So it's no secret I'm pretty liberal. I think anyone should be able to marry anyone, gender is a spectrum, women need to have rights to equal pay and to their own bodies and all races and religions are equal. So it entirely offends me when a random person tells me I should be looking up to a racist, bigoted, empty-headed moron like Tomi Lahren.

In case you're unfamiliar with her, Lahren used to appear on TheBlaze on Fox News and there was a whole debacle, but I don't have the patience to list all her lies, so I'll direct you to this article where you can read all about it.

So without further ado, let's list some reasons why Tomi Lahren is the worst possible role model for women and young girls in 2017:

1. She's a racist, a bigot, and a homophobe.

I know what you're thinking: "Whoa, hang on there, Alyssa. Those are HUGE claims you're making!" They should be. In case you live under a rock, you might not know exactly how racist Lahren's opinions are because you didn't see the Daily Show clip where Trevor Noah teaches Tomi that there are consequences for the words that come out of her mouth.

Lahren predictably had many phrases and arguments prepared, padding her "arguments" with statistics she got from who-knows-where about how likely a black man is to shoot a police officer and vice versa. When Noah pointed out that her arguments were easily toppled and stood on a bed of sand, she would turn right around and say something to the effect of: "No, Trevor, that's actually not what I'm saying," and reiterate her point, and the cycle would start again with a new question. At a certain point, she just refused to answer questions at all and said what she wanted to say.

She has no idea how to defend herself against racism accusations because the things she says - attacking people for protesting against racist policies and institutions - are, in themselves, racist. She does not realize that you don't have to use racial slurs to be racist. Her attacks on Colin Kaepernick and the NFL, in general, have not gone unnoticed.

But let's not forget her avid support of Trump's policies to ban Muslims from entering the country and transgender people from serving in our military. This is one of the things that gets to me the most. Why, Tomi, are you so offended by refugees of war and those who don't fall into your preconceived notions of gender? These policies aren't protecting anyone, they simply hurt people who are already down - people who have been kicked by society or Western culture. To support them is bigotry and transphobia.

2. She's a hypocrite

Now I know nobody is perfect. I know there are liberal commentators who have changed stances or beliefs and contradicted themselves. But nobody knows how to stomp her feet and play the victim like this woman.

Let's all remember: Lahren has a serious problem with the "liberal snowflakes" that need a safe space and participation trophies. Protesters are whining babies and people who kneel during the anthem don't deserve to live in this "great" country.

But riddle me this, Tomi - if whiny liberals annoy you so much, WHY THEN ARE YOU THE WHINIEST PERSON ON THE FACE OF PLANET EARTH?

Apparently, the only one of us with First Amendment rights is Miss Tomi Lahren, because if Colin Kaepernick (or any football player) takes a knee, they're offending her devotion to this country, it's flag and its veterans, but if anyone else wants to use their First Amendment right to criticize her and her opinions, they're "attacking" her. (I would like to point out that not standing for the National Anthem is, in fact, a constitutional right.)

She will march up and down the street, yelling about liberals to anyone who will listen to her but can't take the same heat. Unfortunately, sweetheart, you gotta take what you give. It's not a one-way street. That's what makes me lose respect for her - she is a whiny snowflake, yet criticizes anyone trying to advocate for change. It invokes the image of a small child running up to their mother, pointing to another kid on the playground and saying: "Mommy, the other kids were mean to me!" in a sing-songy huff. Apparently, she's also a terrible person.

3. She has no concrete opinions

So this one really gets to me. Tomi Lahren basically serves as the conservative party's cheerleader (even though she insists she doesn't). The only real stance she's ever taken is on abortion, and even then, it was too little, too late. Her blind support of President Whackadoo doesn't help her here either. All she does on her show is spout back points that other conservatives have already made in different terms. There are no original thoughts apart from new half-baked insults in this woman's head.

To me, one cannot look at celebrities and athletes attempting to advocate for social justice and not see the bigger picture without being completely unwilling to try. She is so ensconced in conservativeness that she cannot see why she might be wrong.

4. She has done nothing worthy of praise

Tomi graduated from college, worked for a congresswoman and landed a job at Fox News. Okay. That means that I should worship her? Uhhh...

I'm not going to look up to someone simply because they're successful and a little bit lucky. I'm going to admire people who work for a noble cause and advocate for a better America - an actually better America.

I'm about to graduate from college. I know people who have run for office and worked in the news. Does that mean I should look up to them? Success is not something to admire, not in the way the young woman who wrote the article I'm opposing suggests. There's nothing wrong with being proud of what you've accomplished in life, but that does not make you the definitive role model for young women and girls.

Instead, here is a list of women who have done amazing things and who continue to serve as role models for women everywhere:

Emma Watson

UN Women Goodwill ambassador and head of the HeForShe campaign, which advocates for gender equality.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.

Malala Yousafzai

The youngest ever Nobel Prize laureate and education activist. She was shot in the head when the Taliban decided she was too vocal. She recovered and still speaks on behalf of women in developing countries.

Marie Curie

The first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the only woman to win more than one and the only person to win in two different sciences for her research in the field of radioactivity.

Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson

NASA mathematicians who were instrumental in not only assuring the safety and effectiveness of John Glen's flight during the Space Race but also pioneers of both African Americans and Women in STEM.

Eleanor Roosevelt

Pushed for the United States to join the UN, served as the first chair on the UN Commission on Human Rights, and was instrumental in creating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Rosa Parks

Pioneer of the civil rights movement. Though she was not the first black woman to give her seat to a white passenger on a public bus, she nevertheless was the face of the movement. (Peep MLK in the background)

Temple Grandin

Professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University, advocate for the humane treatment of animals, inventor, and autism spokesperson.

Maya Angelou

Poet, scholar and civil rights activist. She worked closely with Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X.

Mother Teresa

Nobel Prize laureate and social activist. She lived for most of her life in Calcutta where she worked in soup kitchens, family counseling centers, orphanages and schools. Her religious order managed homes for people dying of HIV/AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis.
