This is hard for me too. I know so many women I otherwise like and admire who fall for Glennon's BS hook, line, and sinker. |
This is no joke. One in particular who I know is a really bright and grounded woman or so I thought. She met her husband at a top state school and they always seemed to have a genuinely happy and equal marriage. She became a Glennonite...or Monkey or whatever in the past few years and I am telling you it's like she needs to be Glennon. She has been to Glennon concerts or patriarchy uprisings or whatever they are. She thinks she may be bisexual, which is fine, but it never occured to her before? She told her husband she needed a break. She posted all these photos of her kids at the Women's march with vagina hats...like 1 photo is fine, but how many vagina hats must we see? She reads all of Glennon's favorite authors now and it looks like she is moving toward divorce. I am sure she was searching for something and there were issues in her marriage, but I can tell you she became obnoxious once she got really into Glennon. |
| What kind of a name is Glennon anyway? |
| Did anyone see the SNL where Michael Che went "undercover" as a white woman named Gretchen? His white woman spoof reminded me so much of Glennon. |
I wonder if she was inspired by her marketing finesse. |
A lot of celebrities share her info on social media too. ELizabeth Gilbert is another one that is all about her herself, but at least she has no children to suffer the consquences of her actions. |

So much internalized misogyny on this thread. Do you really think she should sit down and shut up because she’s made mistakes? Glass houses.
This woman has raised more money and awareness for worthy causes than probably all the posters on this thread combined. And yet you’re all so willing to tear her down for being too outspoken, attention seeking, and self-promoting. If it means she has more followers to spread her message to and help make a positive impact, then isn’t that a good thing? |
You know, we can find someone distasteful without it being "internalized misogyny". I don't have to like her just because we're both women. I find both her and Elizabeth Gilbert appallingly self-centered. |
I don't like her, but agree that her fundraising and commitment seem real. I'll take Glennon over Jordan Peterson any day! |
Exactly. Being a feminist, which I am, doesn’t mean I love what every woman does. I despise men who are hypocrites, too. |
In Untamed, it was really barfy when she talked about “Liz” and spent pages talking about her before “revealing” it is Liz Gilbert. OMG! All hail! Another histrionic woman. |
I am a new poster and I do—thank God!!—live under a rock. I have little idea what Oprah is doing and don’t care. I had never heard of this Glennon person. Sadly, I bought this wretched book Untamed. Ugh. Narcissist. She writes of how important she thinks she is. I am barfing my way through the pages. |
Well this did not age well when it comes to terrorism against Jewish people or Hamas telling innocent Palestinians not to leave or using them as shields. Did she speak out against what Hamas did? Did she make it clear there was evil here? Nope because it's not that love Wins with G... Woke wins! She will keep her statements vague. |
| She's terrible. I tried to read her book before I knew much about her, so many people I knew liked it. Whoa was that something. Could not finish. Could not believe someone was taking those views and selling them. She seems severely dysfunctional. |
Agree. Glennon is navel gazing at its finest. I require more thought from people. I just can’t pray at the temple of self-absorption. |
