Is it okay to question Brigitte Macron and Michelle Obama’s gender?

The article explores the reasons behind speculation about Michelle Obama and Brigitte Macron being men, distinguishing between questioning a leader’s abilities and their identity. It suggests that societal evolution, increased media exhibitionism, and a perceived depravity among Western elites, possibly fueled by cases like Epstein’s and specific personal histories, contribute to such rumors, rather than simple misogyny or fear of female power.

• Speculation about Michelle Obama and Brigitte Macron being men stems from ideological shifts and increased media exhibitionism, not necessarily misogyny.
• Historically, powerful women like Cleopatra and Catherine the Great were not subjected to such gender questioning.
• The article posits that the public’s distrust of Western elites, coupled with specific personal histories (like Brigitte Macron’s age difference with Emmanuel Macron) and high-profile scandals, fuels suspicion.
• The author argues that the overexposure of these women, due to their husbands’ political positions, plays a role in fostering rumors.
