Feminism is about equal opportunities and she has made her way to the top in a "male dominated"(not sure how statistically correct this is anymore) society.

On topic:

A music icon is someone who is a good representation of the genre. I view this the same way as Mundo. If I were talking to someone about music and said "do you like "X" genre? For example artist or artist".

Icons are usually very popular and probably a source of inspiration for others in the same genre.
Thanks D for your opinions.

The problem I have with people insisting she represents this is that it only really showcases one theory out of many different theories that fall under feminism.

I just feel sorry for all the impressionable young girls who look at her overly sexual performances and music videos and think dressing half naked represents feminism or means "liberation" when it doesn't.

She is confusing her young fans.
