. They are impossible to ignore. We’re not going anywhere.
