I completely agree with all of the comments here. They’ve just made themselves look worse arguing with people and trying to tell them what their opinion of Nelly should be and parroting that it’s empowering. The thing that really annoyed me however is the constant “stop telling us because we aren’t parents that we don’t get it, you can’t say that”. As a parent myself, I try my hardest to be more “with the times” and do things right involving modern life, making sure we are getting things “right”. while yes a female should be able to wear what she likes when she likes, be empowered, there is a line. I don’t feel that walking around in lingerie really sends the right message. Yes there are adverts and shop displays around that are overtly sexual but to do the same to almost compete and argue back doesn’t make sense. It’s just trying to point score and doesn’t achieve anything.
I understand it can be insensitive to say to someone you aren’t a parent, you wouldn’t understand, but I feel entirely different about things since I became a parent. At the end of the day, keeping our children innocent and protected as long as we can in this crazy, social media heavy world isn’t a bad thing. I honestly dread the day I have to tackle social media, phones, etc because I know the exposure and dangers that come with it.
I used to really like Em, found her in lockdown with the FGF and I really needed those happy stories to help me see that the world was still turning and there were still things to be excited about. But in recent months she’s really irritated me. I liked the podcast but after a few episodes couldn’t listen anymore. When she got Covid before her recent op and kept moaning, I mentioned it to my husband and he was like if it was so important time wise why was she out socialising, putting herself at risk knowing if she got Covid she couldn’t have the op. She was extremely lucky her surgeon just squeezed her in the next week, anybody else would have had to wait months. I watched ant & dec recently, they pranked Jeremy Clarkson and his reaction was quite I’ve never really paid attention to stories or watched top gear so don’t have any idea the kind of person he is. Very close to unfollowing Em as she’s just become insufferable.
