Laura Bush a feminist?

I’m sorry, but feminism just isn’t for everybody.
In an appearance on “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” Laura Bush called herself a feminist. Oh dear.

“A lot of what I do internationally does have to do with women’s issues, with women’s rights, with the education of women and girls,” the first lady said in a Mother’s Day appearance on “This Week,” “because it’s so important and because women — as we saw in Afghanistan — and girls have been left out, actually forbidden to be educated.”
…”You can’t tell me that mothers and fathers don’t love their daughters,” she said. “I know they do and want the best thing for their daughters and their sons the world over. I truly believe that. And if women are educated, then they’re more likely to be able to make wise and healthy decisions for their children.”

The rhetoric sounds right, but as Samhita has said before: are we really supposed to look at Laura Bush as the face of international feminism?
Hey Laura, if you’re really a feminist then why not tell hubby to stop rolling back women’s rights? Or to stop trying to overturn Roe? And as Erica Jong asked before, “why [are you] promoting freedom for women in the Middle East when the rights of American women are being systemically eroded by [your] husband’s initiatives?â€? And while you’re at it–please stop saying girls are bad at math.
Naturally I think it’s important that women identify as feminist–but not at the expense of the quality of the movement.
