I love that you have focused this piece on your reaction rather than what caused it, so I really wanted to do the same for you, and comment on your nuanced and honest unpacking of how it made you feel. BUT I CAN'T! I'm sat here twisting with rage that a woman would say those things to another woman, possibly because she was briefed to do so at an event 'masterminded' by a PR to sell an experience. WHAT The actual fuckery is happening here?! How many people signed that idea off. JESUS. Ps. You're well fit. x
Thank you! Yeah it was ABSOLUTELY BAFFLING to think of how many people signed it off. Also it was kept secret what was happening, I thought I signed up to an immersive three course meal where I would get to experience food like I never had! Even taking aside how damaging it is, I also can't imagine being like "yeah let's be mean to people and they'll like what we are selling!"
