Cher Horowitz is the Feminist Icon We all Deserve

Cher Horowitz is the Feminist Icon We all Deserve

Totally Good Time

by Hilary Loverher

It’s pretty obvious, considering Clueless is based Emma by Jane Austen, that Cher is a feminist.  She voices her opinions freely, she is strong and independent, she looks out for her fellow women (most of the time)--sure, she may not be perfect, but Cher is the best feminist role model we could have asked to grow up with; considering this movie is old enough to rent a car, Cher has aged well in the 21st century and she should be celebrated for decades to come!

1. Her body, her choice

Cher says it best, and it’s true: you need to have standards for yourself.  Treat yourself like the royalty you are and don’t settle for less! She doesn’t let Elton pressure her into anything she doesn’t want to do; she only tries to move forward with Christian when she is sure about her feelings for him.  She doesn’t let her friends teasing pressure her into a decision she’d regret. Cher is the boss of her own body and she won’t do anything she doesn’t want to do #yesqueen

2. Her inner (and outer) makeovers

You should never change yourself for someone, it’s true.  Cher makes over Ms. Geist, Tai, even herself, in an effort to promote betterment, not change.  Ms. Geist should want to take pride in her appearance. Tai should want to work on her body and mind.  Cher should want to care about the world, local and global. These are things we should all want to do.  It isn’t about the clothes or the makeup, but about the growth made in the end.

3. She’s always Team Tai

Even if Tai can be way harsh, Cher shows an endless amount of support towards her friend.  Beyond her initial befriending/makeover, Cher takes care of her at social outings, offers her emotional support on multiple occasions, and this is a big one: lets Tai make her own mistakes.  Cher lets her flex, allows her to be extra, and never holds it against her. That is best friend goals right there.

4. She’s tenacious as hell


Cher speaks her mind, but she won’t insist upon something unless she knows she’s right. She doesn’t school Josh’s date on Hamlet to be a petty know-it-all, she does it to prove she isn’t the airhead people perceive her to be (and Josh rightly respects her for it!).

5. She is hella inclusive


Cher is incredibly progressive.  She’s the kind of feminist we should all be because of her inclusion--immigration rights?  She supports them. LGBTQ visibility? She’s here for it. Why wouldn’t you want to take a page out of her book?

Hello everyone my names are ALEX JACKSON from the UK, I want to use this golden medium to appreciate Doctor Abdul a great spell caster for helping me retrieving back my relationship with my ex lover when he ended and turned back on me for quite a long time now (6 months ago). He performed a spell for me and within 48 hours after the spell had been cast I received a text from my ex saying that he is sorry for the pains and tears that he had caused me and that he will not do such a thing to me again in his life. I was surprised but later accepted him back again. Anyone that is in the same line of problem or different one that wants to contact a spell caster should happily contact Doctor Abdul now on this email address.doctorabdulspellcaster@gmail.com or message him through his Whatsapp +2348108728256

No one else can help you fix your relationship and love problems better than Dr Isikolo (https://isikolotemple.com)
Good day everyone, my name is Gabrijela Daničić and It will amaze you to know that everything so many people have been testifying about DR ISIKOLO is nothing but the truth. My husband left me and my kids because we had so many fights and arguments. His people were also against my marriage with him. I loved him so much and had great hope that we will build a bright future together. I waited for 6 months and he never returned back to me. So i had to contact DR ISIKOLO who did everything in his power to reunite us and restore the love and happiness we once shared. He returned back home to us after 48 hours just as DR ISIKOLO assured me. You too can get this great help and live to be grateful to him because he never disappoints anyone. contact Him email: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com and you can also text him via WhatsApp/viber +2348133261196.

I lost our marriage and beautiful home wrecked by unhappiness seeing my wife walk away over the lies she was fed with and insecurities which were never true. I vowed from the beginning never to be a cheat and stood my ground to ensure I built a happy home but unfortunately she never trusted me enough. I wandered for months trying to get her back and sought help from various sources including her family intervention but never yielded success. I came in contact with Dr Isikolo who I doubted at the earlier stage we got in contact with. I had to keep hope alive and complied with the procedures just the way he explained everything to me. He assured me of her return which happened after two to three days and i am yet to find words to express how happy and appreciative i am knowing my son and I had his mom back home to us. I am telling everyone about Dr Isikolo and his kind heart helping people. He won’t fail you if you try him out. Contact him via email: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com You can also WhatsApp him on +2348133261196

Review more and contact Dr Isikolo for love problems (https://isikolotemple.com)
My name is Edna Brewster and I am here to appreciate Dr Isikolo. I have always had a complicated relationship with my boyfriend. We fought so many times due to insecurities on both side and we separated. I knew very well that I still love him and needed him back in my life. He neglected my plea and efforts to make things right and I got information that he was already seeing another lady. I couldn’t help the situation so I had to contact DR ISIKOLO and we talked and I explained everything to me. He assured me that he will help me and ensure I get him back to me. He didn’t waste anytime in helping me and he restored the love and joy we shared and I got my man back to me. I know better that everything so many people are saying about DR ISIKOLO is actually true when I got the result of his work for me 48 hours as he promised. Trust me he can help you too if you believe. So just contact him now. His email contact: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com You can also WhatsApp/Viber him on +2348133261196.
