Who are your role models?

Helen Mirren, Dawn French.

My Dad!

My sisters. I'm not sure if I have any famous role models. I admire a lot of their achievements but not sure I see them as role models.

My nana, no-one will ever be a better person than she was i my eyes. My Daughter also, she is just so amazing (now)

As KatyK says there are people I admire but I don't model myself on them or aspire to be like them.

I don't have any role models. I'm happy in my own skin and my own style. But I do admire most of the people who have been mentioned. I would however like to be as clever and quick witted as Sandy Totsvig and Sue Perkins.

None

Im the same as some of the others here, I don't really have any role models, especially people in the film industry, what would you aspire to? You don't know them, bit bizarre really.

Maternal grandmother

The sufferagetts, wish I had an ounce of their courage, but I do try to speak up for social injustices .

Actually yes norose Emily Pankhurst is probably mine too. I was thinking too "here and now" when I posted. I would have certainly been a supporter/activist.

saak Do you mean Emily Davison who threw herself in front of the King's horse, or Emmeline Pankhurst daughter of Sylvia Pankhurst?

No, of course i mean Emmeline but she was also known as Emily. Thanks for trying to point out something mute though.

Moot of course, stupid predictive!

Stillaliveandkicking,The latest film about them is brilliant, went to cinema to watch it which was mostly filled with women & a few brave men,it was a very quiet & somber audience that left, a great reminder of just how bad things used to be. Shame some young woman still get or wanted to be treated like sex objects or actually behave worse than (some) men

Ive seen it. They used to force feed them in prison to make a point. Unfortunately the young girls these days are offering themselves up to be treated so in a different way which is just as sad. Im not sure how this can be dealt with. Did you know there's a "dating" app for 12 to 17 year olds called "yellow" where the boys continually ask the girls for naked pictures.

Im not sure much has changed to be honest. There are just different avenues for abuse.

Oh dear that is sad to hear Stillaliveandkicking , I had not heard about that, it would be easy for people to say it's just lads being lads but it just seems as though we haven't moved on much regarding respect & equality .

Not sure who's fault that is either to be fair. Until women stop "babying" men or thinking that this is what they need to do to "get" one, when will it ever

Well said, I agree ?

Until young girls and women stop seeing 'celebs' such as Kim Kardashian as role models there's not much chance of boys seeing girls as equals.

Excuse me Ana? Until parents of young boys start knowing what they are doing as in watching on line porn and imparting respect for women. Unit older women start telling their other half to clean a toilet that they also use, it will not get better.

until! not unit. this message gets my goat.

All women have a duty to bring their sons up to respect women. If my son ever ever spoke to a girl in a derogatory manner let alone watched porn I'd be on his case like a tonne of bricks.

Has your husband ever cleaned the toilet Ana? or does he expect you to do it?
