You know what’s weirder than a lurker calling her out? The fact that all these people on ML engage with her on a regular basis and DON’T call her out. No, that’s not weird that’s infuriating, and why many WOC aren’t comfortable here, because this shit gets passed around over and over again and no one calls it out. Because people are scared of confrontation or some other BS excuse.
Just like when Megstoo said some bullshit about poor people not as deserving of healthcare because she’s struggling with IF. And when it was called out she ghosted then came back like nothing happened.
HOLY CRAP that is infuriating. I posted in that thread but must not have ever gone back after I did because reading all of that was new to me. My H has a cousin who says the same shit and I had to cut him out of my life because of it.
And I will admit that sometimes I will see a post without looking at who posted it and "like it" for some reason or another and then see that it is one of the posters who we are calling out ONCE AGAIN (get the hint guys) and I immediately "unlike" the post because WTF are you doing here. Get out.

What is it now though? Boring as fuck, for one. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not longing for the ML days of yore. I was a bored and angry infertile, then a bored SAHM, and now I realize that I could have gotten a Masters in the time I spent with you bitches.
Yeah, but like 75% of masters degrees are pointless.
😓
I just saw this (reading back to see what Megstoo said). I do agree with you though and if I get this job I've recently interviewed for, it will have been a waste. But after spending my entire career in such a niche (Union collective bargaining agreements/fund accounting) I felt the need to make myself more marketable.

I was absolutely joking. I have a graduate degree. No tears on Christmas Eve about higher education!

Oh I wasn't offended or anything! Just found it funny how you wrote that probably at the same time I was writing my post, lol. My undergrad was useless too (Psych BA) so it could be my "thing".
