my virtue signaling...
I was brought up by an alcoholic man hating mother who was mentally ill and abusive. She bragged “I broke his spirit. It took a lot of effort but I did it.”
My self-esteem has always been abysmally low and my self-confidence, too. I never had a real career or made any above average income despite being born in the US and having intelligence and a college degree (Pol.Sci).
My life has been pretty much of a washout.
When I try to do something I think is right there is always someone to knock me down or put me down.
I actually was thinking of how a woman FReeper would feel if the meme said the lying b—— were everywhere. A mistake. Sorry, everybody.
My bias and my observations here on FR tells me that FReeper women are smart enough to get a joke like that and keep in the intended perspective.
Sorry about your experiences in life. I hope you come to realize that not every criticism that comes your way is intended to crush you into oblivion. Mine certainly wasn’t.
I was a college boy, but in the end chose to be a carpenter and cabinetmaker in this life.
Never got rich, nor expected to be, but I could work for myself and take pride in what I did at the end of the day.
And that's what most of us are fighting for in here - dignity and liberty in our choices, free of a draconian government and its innumerable grasping tentacles.
I feel confident in saying that the vast majority of us are glad you've joined us, and can eventually feel at home with the rest of us 'deplorable' Patriots.
And remember, your vote counts every bit as much as some trust fund weiner on Madison Avenue.
I for one think you had a good point. Most FReepers including our often awesome ladies surely recognize that the original post that bothered you was not directed at our FReeper ladies, but, such posts can and will be well used by our opposition to make us look like nutcases, which only a minority of FReepers are.
