Caitlyn Schollmeier, a certified nurse midwife in training, has an impressive background that includes serving as a medic in the Air Force and competing in beauty pageants. Despite not working as a labor and delivery nurse, Caitlyn has amassed a substantial social media following, where she shares her thoughts on the birthing system and other topics. Caitlyn has faced criticism for her participation in beauty pageants, with some viewing it as contradictory to her feminist beliefs. However, she sees pageants as a form of personal development and a way to challenge herself and that women should be able to pursue whatever interests they have, whether they align with traditional expectations or not. As she continues to advocate for women in the birthing system, Caitlyn embraces the idea that women are complex and multi-faceted beings who can pursue various passions. She believes feminism means challenging societal expectations and allowing women to pursue their interests without judgment. She notes that even those who claim to be feminists may still try to impose their own beliefs on women, instead of allowing them to define their own paths.
