Is this sarcasm? I feel like this could be read from either side of the fence.
Personally I think that the properties she has ("white, straight, wealthy, beautiful") have played some role in her path, but I don't see any problem with her reaching out to some particular demographic. It might not be one I can relate to, but the content just isn't for me.
> Armstrong no doubt had privilege
I think that bringing up "privilege" should only be done when it has some actual relation to the content. There are people from less "privileged" backgrounds who are successful parent bloggers [1], so in this case I don't think it's really relevant to her success. She made content for a while that people enjoyed and the money train run out.
