Almost everyone would agree that it's important for young people (especially tweens) to have good role models. I'm going to take this concept a step further and add that it's important for young people to have good role models that are chosen from this list of "good role models" that I'm providing. Basically, in order for children to redeem themselves and make my opposite-of-rage cup runneth over they really gotta get with the program and start emulating people that I find inspirational, influential, and/or entertaining. Who are kids even into nowadays? The Jonas Brothers? No. That is the epitome of unacceptable. How will those nobodies teach the children of today to teach the children of tomorrow to make sure I'm not being sexually assaulted in a nursing home when I'm 94? They can't and they wont. It's okay though, because I've whipped up a list of people that are actually worth looking up to so kids don't grow up to have kids that are criminals and sexually assault elderly versions of people who are in their twenties now.
So here's a list of appropriate role models. Don't worry about faxing it to every elementary, middle, and high school in the United States...I did that this morning. You may or may not notice that the entire list is women (with one notable exception). This is not an accident.
- Dazzler
- Lydia Lunch
- Harriet Winslow (It goes without saying that I'm talking about the REAL Harriet, not that wannabe from the last season)
- Amy Greenhouse
- Scary Spice
- Richard Joseph Mulcahy jr.
- Grace Jones
- Courtney Love
- She-Ra
- Princess Daisy
- She-Hulk (bonus points because she's a super hero AND a lawyer)
- Agent 355
- Becky Buckwild
- Dolly Parton (she's good role model for full grown adults as well)
- Opposite Day Ann Coulter (aka bell hooks)
- Marie Curie (periodic table reference! +10 points!)
- Orlan
- Elmyra Duff
- Soo Catwoman
- The Statue of Liberty
- Queen of the Dust Mites
