[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The article is clearly meant to be insulting but that doesn’t mean it was well done. It’s just sort of nothing for me. It didn’t land.

I fully agree that she is icky. No one is mad or jealous about the details of her life. Most people find creating a public, personal brand that’s so sanitized and sanctimonious to be kind of gross. It feels pompous and hubristic. But I actually think maybe what’s happening is those of us outside of Christian culture just aren’t used to it, whereas people inside Christian-land don’t find it jarring or unusual. [/quote]

It’s “nothing” and doesn’t land because that’s what the writer absorbed from Katherine; there wasn’t much substance or depth. There’s a lack of vulnerability and relatability and the article reflected its subject. And that’s fine - Katherine isn’t a bad person, and she isn’t harming anyone; she’s benign. Some people might emulate or aspire to that but most won’t pay much attention (although how were her books best sellers?).[/quote]

Maybe it is also her cultivated persona to the degree that she learned to share next to nothing as a form of self protection. She does sound young and naive, but can you imagine the internalized shame these children had to work through? She's going the other way....maybe in reaction to her father. Uber good, uber wholesome, uber private and "nothing bad to see here" which makes sense as the child of the grandiose, shameless, ugky and entitled Schwarzenegger. My fear is just, she married a milder version of her father....the quieter version. I hope not. But I wonder. [/quote]
