Christina Hoff Sommers, an American philosopher and author, became a viral sensation in digital political circles through her 'Factual Feminist' video series produced by the American Enterprise Institute. Known affectionately by fans as 'Based Mom,' her image is frequently used to represent logic-driven critiques of modern social movements. The meme often features her calmly explaining complex data or debunking popular myths regarding gender and sociology. It gained significant traction during the mid-2010s in online debates, serving as a visual shorthand for intellectual dissent against radical ideological trends and as a call for 'equity feminism' over 'gender feminism.'
