As we've got a lot of lovely new Fraus I did want to explain a few things about my thoughts on Jack. I'm aware I don't need to, and I'm certainly not speaking for any other Frau but this is what I want to say, hopefully not too clumsily.
Things I absolutely do not care about
1. Her name. Anyone can change their name and I changed mine for a far less valid reason - moving into a house with a man.
2. Her gender. Gender is fluid; I truly feel heartfelt sympathy for anyone who doesn't feel like their body matches their gender and people can change their views and feelings on this. Whether she was wearing a binder or not and when, and how she feels about her boobs etc are of no interest and I hope she can find peace.
3. Her sexuality. Again, this can be fluid, she can sleep with whoever she wants; she can have a baby by whatever means she wants.
4. What she spends her money on. She can buy as many wooden calculators, Emins, freezers, hammocks and Waitrose ready meals as she wants and good luck to her.
5. Her illnesses/conditions/diagnoses. These can be diagnosed at any time in life, she could have her medication changed, she might feel a lot better at certain times than others.
Things I find interesting and/or amusing
1. The drama. When I was a bit of a squiggle I used to watch all this in a sort of 'how can so many weird things happen to one person' sort of way
2. The weird recipes. In the earlier days they were so much better; they've started to get way more maverick to almost the point of parody but people can either make them or not make them, up to them.
3. Brands/media outlets commissioning her for work. She's not my cup of tea, either her written work and especially not her screen presence, but they spend their money however they want and presumably they wouldn't do so if they didn't think there was a market for her work.
4. Her lies - I eat sugar/don't eat sugar - have a cat/don't have a cat - rollover rental contract/not rollover. They're just plain daft but they're quite fun to follow and would be a million times less easy to spot if she stopped living her life on the internet.
Things I cannot abide
1. Her pretending to be poor. Either have all this work and best selling publications or don't. Stop lying about finding things in puddles, or charity shops, or that a company let you keep them. Own your shit.
2. Her tip jar rattling. You have adverts on your website, you sell books through it, blogs are free to the end user, that is the whole point of them.
3. Her lack of responsibility. Stop saying you will do things/post things/send things and not doing them. Again, this would be a million times easier if you stopped living your life on the internet.
4. One rule for Jack, one for everyone else. Pile ons, cooking 'inauthentic' versions of meals, including cooking time, energy costs and freezer space in recipes etc.
5. The absolute fraud of a lie that she lives on £20 per week. If she even just stopped doing this I would hugely warm to her. This is extremely damaging; it shames people who can't manage it; it's a stick for tory wankers; it encourages and triggers eating disorders from tiny portions and calorie deficits and it's very very harmful.
Think that's covered my views.
The BEST thing about her is coming here and 'meeting' all you wonderful, witty, knowledgeable, funny Fraus.
Now absolutely FUCK OFF x
