I've just seen her insta story about confidence-she understands people not being confident, "especially as a woman in a world that teaches you to be insecure because it's profitable for companies to prey upon". She also says "women are taught to be cute, people-pleasing, overly nice" to the extent where it's hard to cultivate your true self unapologetically.
I don't even know where to start with this. The first quote about profitability sounds like she's just plucked it out of some social issues book. The way she's presenting women here is like saying they are too weak and have been overpowered by capitalism. I don't deny that capitalism has negatively impacted women's rights and position in society, but it's a lot more complex than "a company had the power to force women to be a certain way." It's just clear she's trying to be so woke but is just using buzz phrases. I don't know about you guys but I don't know any woman who has been taught to be cute and overly nice by society. I myself feel that at no point in my life have I been pressured to be any of these things. I know this is a complex issue and that some people may feel this way because of certain positions they have been in, but what I'm saying is that the majority of girls and women would not claim to have been affected this way. What I think is happening here is that Jade is trying hard to be woke, and trying to do some good I concede but the things she's saying simply aren't true, and I fear that if we continue to view women as having been forced by capitalism to be "cute" and "people pleasing" then we are just going to speak it into existence as a self fulfilling prophecy, especially when it's someone with as big an audience as Jade. There is a clear difference with how the patriarchy and capitalism WANTS women to be, and how women ACTUALLY ARE. Her failure to distinguish this is highly concerning.
