Are there any women that you think make good role models for your daughters (other than yourself!)
and for what reasons?

Tanni Grey Thompson (paralympic athlete).. for her determination.

VB - pah. Tis not a strong woman who is walked over by her man and who eats only prawns and strawberries to be a size 6.

Sandra Day O'Connor

yes am not corss but am enjoying being contrary

WideWebWitch · 14/07/2005 10:21

I don't think VB is strong, I just think she loves him and their lifestyle. I feel sorry for her but look up to her? No way!

Jodie Marsh

Victoria Beckham bows down to enormous peer pressure regarding her skeletal frame. She sets a bad example to all of us trying to raise normal healthy size girls
(But then again i said Audrey hepburn who also has a problem in this respect, so feel free to chastise me)

Gobbledigook · 14/07/2005 10:23

JODIE MARSH??????? Are you having a larf?

GhostofNatt · 14/07/2005 10:25

Well no one was excited about Sandra Day O'Connor...

monkeytrousers · 14/07/2005 10:25

Might have more sympathy for VB if she stopped sucking her cheeks in to make her cheekbones look bigger at every photo op. I'm doing it now. She is a twat. So's her hubby. Big ponce!

fishfinger · 14/07/2005 10:26

thats becasue you want us to say who the hell is she

monkeytrousers · 14/07/2005 10:26

Jodie Marsh??? In the tyrant bag with Thatch!

lou33 · 14/07/2005 10:27

please, jodie marsh is the one person i really can't tolerate

WideWebWitch · 14/07/2005 10:28

Jodie Marsh?? Whaaaat?

WideWebWitch · 14/07/2005 10:28

You are joking about Jodie, you've got to be!

GhostofNatt · 14/07/2005 10:29

Really, ff, she just retired from Supreme court - first woman on it and all that, only thing standing in way of abortion becoming illegal again in US i suspect... But i did just post it to feel smug, so fair point.

northerner · 14/07/2005 10:29

I'd rather be Jodie Marsh than Natasha Kaplinski

GhostofNatt · 14/07/2005 10:30

Not Jodie Marsh, don't think she has legal qualifications, but seriously she is about as good a role model as VB...

GhostofNatt · 14/07/2005 10:31

Me too notherner, at least she admits she is wearing drag...

fishfinger · 14/07/2005 10:32

regardless of her politices you HAVE to admire condoleeza wright

I don't have any daughetrs why am i posting on thsi thread, has anyone thought about role models for boys?

dillydally · 14/07/2005 10:35

Why does a role model for a girl have to be a women also. Am I permitted to add some male role models for my daughter? (No not boy george for his make up skills)

Debbie Harry
Mrs Pankhurst
Boudicca
Lauren Bacall
Kelly Holmes
I think there is a serious lack of credible female role models who do not resort to being malipulated into getting their kit off in a not very classy way
