Michelle Obama blasted for 'condescending' and 'out of touch' advice

Former first lady Michelle Obama has been accused of being disgracefully out of touch when it comes to the working woman.

The former first lady offered her advice during a recent talk.

"Don't waste your seat at the table," Obama told TV producer Shonda Rhimes. "If you are scared to use your voice, then you've got to get up and give it to someone who isn't afraid to use the spot."

She then recalled demanding a flexible work schedule while interviewing for a job at the University of Chicago Medical Center so she could take care of her two young daughters.

But Fox News opinion writer Liz Peek argues demanding a flexible work schedule or “special treatment” would normally result in being “shown the door.”

"To most women, Michelle Obama seems to have enjoyed a dream life. Married to a political supernova, spending eight years in the White House (which she once described as having 'prison-like elements'), moving on to a life of luxury and power; she has no idea how the real world functions. Her advice could get a lot of women fired," she wrote.

At the time her husband Barack Obama was a state senator and she had worked at a Chicago law firm. Peek claims Obama's decision to demand the flexible hours shows the privileges she had that most other women don’t.

Peek argues Michelle is putting words into women’s mouths, pointing to when she said at an event in Boston.

“As far as I’m concerned, any woman who voted against Hillary Clinton voted against their own voice in a way. ... We look at those two candidates, as women, and many of us said, ‘That guy. He’s better for me. His voice is more true to me.’ Well, to me that just says you don’t like your voice. You like the thing we’re told to like.”
