WASHINGTON, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Barack Obama called himself a feminist in an essay published on Thursday in Glamour magazine, urging all men to keep fighting against gender stereotypes and double standards.


Thursday is Obama's 55th birthday and also the last one he can celebrate in the White House. In the essay titled "This is What a Feminist Looks Like," he writes: "It's important that their (his two daughters') dad is a feminist, because now that's what they expect of all men."


He is reportedly the first sitting U.S. president to openly proclaim that he is a feminist. The 1500-word essay was widely praised in social media here.


Reviewing what have shaped his own feminism, Obama cited the hardworking of his mother and grandmother and the pressure on his wife Michelle to balance her career and parenting.


However, he weighed watching his daughters grow up as the strongest factor in shaping his thoughts about feminism.


"When you're the father of two daughters, you become even more aware of how gender stereotypes pervade our society," he says.


"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."


"While I'll keep working on good policies - from equal pay for equal work to protecting reproductive rights - there are some changes that have nothing to do with passing new laws," he wrote. "In fact, the most important change may be the toughest of all - and that's changing ourselves."


"Michelle and I have raised our daughters to speak up when they see a double standard or feel unfairly judged based on their gender or race - or when they notice that happening to someone else," he said.


The U.S president has called for all men join him to keep fighting gender discrimination and changing attitudes which limit girls' development by boxing stereotypes on gender behaviors since they are young, stressing the importance for girls "to see role models out in the world who climb to the highest levels of whatever field they choose."


"It is absolutely men's responsibility to fight sexism too. And as spouses and partners and boyfriends, we need to work hard and be deliberate about creating truly equal relationships," he said in the essay.


"That' s what twenty-first century feminism is about: the idea that when everybody is equal, we are all more free."


Obama attaches importance to feminism at a critical time when Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is closer to the White House than any woman before her and nearly a century after women's suffrage in the country.


"No matter your political views, this is a historic moment for America. And it's just one more example of how far women have come on the long journey toward equality," he said.




MADRID, Oct. 18 (Xinhua) -- FC Barcelona coach Luis Enrique believes possession be vital when his side entertains Manchester City in the Camp Nou Stadium on Wednesday night.


The game between the best two sides in Champions League group C sees the return of former Barca coach, Pep Guardiola to the ground where he made his name as a player and where he led Barca to 14 titles in four years and in his pre-game press conference, Enrique highlighted that Guardiola had already imposed his style on the club.


"We know it will be complicated because of the quality and the talent of their players. They (Manchester City) have changes many things from the past and this version, which is already attractive, will continue to improve," he said.


Manchester City are a more attacking side since Guardiola replaced Manuel Pellegrino at the end of last season and Enrique recognized how he had changed their style of play.


"Guardiola has a massive effect on the way his team plays in every sense of the word. We know they want the ball and they have talent in attack to hurt us," continued the Barca boss, who advised everyone to try and see the game.


"There can't be many better matches for a football fan," commented Enrique, who preferred to take the spotlight away from comparisons between himself and Guardiola.


"It's not a game between coaches, it will be the players who decide the game. I shared many things with him (Guardiola) as a player at Barcelona and with the Spain national team and now it is a privilege to do so at a different level and it is an extra incentive to try and win against a friend,," said Enrique.


Central defender Gerard Pique also spoke to the press and once again insisted that his decision to retire from the Spain national team following the 2018 World Cup finals was not down to pressure from the Spanish press. Enditem
