Megan Marckle 'Archetype'

I actually quite like the podcast so it's not a bitching post.
But.... she's using archetype wrong right? Doesn't she mean stereotype? Wouldn't archetype mean that women did start out being crazy etc which is what she's trying to debunk.
Or am I the one using it wrong?!!!

YABU to start another post on anything related to Meghan, whose name you haven't even bothered to spell correctly.

Womanonthemoon · 16/10/2022 10:55

YANBU. She's clearly chosen the title because of its similarity to Archewell/Archie so fits the'brand' rather than concentrating on the actual meaning of the word.

LemonRedwood · 16/10/2022 10:55

It's not the first time she's demonstrated that she doesn't know what some words mean.

Here we go again. Catnip for the Meghan-haters.

Archetypes are stock characters aren’t they?
like - the ingenue, the trickster, the lover?

stereotypes are characters based on prejudices ? Scouser in a shell suit.

I find Megan like any other minor celebrity, trying to convince the world of their relevance. Michelle Obama she is not.

Maybe she didn’t look it up. I mean you haven’t even managed to spell one of her names right, so you’ve not bothered to look that up, have you?

That's more along my understanding. Stereotype fits the meaning of her chats better

This isn't Meghan hating ffs. I said I like her podcast. Just questioning the meaning of the word

Oh God just leave her alone

Yes, she is misunderstanding the term. She is no genius (to put it politely). It has been flagged repeatedly but I think we are meant to Archmind our own ArchBusiness.
Archebye!

DrDetriment · 16/10/2022 11:37

Yes she means stereotypes but everything they do is part of the Archwell brand or whatever it's called so has to have that shoehorned into it.

Isitsixoclockalready · 16/10/2022 11:39

Why do people get so worked up about her? Do you have to be a royalist to get emotionally engaged? Personally, I can't get emotionally invested in her or Harry either way.

Disabrie22 · 16/10/2022 12:12

Yep there’s a lot more to get stressed about than Meghan - although I still feel like I paid for Harry’s private school education and he owes me 😂😂😂
