I think this is multiple posters because whenever it gets posted, multiple reply "I could have posted this."

There are a lot of women in their 40s/50s on here and those are the prime "funk" years.

There are even more women in their 60s, 70s, and even 80s on DCUM.

More? Uh…no. It’s a primarily a mommy website, not a granny website.

Well, some of us have been on here for almost 20 years. Why do you think there is a midlife forum?

+1. I’m one of those, in my 60s now.

Same - 62 and have adult kids. I originally got on when my oldest was in middle school and applying to private HS.

Are you a grandmother now?

Do you think there are more posters who are 60-80 than 40-60?

I’ve posted before that my kids won’t consider red states for a variety of reasons, including women’s healthcare. I see others posting about it as well.

OK, psycho.

Seems like you’re triggered by women having health care. Are you also triggered by LGBTQ kids?

Excuse me, but the correct acronym is LGTBQIA+

Please do better.

What does the I stand for? Incels?

Were you trying to make a lame joke? You failed if so. It was not funny. But you did expose your bigotry.

Everyone knows the “I” stands for intersex peoples.

Even people who are 100% in favor of every possible sexual identity have to be amused by each additional letter added to LGBT…. It’s become a Portlandia satire of itself.

It’s like back in the day when McDonald’s had those signs that said like “Over 500,000,000 served” and they kept adding zeros until it just got to be too much & they finally gave up. So why not just say you support people of all types, A-Z, and be done with it?

I'm just mad that they took the beautifully designed rainbow flag and turned it into a very ugly and incoherent one, with all those additions! I don't mind anyone getting some advocacy and rights, but hands off beautiful design. And now if you fly the rainbow flag it looks like you're anti trans rights - no, just pro good design!

My only issue with the new flag is it looks like South Africa’s flag

The minuscule number of these other deviant sexual identities trying to hitch a ride on the coattails of hard-fought rights for homosexuals is annoying though, to be sure.

Wow.

Disgustingly transphobic much? Bigot.

I think he moves around alot too. His posts are kinda sad tbh.

Hey I am nowhere near that old!! BTW I got my first high powered job at an huge Investment Bank on Wall Street with a full staff working for me at 24. My second job out of college. My first job out of college had a staff of 20 at one point at a bank when 22.

Today white men are facing the greatest discrimination known on this earth. It would be impossible to achieve my success so quick today.

Today I would not even be hired to flip burgers. White men don’t matter. I am pretty sure reparations will happen soon and I will come home and OJ or Al Sharpton be living in my house and me in a cardboard box in an alley.

This is accurate though.

The boys are not all right. Especially white boys.

Someone obsessed with UW Madison.

Someone who just says "call me" when they agree/are amused. It's a little out of context.

There is a person who complains when someone does not use paragraphs consistently.

Then when someone does use paragraphs >> they are accused by another poster for writing poetry.

⁉️

Paragraphs are allowed to be longer than one sentence each. It's in the Geneva Convention.

NP here. Have to agree - too many boxes need to be checked by schools, employers, etc. Our country is effed. Most colleges are 60/40 girls/boys - for what?

One is very helpful and respectful with good insight (the former law partner who retired 8 or so years ago), and another writes in what can only very generously be called garbled English, is from the NY area, professes to have engaged in numerous real estate transactions, claims to have senior positions in a number of companies, and is almost always no value added.

George Santos?

Based on the garbled writing style, I think the second guy may be the same as this one:

+1

Some parents make it so obvious that their DC were not admitted to that particular school. I seriously feel bad for their DC, since the parents are so obviously fixated.

There is a school I sometimes rag on in the College forum and it's not because my kid was rejected. It's because I've known/worked with three different alumni from the school who were both generally awful and also suuuuuuper into their alma mater, and therefore I have nothing positive to say about it even though it's probably not a a terrible school and there are probably kids who are very happy there. I don't think my kid will have any interest in it because of it's location and vibe, but if she did apply, I would be privately relieved if she didn't get in because I don't want anything to do with it.

You do realize this makes you sound really, really crazy? 😳😳

DP here. No, I get it - some alums can be obnoxious and think their school is better than it really is. If it is a historically racist school, I kind of side eye the obnoxious alum.

Why would one need to recognize anyone? That's abnormal investment into an anonymous forum.

Those people (myself included) will typically be nearing 60. Not 60-80.

Very few OG DCUMers would actually be grandmothers now.

False. There are MANY grandmothers on here. They were on here when you millennials were young. It would be interesting to start a thread about how things have changed, or not.

I’m not a millennial and I’ve have been “on” DCUM since it was an email list.

Even if some OG DCUMers are in their 50s-60s the vast majority are not grandparents.

There are more parents than grandparents on here. And there are more 40s-50s than 60s-80s.

There has been an influx of older posters in recent years but many aren’t even based in DC.

+1. And I think that's why the BDSM, daddy-daughter, etc community is no longer associated with the queer community. A few years ago there was a push to make all kink be considered queer and therefore protected. Sorry, no. Liking to wear a diaper in public isn't exactly the same as being gay. Just no.

I love that you assumed that the pp meant "transgender" when they said deviant and you are projecting and calling them a transphobe. Lol!
