The Loud Silence of Feminists -- Why have mainstream feminists not come to the defense of Michelle Obama?

Also, as it seems some people weren't aware, Fox News called her Obama's "baby mama". If you click the link, you will find interesting comments by fellow Americans, including this gem:

Are you people serious. I think they just said it because Obama and Mama rhyme.

The folks who call this racist are probably racist themselves and are just projecting what the
[sic] really think deep down inside.

Because the criticisms of her are that she doesn't have the politicians' knack of putting on a show of blind patriotism (which I rather like), rather than anything gender-related.

I'd never heard the "baby momma" thing, though -- I'm not sure what to make of that.

Yes, "Obama's baby momma" was a caption that Fox News put beneath a pic of her. That just happened within the last week.
