I hate this comparison between these two women.

Sorry, I meant wall flower.

Olivia in your picture it's showing that women should be more famine to be less threatening if you haven't got that. So yes, trumps wife will fit in perfectly by being wall follower, focussing on her dresses and looks while her husband serves the country. It's not offensive to be a kept wife. It's offensive when it's used as support for a woman who have worked hard to be where they are. It's offensive when women's looks and standards of beauty trumps academics achievement and other roles they play in society.

What do you mean she has got off lightly? Is it with this particular cartoon or in general ? I don't think any of them should be tolerated. That is why I wanted to keep racism out of it and I mentioned this in my open post.

However, I do know the reason why I as a black female would find this offensive based on race and history. In the context of this particular picture it's not rocket science what it's referring to. When I see other women of other races I understand that too but from a different context. They are both sexism and should not be tolerated. When women are being portrayed as looking like men because they are powerful it's like saying you are not good enough just by being female. To achieve you have to act and be like a man. You need to be more male to have the force and power to destroy and build. I.e the picture you have just posted. Probably it's the reason why anyone who has been great or done something that is comparable to what men have done they have always been given names like bulldozers and Iron Lady. Why ?

However, don't get it twisted. The picture of Michelle in this context is different.

Ok. I had a sleep on this and feeling better than I did yesterday over this. A lot of people will not understand my rage and that's fine. I posted this here because I was on website that focuses on black issues and news.

Am glad that lots of people think highly of her on this site but let's not be naive and turn a blind eye. Michelle Obama has been getting abuse for years.
people have agreed or have problems with the picture that is why it has gone viral they way it has. The fact is it has a lot of stereotyping of black women. Michelle Obama has been called the angry black woman for years. They think that she controls her husband and that is seen as trait of the black woman. They are unmanageable. It's not a coincidence that she is being portrayed that way in this. Her portrayal affects the whole race because that is how we as black women are always depicted. Secondly, she does wear hop earnings. It's not a coincidence that she is being depicted as wearing one. It's saying she looks ghetto for anyone who does not understand that. That is where the line between class with both women is being drawn.

The other reason for my posting this, is that I thought it was from a similar cartoonist as Charlie hebdo magazine.

For the people who are saying that cherie Blair and others have been drawn in similar manner, I would disagree. I have checked and none of them makes her look like a man. The fact is black women's body is shamed because it's different to the European standard. The other, is that most black women are told they look like men. This drawing was not about making Michelle look ugly. It's a more about making a statement on what black women look like. I know that most people will not see it but that is what gave me the rage. It's nothing new. A lot of black models know this because the criticism they always get is that they want models who are more famine. Christie Copland gets complains because people think she is more like a man and not gracious enough to be a ballerina. Her only crime is that she has a body like any other black woman.

This sort of demoralisation of Black women has been going for hundreds of years. Yes it did start during slavery and it's still being carried on today. When black women are portrayed as angry, they are referring to her has having a chip on her shoulder, nagging, sassy and emasculating black men and its the reason why most black people are poor. It's the black women being blamed for driving black men away for trying to take up men's roles. This also comes from the theory that black women have similar sex drive as men. Black women have more testosterone and because of this black woman cannot be compatible in a relationship with a man. Slave owners spread this theory of incompatibility to make it ok for black woman to be raped with no justice. Black women's nakedness in Africa was seen being immoral and ready to have sex. Black women who were raped their cases where never seen as rape because how could they not want sex when they are like men. They could not report it and a lot of women were used as bearers for more slaves who were pricier. They were a commodity and nothing more.

In the open post, I said that racism is intertwined with sexism.
I also thought that in the feminist chat I would find women who would disagree with the portrayal of both women based on looks a lone. Why should an ex beauty queen and model make the White House great with just looks. We haven't seen her credentials based on what she will be able to do. Michelle has heaps of evidence but she is being shown as lacking.
