Barack Obama didn't only betray every girl and woman in the United States while he was President.
He also betrayed the world's millions of girls and women of color who are victims of Female Genital Mutilation.
The premise for FGM is that female genitals are dirty and socially stigmatizing.
Mr. Obama's lewd participation in other invasive objectification of the female body was also destructive. He perpetuated the idea that sexual harassment is funny, that it's not degrading, and that a woman who says "STOP TALKING ABOUT MY VAGINA" every day for years, without varying what she's saying, and whose behavior proves that she has no motive for saying it other than to live without being targeted for sexist abuse, deserves to be patronized.
