Even though President Obama's two-term run is nearing the finish line, his feminist and equal rights legacy should not be forgotten. His epic strides made in women's rights can be remembered in his witty words, and the Internet's blessed database of Obama gifs.

1.When he destroyed misogyny in professional soccer.

"[The United States Women's National Team] taught all America's children that 'playing like a girl' means you're a badass." - with the USWNT at the White House, 2015

2. When he showed television stereotypes who's boss, or at least, who should be.

"It's time to do away with workplace policies that belong in a 'Mad Men' episode." - State of the Union address, 2014

3. When he was just as damn fed up with the wage gap as we are.

"Really. It's 2015. It's time." - State of the Union address, 2015, regarding equal pay for women.

4. When he took it worldwide.

"Any nation that fails to educate its girls or employ its women and allow them to maximize their potential is doomed to fall behind in the global economy." -regarding Kenya's treatment of women and girls, 2015.

5. When he was honest.

"I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage. But when you start playing around with constitutions, just to prohibit somebody who cares about another person, it just seems to me that's not what America's about. Usually, our constitutions expand liberties, they don't contract them."

- in 2008 taking viewers' questions on MTV.

6. When he wasn't afraid to admit he changed his mind.

"I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married." - in 2012 with ABC News.

7. When Michelle jumped in, and thank goodness.

"You don't want to be with a boy who's too stupid to appreciate a smart young woman." -in NYMag in 2015.

8. When we started to wonder if maybe Michelle was really behind all of this feminist badassery-and-beyond.

"When you've worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you. You reach back." -at the DNC in 2012.

9. When Barack made promises we knew he would keep.

"Women can't wait for equal pay. And I won't stop fighting to address this inequality."

10. When he was funny.

“Rick Santorum announced that he would not attend the same-sex wedding of a friend or loved one, to which gays and lesbians across the country responded, that’s not going to be a problem. Don’t sweat that one.” - 2015 White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

11. When he kept it simple.

"Every woman should have access to the health care she needs." - State of the Union 2015.

12. When he believed in us, just like he always has.

"Women are the backbone of our families." - at the Women for Obama event, 2008.

Thanks, Obama.
