Sarah Nicole Landry puts her female children into traditional, outdated gender boxes and it’s bothered me for a long time. I remember when her son was younger and he was encouraged to be who he is and wore nail polish and what some may consider non-traditional clothes for boys but she doesn’t do the same for her daughters. She’s all about dressing L up in extremely feminine clothes, always encouraging her to ‘do her nails’ and get her hair done and then drags her to the stupid Disney salon. We never see L out playing ball or learning to ride a bike. She’s taken on walks and then allowed some time to play at the park. That seems to be it. She doesn’t have trucks or cars to play with. All the toys are gendered for females like the Barbies. Even the movies the child is exposed to aren’t diverse. Sarah has mentioned in her stories, more than once, the child does not like having her hair washed so why would she think this is a great activity for her? She did it for the Gram. That’s the only reason. She dresses the pre-schooler in floofy, synthetic fabric dresses in the Florida swamp heat and drags her around pushing her into Sarah’s box.
The fact she also put L down by saying the thing about her hair. Like sensory overload is real, adults included. I can only imagine the amount of lights/sounds combined with the constant touching of your face/nails etc would be so overwhelming. Have some compassion Birdshit
OP and your comment Beepbopajeepp. 👏 Sarah her flock, Joanna Knix, Meredith Shaw & company, this group irritate audiences when they chat about inclusion. The negative responses may be deleted from their socials but they don't go away. This group are all cis gender, married, suburban-living, white women who come from privilege. They call themselves girl bosses but they all fit into a traditional gender/lifestyle box. They all amplify a trad-lifestyle with a cute career twist. Meredith Shaw and Joanna Knix are from very wealthy families and Sarah's family never struggled. I've noticed this group barely support women who don't fit into their cookie cutter mold. When they do this group radiate "I'm helping". The make everyone's story their own, how they can identify with those they pretend to uplift. They never consider the discrimination and misogyny others really face.
Not to mention, when Sarah was pregnant with L, she made a big deal about how she wasn't going to adhere to gender norms, etc. That's the whole thing: don't pretend and lie to get inclusivity points- which in and of itself is offensive- but it’s exactly what she does with everything she does or says. She manipulates her audience for likes/follows from new audiences. She's so gross.
This is why it bothers me as much as it does. She's such a hypocrite and liar, saying whatever fits the narrative in the moment with zero follow through on her word. Just pretends like things don't exist, and silences and blocks anyone who tries to question it. all while her platform and wealth are built on "authenticity" what a fucking joke
