i agree with that. That’s an interesting take. It seems like the same rationale behind calling Kylie “self made”. They’re clearly trying to promote themselves in a different light. They are really GREAT at marketing, but it’s become an issue because they’re so used to it working all the time, they’re probably scratching their heads as to why they’ve gotten as rich as they have, without the respect and esteem that “less successful” celebs have. You can market yourself as a fashion icon, a social activist, a beauty guru, etc. all you want. They’re trying to use that same formula to “promote” themselves as admirable, as respectable, as praiseworthy, but it doesn’t work that way.

There’s just some things you can’t buy and apparently there’s some things you can’t “sell” either. They could do it naturally if they learned how to empathize with people. You can own your accomplishments and humblebrag about your work ethic, but you also need to acknowledge when you’ve been afforded privileges that have allowed you to succeed that other women simply don’t have access to. People have no choice but to respect the truth. But they’re not gonna sit back and let you pat yourself on the back for being “self made” or listen to you scoff and tell them to “get the f up and work, it seems like no one wants to work” when they have to apply for a business loan to get the same amount of money that you probably got as an allowance.
