Other than that I can follow most of the thought processes and there is a lot of statements I can get behind. I feel like the evolution of language is grossly overlooked in some of the hot takes on certain expressions, and ‘hey guys’ has long transformed in a common, general greeting to address a group of varying people, not just for men. Second thing I disagree with is that we shouldn’t say ‘hey guys’ because it can make not-guys feel uncomfortable.

Additionally, I feel like bringing up that Jenna once said “she was crucified” in an interview (which she was, however with reason it might have been) is not taking into account the growth that did absolutely occur afterwards. I disagree with that, because nobody gets to decide for someone else how they want to handle their mistakes in the public eye. There are two main things that I vehemently oppose.The first one is the notion that Jenna Marbles when she privately apologised to Franchesca about the whole slutshaming video should have publicly apologised because otherwise it ‘didn’t count’ (I’m paraphrasing but that’s the vibe it gave off). It is a strong, fun book with a headstrong tone at times, but it’s not radically out there. I feel like calling it kooky would be a disservice to everything that real activism is about so no, this is not a kooky book. To learn more about it from the OG SJW in this book? Really freaking cool. On her activism she says: “It felt like an uphill battle, but one I genuinely thought worth it” which I think is a beautiful sentiment.Īlthough I have quietly but wholeheartedly withdrawn from Twitter activism, in my real life I work every day to be inclusive and intersectional in my feminism. There are things in her perspective that I fundamentally disagree with, but I like how her book educates and her approach in the book is very light-hearted. I can imagine that if you are an online activist or if you are interested in learning more about activism and social justice, this is a book you’d like to have a hardcopy of! SUBJECTįranchesca! Like a lot of Youtube and influencer books it is about themselves, but Franchesca is a little bit more interesting than the average Beauty Guru in Youtube land, because her online presence very much focuses on activism and comedy. I bought the Kindle version but there is a print copy available as well. When I saw she had a book out I was pretty curious about it, especially with the tagline “Memoirs and Mistakes of an Accidental Activist.” In my mind Franchesca was always the activist. I used to watch a bit of Franchesca on Youtube and always liked her a lot.

If you want to know more about her or activism, Well That Escalated Quickly is an excellent book to read over the summer. I read Franchesca Ramsey’s book on her career in both media and activism and it was a good read.
