Wendy Davis, Texas state senator and candidate for governor, became a feminist hero in 2013 after standing for 11 hours in defense of late-term abortion, but her particular brand of feminism obfuscates the real plight of women around the world.

Davis was recently accused of “blurring” the facts surrounding her life, and while she did struggle as a child — working at 14 to help support her mother — what she has since come to stand for undermines what women around the world are fighting for.
