This article is a response to another article that calls Michelle Obama a "feminist nightmare" and bashes on the first lady for saying that being a mom is her first priority, and says she is playing it safe with the childhood obesity thing. The response to the article goes on to say that undermining women because they are mothers is the real nightmare, and goes on to defend Michelle Obama's position as well as her stances on things such as childhood obesity.

I pretty much agree with this article. I think it is great that Mrs. Obama is "embracing her role as mom in chief" and showing that her family comes first. I don't necessarily agree with some of her views or like some of her programs, but I think she is trying to do what she feels is best. The biggest problem I have with feminism is when it is taken too far. I get the whole equal pay in the workplace thing, but when it starts to place full time mothers in a lower position than working moms or women, that is where I have a problem. This article said something I really liked: "If feminism isn't for mothers, then who is it for?" Most women turn out to be mothers, and I think that when feminists cross that line, they have gone too far.
