It sounds like she's asking for average people to be role models, but aren't role models supposed to be exemplary? To show us what we can achieve and encourage us towards that?


What I got from this is that we should let a woman either fail or excel based on her own skills and actions, not based on all women's actions. Women have a ton of pressure on them to be great at their jobs, plus be pretty, and fashionable, and geeky, and cool, etc. It's too much. Let each woman be who they are.

The xkcd says it all.
