Michelle Obama spoke at an Obama Foundation Summit on Wednesday and spent an inordinate amount of time bashing men for being “entitled” and “self-righteous.”

The former first lady told men to get “some friends” and talk to each other about their alleged gender-based problems.

“Y’all should get you some friends,” she said to the men in the audience. “Get you some friends and talk to each other, because…[women] straighten each other out on things.”

“Y’all need to go talk to each other about your stuff because there’s so much of it…it’s so messy,” she continued. “Just talk to each other about why you’re the way you are.”

Obama also asserted that parents spend too much time trying to protect their sons, which causes them to grow up with a sense of entitlement.

“The problem in the world today is we love our boys and we raise our girls, you know?” she said. “We raise them to be strong and sometimes we take care not to hurt men, and I think we pay for that a little bit.”

“It’s powerful to have strong men but what does that strength mean?” she continued. “Does it mean respect…or are we protecting our men too much so they feel a little entitled or a little self-righteous sometimes?”
