What are Jen's real options moving forward?  She's almost 50 and has beaten the white progressive suburban wine mom girlboss of all the things to death.  Besides other women do this much better and are a lot younger.  She completely lost her former evangelical audience, which left with a lot of pain and sadness and were never really replaced as progressive fans are not as loyal and are a lot more fickle.  She never had an HGTV audience.  She already wrote her manifesto which sold bupkis.  Her cook book didn't sell either.   Her podcasts are bore fests with guests no one cares about.   Her charity grift is over, same as Glennon's which is a strange coincidence.  [/quote]

Curious what do you consider her manifesto? I’ll be honest, I’ve never read any of her books. I’m just an internet lurker. I followed her for a bit on fb but when Syd came out and her tone became OTT progressive I unfollowed. Then I found this rabbit hole.[/quote]

So you unfollowed her because her daughter is gay? That's seriously the least obnoxious thing about Jen and I'm a registered Republican who is voting for Trump. The fact that she supports her gay daughter and gives her as much online love as she does the rest of her kids is pretty awesome.

BTW, some of her books are free on the premium Kindle subscription if you want to get a taste. [/quote]

NP—and I think most people would relate to and applaud supporting her gay daughter. I read PP’s post as distinguishing a difference between “I love my daughter no matter who she loves and I’m proud to be her mom” and the “now that my daughter is gay—we should all go wave pride flags and cheer on open celebrations of BDSM and public displays of kink in the name of inclusion—and if you don’t squeal and clap with delight at the spectacle of a man in leather chaps spanking the dude in the dog collar while on the pride parade float, you’re probably a homophobe” brand of progressive brow-beating that is so often framed as support and acceptance.

For the record—I think any parent showing love and support for their kids in equal measure is fantastic. But her turning her child’s homosexuality into the focal point of her identity and then using it to make it all about her is just off.
It rings as disingenuous.[/quote]

Yes! This. Thank you for finding the words I couldn’t. It’s almost like she had to go over the top to make herself believe she supported Sydney. If that makes sense. [/quote]
