Recently, after conservative media shared pictures of Malia Obama kissing a young man in Harvard and blowing smoke rings, First Daughter Ivanka and former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton sprung to her defence.

Ivanka Trump tweeted: “Malia Obama should be allowed the same privacy as her school aged peers. She is a young adult and private citizen, and should be OFF limits."

Chelsea Clinton, meanwhile wrote: “Malia Obama's private life, as a young woman, a college student, a private citizen, should not be your clickbait. Be better."

Obama’s older daughter is a first-year student at Harvard University and took a gap after graduating high school in 2016. The Obamas had called it an effort to start college without the distraction of having her father in the White House.

In an editorial he wrote in 2016, Barack Obama described himself as a feminist and that he had realised the pressure girls face while raising Malia and Sasha. The father of two girls, who was raised by a single mother, penned an essay for Glamour magazine, declaring "this is an extraordinary time to be a woman." "I say that not just as President but also as a feminist."

He had written that raising Sasha and Malia had opened his eyes to the pressure girls are under. He had written: "You see the subtle and not-so-subtle social cues transmitted through culture. You feel the enormous pressure girls are under to look and behave and even think a certain way. "We need to keep changing the attitude that raises our girls to be demure and our boys to be assertive, that criticizes our daughters for speaking out and our sons for shedding a tear." 

This incident will sadly be another reminder of the pressures placed upon young girls in society, something the Obamas are quite familiar with.
