[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you stupid broads really debating grammar instead of the very real phenomenon in OP? This forum is overrun by dumb bitches.[/quote]

What's dumb is not acknowledging that one made a mistake and graciously accepting a very gentle correction. The original correction was hardly vicious, but the "ingratiated' lady went off the deep end.[/quote]

Uh oh, one of the gramma trolls got called out and doesn't like it. Everyone in the thread hates you, deal with it. [/quote]
I'm the PP who called you all stupid broads and I think both the grammar Nazis and the OP are idiots. The first grammar Nazi should have let OP's post go without correcting her. Adults don't need your correction. If you know the right way to use the word, then go ahead and use it the right way and let other adults be. I would be remiss not to note, however, that OP is a fool too. She misused the word and then was too proud to accept correction. I understand that being corrected pricks a person's pride, but OP should have been woman enough to admit her error before the whole thread was derailed. Everyone who participated in that nonsense gets an "F" for fool.[/quote]

Hi, I am the PP who got corrected.  You are assuming I didn't use it deliberately that way.  It's not about pride, it's about I'm not going to be schooled by someone on something that I did correctly.  Period.  I gave a polite response, and then it was like a herd of hyenas descended.  Whereas before the thread was empty.  THIS is the issue of DCUM and why threads get derailed- a kind of mob mentality.  I think this is what other posters are talking about with re: women are the worst.  I disagree wholeheartedly but it is something I don't see men doing, and comes from, I believe a place of deep internalized misogyny.  This instinct and thrill of tearing other women down- it's pathological.

Anyway, I hope OP knows I still support her wholeheartedly and other women (just not the ladies on this thread, lol).  It was an unfortunate turn of events, but hopefully some can find the humor in it, as another example of DCUM absurdity. [/quote]

At some point you said you write professionally.  I assume it is for Jezebel.  Otherwise, your career won't go far because you are misusing words and refuse to learn from mistakes.  I wasn't sure if you used "ingratiate" (and "sharpened") incorrectly to be clever or because you didn't know better.  At first I thought it was the former, but I've come to the conclusion that it's the latter.

No, this thread is not representative of the patriarchy keeping women down or of women sniping at each other about dumb stuff.  It's an example of one poster who refuses to be wrong, even when she is.  That's just the internet, not patriarchy or sisterhood or handmaidens.  [/quote]

No, it's about a website made up of mostly middle aged women renowned for their disagreeableness and viciousness.  Which they've decided to direct towards me, in a perfect example of internalized misogyny and what gives DCUM a bad reputation.  And you know?  I'm not taking it.  I do write professionally, and have not misused any words.  And I will continue to fight back against psychotic posters who curse people out and your run of the mill bullies who hope that, if they dogpile me, I'll admit to something I didn't do.  Spoiler alert: it isn't gonna happen.  So you can keep on doing it.  But don't expect me to give in- I'm simply not the one.  And I don't respect bullies. [/quote]
