Oh I completely agree, and I think it’s a dangerous game when so many people are turning to these influencers over actual research to get their information. Of course they can speak about their own lives and experiences, but they can’t then be angry when people ask about their lives etc, as is the case with Cathy.When it comes to content about feminism or disability or whatever else these Instagram wannabes are talking about, they have absolutely nothing to say on the subject that hasn't already been written with more skill and talent.
Even when the whole FG/SF thing kicked off - what have either of them written about feminism that hasn't already been said by far more interesting and accomplished writers in the last half century? I can't think of much Instagram content, even when it's an accessible introduction to a subject for a new audience, that's genuinely worthy of a book.
Absolutely agree. Florence has successfully done what they're all desperate for.Oh I completely agree, and I think it’s a dangerous game when so many people are turning to these influencers over actual research to get their information.

(my point about FG was that every one of these women were quick to slate her, but all just reek of jealousy!)
Used to really like her content, and learn a lot from it. Feel like she's always angry about something, and actually takes it out on followers who are trying their best to empathise and learn. "DO BETTER" because your best isn't good enough whatever you do, basically. This is partly why people disengage with influencers like Cathy. They can do nothing right. I don't need approval and to be told I'm 'right', but don't beg people to engage with your content then thrash them fo it.
Nowadays she's just desperate to bag a book deal (just kidding, although she's, like, mentioned it serval times now, written some words, just kidding though. "Where's my book deal?' haha jk '6 figures right?!').
UGH.
There's a certain circle of UK feminist insta influencers who are all scrounging for a book deal, and all of these women bashed FG in some way when there was controversy, including Cathy. When more info emerged, and the SF claims were not what they seemed, Cathy uploaded one slide saying she shouldn't have spoken on this issue and wouldn't comment further. So, public flogging of Florence without all the facts is fine, but no public apology.
The reason I mention this is because all these insta 'famous' women wouldn't even have a sniff of a book deal if it wasn't for Florence! I'm a critical fan of hers, but she has paved the way for all these boring, angry grifters to sell their stories.
All these Instagram ranters are like, "pay me for my work!"What makes me laugh is that she rants and raves when people ask her to take part in things like interviews, reality shows. Except when it involves her getting paid. Suddenly she is well up for it, as well as being desperate for a book deal. She did an interview recently but still managed to put up a post moaning about the positives and negatives of it.
Did anyone see the post/story she deleted earlier? She's deleted the story about it now too but said something about not wanting the masses/hoard to come for her, from my memory.
I haven't replied on here for ages, now it's been moved to parenting instagrammers I can never find it on my phone
She's still a massive twat though I can see!
