Rain Dove: I'm conflicted

Rain Dove is a US fashion model, 6'2" by the time she was ten, with both a "masculine" face and an impressive figure.

Not surprisingly that's brought a lot of difficult situations, and Rain has developed some amazing people management skills demonstrated over on Instagram with screenshots of online conversations.

They're a masterclass in dealing with aggressive confrontational behaviour, understanding that it often comes from a place of sadness and fear, and I will be taking notes.

However.

I first became aware when friends were sharing one of the conversations as 'beautiful'. So I looked.

A mother had contacted Rain in despair because after reading Rain's Instagram her ten year old daughter was asking for a binder, and she was blaming Rain for influencing her child.

By the end, Rain had convinced her that the child would be using dangerous improvised methods to bind anyway, so she should get her the binder.

I'm conflicted - I'm admiring the communication, self discipline and influencing skills while at the same time appalled how easily they can be used to persuade a mother that she should enable her child to bind - using nothing but the best.

This popped up on my Facebook, I started reading it and thought it was a wind up so closed it. The bit I did read just seemed very contrived.

Paid advert - probs.

Yes I think it must have been a paid endorsement.. that mom reads like a caricature but if she was real.. would you really have consented to share it with the world?

Rose McGowan’s girlfriend... wasn’t Rose the woman who was verbally abused in a very aggressive way by a tra at her book launch? I may be confused.

The stock photo used says it all.

Looks quite probable this was made up
