First and foremost in my mind as a “Feminist Role Model” would be one of my heroes Phyllis Schlafly.

Except for the fact that I think that “feminism” is a toxic, self-abasing, useless ideology.

My idea of a “feminist” is a person who believes that a given woman is theoretically as intellectually capable as a given man, and that a strong, rational, self-reliant woman is a desirable thing. This person would also recognize that there are physical and psychological differences between men and women that are unarguable, and while those physical differences present real barriers (it is not a given that physically a woman can do anything that a man can) the psychological differences are less a barrier than a mutually complimentary characteristic.

That, however, does not describe what feminists subscribe to. They are all about being a protected class. Many demand to be treated exactly as men are, then when they are, they protest that they are victims of unfair treatment and deserve some special accommodation.

Myself, I prefer strong, rational, self-reliant women.

I also admire Phyllis Schlafly. Didn't she pen the line, “Women can have everything, just not at the same time.”
And then there's Margret Thatcher.
