So I listened to her recent podcast episode w Eimer and I have some thoughts.
Overall, I did find her and Eimer to be quite funny and entertaining but there were parts that rubbed me the wrongs way.
Keelin’s constant talk about stretch marks and how she didn’t get any, and how she was so scared, but you know, she just has

genes so she’s immune. This is so weird to me, because didn’t we as a society move on from this fear like ages ago? I’m not Irish so I don’t know the cultural response to stretch marks but in my experience, stretch marks are so normal; it’s impossible for both an adult person (regardless of sex) to not at least be desensitised to them. Even my boyfriend has stretch marks, and I don’t think they detract from his beauty in any way, if anything they add to it. I think it’s a bit weird how she keeps bringing it up. Even if it was a fear of yours, it’s okay now because you don’t have them so why repeatedly mention this?
Eimer repeatedly referencing her weight loss and how happy she is now. I understand she just got out of a breakup, and it’s great that she’s managed to get in shape and be happy, but she kept referring to it over and over. It was a bit obsessive.
The way that Keelin and Eimer spoke about the baby’s physical appearance. It was just so weird, and so not feminist at all. I recall them saying things like “Her lips are so full, people will go to plastic surgeons for her lips”, “She’s going to be so hot when she grows up”, “I’m glad she wasn’t an ugly baby so I didn’t have to lie to you when she was born”, “She’s gonna be so popular”. It was actually so jarring hearing these two women place so much value in this baby’s appearance. Granted the baby is only weeks old so they haven’t developed much of a personality to compliment, however, their face isn’t even fully developed but you’re already imposing all of these aesthetic expectations. I was surprised by how genuinely superficial the conversation was, especially because they brand themselves as feminists, so they should know the damage this talk can do to daughters.
Also just the usual hypocrisies when it comes to environmentalism and her clothing choices.
