So the Guardian said it was like a bit of a grift to talk about what's happening to girls.

The New Statesman said, you know, I can't possibly save anyone because their argument was because I'm selling the book.

And so because I talk about consumerism, I can't actually sell the book.

I just need to write it and just leave it on the floor.

Yeah, but you have to sell.

Who has so much integrity that they didn't even sell their anti-capitalist book?

They just gave it to people.

I just don't think that's an argument.

Yeah, but I think what's happening is...

There's been all kinds of criticism from all different directions and some of them cancel each other out.

And so I think the real thing is that I'm just not the politically correct person to say it.

And I don't have all the disclaimers.

I don't talk about political issues in the Middle East.

I don't talk about the patriarchy.

I talk about what I genuinely think affected me and is affecting young women that I know.

And so I think they come up with all other angles of criticism rather than saying it's because she reaches conservative conclusions.

No, because they think that...

We live in a patriarchy and the problem is men and I'm sort of deflecting it onto social media platforms.

Also that social media platforms are where girls can learn about feminist ideas and express themselves and those are good for women.

Yeah, well, that's an irony with all of these industries.
