She is first in a few ways:
"...As first lady, she’s unprecedented in many ways — first nude model, first immigrant, first third wife — but none more so than her refusal to play along. She’s more interested in being a mom than holding a ceremonial office. Save the occasional White House statement, rumors about her marriage, her moods, her state of mind go unacknowledged. She refuses to answer for her husband. Whatever thoughts she has in her head are not for public consumption....

Many before her never wanted to be first lady, all the way back to Martha Washington, but only Melania Trump, odd beneficiary of this Black Swan presidency, has treated the “office” as it is: meaningless and unnecessary, ornamental at best, sexist at worst, something to be abolished. A wife shouldn’t have to give up her life in service to her husband’s ambitions.
Politics aside, all women should appreciate that."

Perhaps because she is?

She's a trophy to trump...always has been.

If she wants to be a true feminist, unlike Hillary, she'd leave his ass.

Except when Michelle Obama was First Lady, then the office was needed, necessary and empowering!
Odd description by the Post. It's not wrong necessarily but what has been her 'life in service'? I don't think she's a true feminist (if so, she has had plenty of opportunities to make a statement against one of her husband's many sexist remarks). I just think she's in a very unhappy marriage, and has been so probably since they first got married.

She just doesn't look happy to me - ever.

hate to drop this 'bombshell' on ya, but there isn't a cabinet position for "First Lady"......

it's simply a title applied out of respect.....

in other words, it's no different that being the Queen of England being called "Your Majesty"

you dippos are some strange folk in the lore of acceptance and understanding.....
She exudes charm, grace, elegance and intelligence, what more can we ask for?

The "feminist" was implied by the article. That was my term. It was an amusing look at things.

There are a lot of polite, demure Southern women who are a whole lot more their own person than a Hillary Clinton. And isn't that what feminism is really supposed to be about? Steel Magnolias?

She is where she wants to be. That’s the purest form of feminist doctrine in action.

That MO in now way had the power to or actually did change? That was on the USDA. She requested that fat kids eat healthier. Oh...the humanity.

So far, one of the most endearing things about her is that she has kept a very low profile. Leads to all these folks in the media speculating all kinds of stuff they really have NO CLUE of. What fun!!!!

So if she files for divorce, would that be a sign she's not happy with their marriage? Or would that just be more proof she's the first true feminist First Lady?

Why the hate Tom? WTF has she done to deserve any negative comments? She would BTW not the be first wife of a POTUS that did not participate in the so called "duties" of the First Lady and not the first one to "stay with her man".
"Unhappy marriage." "Would rather be back in her home country." No "pulse". "She's a trophy." "Not a true feminist"

This type of talk about Melania is nothing but mi·sog·y·ny.

Wear it, wear it proud, liberals.
