She simply wrote about an issue that she and many other women go through. She's not trying to spin why she posted it. Regardless of why she posted it, many of her attackers were doing it from a purely misogynistic basis and she called that out. All women are allowed to defend themselves from misogyny. And it doesn't mean you wanna be the next big feminist. It's that damn simple.

yet I'm a bad role model for being proud of my body?

She's deflecting WITH this point. Nobody said she's a bad role model for being proud of her body; however, the point she can't respond with is that she can't state what else she has to offer outside of periodic publicity stunts that mostly revolve around her showing her body in various ways. It's great she's proud of her body, but most peoples' concern as it pertains to her is that her success is built off of nothing outside of that, young girls look up to her for no other reason than the fact that she was able to build massive wealth and success off of literally nothing.
Nobody said she's trying to be Gloria Steinham or some great feminist leader -- just that she's using it as a convenience which is far worse than her using it out of genuine aspiration to be a feminist champion. I'm saying she's using feminism as a convenient deflection away from the real point of her inability to defend her type celebrity so she spins the narrative into one about her being devalued as a woman as opposed to the concern of her having nothing real to offer as a person yet being celebrated as if she does.
