I never understood how people thought that was okay. There's nobody thinking it's okay if men say "if you voted for Clinton, you voted against your own voice" of think it's okay if white people say "if you voted for Obama, you voted against your own voice".

So why is it suddenly okay when famous minorities or women shame other minorities or women for not voting according to race or gender? "Equality"

MIchelle Obama's point seems to be that Trump was a misogynist who does not work very hard to recognize women's interests. He is probably incapable of doing so at this point.

So she raises the question of why women voted for him, since they would be voting against their own "voice."

A legitimate question.

She is not arguing that women should have voted for Hillary because she was a "woman."  She certainly would not have urged them to vote for Sarah Palin because she was a woman.  And she would agree that her husband was not a misogynist, and voting for him would not be voting against women's interests.

So Michelle OBama is not asking people to band together and vote solely on a candidates race or gender. She is saying people should vote for candidates that do not overlook or denigrate voters because of the race or gender.
