I can't remember what got my goat about this movement first, but I think it had something to do with Princess Mary of Denmark being touted at the role model to end all role models. (Especially here in Australia as she's an Aussie.) I love the fairy tale that is Princess Mary as much as the next girl, but a role model?? All she did was pass a fertility test and marry VERY well.

The one about the modesty movement made me laugh: a pro-modesty speaker came to my school to speak, and the Q&A session at the end was BRUTAL.
