PLATELL'S PEOPLE: Are Michelle Obama and Meghan Markle true feminists... or did they just marry well?

The Light We Carry is supposedly a guide for all women, everywhere, in their 'ongoing journey to "becoming"'. We must embrace our true potential, she suggests, despite being thwarted by prejudice and, yes, dastardly men.

Michelle offers such sage reflections as 'fear can keep us safe, but fear can keep us stuck'. Eh? 'We practise, we learn, learn and practise, we make mistakes then start over again,' she writes. If we 'recognise our light, we become empowered by it'. She also hails the joys of knitting to find lasting peace.

The book is printed in 40 languages. Let's hope one is a translation from gobbledygook into English.

The point is that Michelle's personal fortune of about $70 million has not been built on her uniqueness, nor her wisdom, but on the fact she is Mrs Barack Obama. She is famous, and is only given such platforms, because she was married to a President.

In The Light We Carry, she tries to connect with us ordinary women, revealing that even someone as adored as she is still feels ugly sometimes, and hates the sight of herself without make-up in the morning mirror.

She bravely tells us she sometimes felt like an outsider as she's 5ft 11in tall. Now she's making an undeserved and very lucrative career out of standing over all of us. Michelle does not speak for the millions of working 'sisters'

Instead, she reminds us of another well-married woman, Meghan Markle.

“She bravely tells us she sometimes felt like an outsider as she’s 5ft 11in tall.”

Just like storming Normandy Beach.
Women are so full of themselves.

What is a true feminist? I don’t know because I’m not a biologist.

My wife is 5'10". I see it as a feature. It also cut down on short competition.
