Fair enough, you’re a fan. This isn’t a rave thread so you may not like what you read.
I stand by my opinion that they try to present themselves as everywomen and often downplay their privilege - I am sure Dolly says something in her book about her upbringing being totally normal, but to me, a woman from a working class background, it absolutely isn’t. According to another post on this thread, they recently complained about being known as “posh podcasters”, but isn’t that what they are? If they are so open to admitting their privilege, why does that bother them?
I also stand by my point about their names. Dolly in the UK can have a very different connotation from in the US. Dolly Wells is the first person who comes to my mind - a privileged actress from a well-known London family. It doesn’t matter if it’s a nickname - it’s her professional name, and going by such a name professionally, in my opinion, takes the balls that growing up in privilege affords you.
Even if you don’t agree about Dolly, you can surely see the point about Pandora’s name! It was one factor I noted, amongst others, of how it’s obvious they are from rich backgrounds, as another poster didn’t recognise those factors. Seems a moot point for you to pick out anyway because you know they are privileged and according to you, they’ve never shied away from admitting that.
There are several other fair complaints made about them on this thread - their deliberate ignoring of MOD drama, after interviewing her previously, for example. I would say it’s a huge stretch to find this “unfounded”.
