OP here. Our neighborhood is really diverse so it kind of amazes me how often I wind up in proximity to women like this but it pretty much always happens. Right now my elementary-age kid attends a school (local public) where two such women are engaged in a weird battle for control of the PTA and one of them keeps trying to adopt me to her side even though I'm not super into the PTA and it's so uncomfortable and weird. I am getting tired of just always plastering a smile on my face at school events and then trying to duck out early to avoid running into either of them or winding up in a conversation with another parent who wants to discuss this dumb battle. I just don't care. But it also means it's hard to make friends at the school because so much revolves around these women who suck all the air out of every room.

You don't have to befriend moms at your kids' school. This is an easy problem to solve. Be friendly but don't be friends. You have to change the tone you are giving off.

LOL, wasn’t hard to copy and paste. I did add paragraph breaks because OP “who works in comms” doesn’t know how to use them. The only thing difficult about copying her writing style was that I would never be so long-winded.

So if you don't feel personally attacked by this thread topic, you are spending your Saturday posting extensively in this thread because... why?

No one would get this invested in this topic if their actual response to the OP was "huh, I have never encountered that, how strange." You are responding defensively.

And why shouldn’t I defend the women OP is trying to ridicule or diminish? Sure, I’m standing up for women whose crime is seemingly to exist, and be more popular, essential, successful and relevant than OP.

I thought your claim is that such women don't exist.

And why would anyone "popular, essential, successful, and relevant" need to be defended in a weekend thread on DCUM? The woman you describe would be 100% fine without your intervention.

They’re human, too, and don’t deserve to be shat upon just because OP feels insecure, except when she’s an anonymous keyboard warrior. Because it’s gross that she probably smiles to their face and then spews this jealous, bitter poison.

You were worried for successful, popular women who might stumble upon this thread and apparently take offense, so you thought you should write a screed making fun of people for being fat or friendless to defend them?

You do know the popular girl is not going to befriend you because you stuck up for a hypothetical version of her on some dumb anonymous message board? Right?

You do know that all the women you are so transparently jealous of and resentful of aren’t going to become miserable, bitter shrews like you just because you throw anonymous hate their way? Right?

Of course they won't. It won't impact those women in any way. Some people who struggle with this personality type blew off some steam. The only person melting down here is you, for some reason.

You can obviously aren't a super successful, confident, capable person, or you wouldn't be on this thread throwing a fit. Yet you claim to hate those of us who are jealous of and resent such women. I honestly don't get what your deal is.

I’m participating in a thread that I find interesting, same as you. I’m making counterpoints and arguments, same as you. Are you MAGA? Because the only people I know who characterize discourse they don’t like or agree with as “melting down” are MAGA types. How very interesting.

If I used all caps, or foul language, you may have a point. But no, all I’m doing is…not agreeing with you. And you’re calling that a meltdown. I fin that to be extremely amusing. That’s my “deal”: it amuses me that you can’t handle someone with a different viewpoint.

If you are the person who wrote the lengthy parody of the OP making fun of fat people and people from dysfunctional families, yes, I think you are melting down. That was one of the meanest things I've read on this site in a while. You are punching down.

Accusing me of being MAGA because I disagree with you? That also tracks with your other behavior I'm this thread.

No, I didn’t write the parody. But I think it’s very interesting that OP’s post was somehow just “venting” but any pushback on it is people being horrible.

I didn’t accuse you of being MAGA because you disagree with me. I accused you of being MAGA because those are seriously the only people I know who characterize disagreement as “melting down” and “throwing a fit.” If the shoe fits…

MAGA aren’t the only people who deflect. Any reasonable person would agree that that evil, vile response to the OP was a meltdown…I am trying to unsee it. It’s interesting that you didn’t write the parody but you seem to defend it. I hope the parody poster (PP) doesn’t have children, can you imagine sending your DC to play in a household with someone or multiple people that think like this and model this mentality with their own children.
? Talk about not knowing what goes on behind closed doors. Is there a fiery inferno burning in PP’s basement? OMG

OP here. We are not "kind of" middle class. We are middle class. We own a tiny home we bought for under 500k when rates were really low and cannot afford to fix it up or to move. We have extremely normal jobs with no power or prestige. Public schools, modest backgrounds. I work in a field with a lot of jobs in the DC area due to the federal government and all the universities, which is how we wound up here, but it's not a glamorous field at all.

My perception is that a lot of the people I encounter like this only make slightly more than we do, but either have a spouse making a lot or have money from family. We don't live in NW DC or one of the pricy suburbs. I assume this issue is even worse in those communities, but I'll never find out because we could never afford to live there, nor will we ever send our kids to any of these elite privates (or any private school) or get them involved in any super expensive EC. But even in our very middle class existence, I encounter people like this a lot.

Well I was referring specifically to that post, which yes I think is a "melt down" because it was so unkind to people whose only offense is not being super successful in life.

The MAGA accusation is ridiculous on its face. I'm not MAGA, and haven't written a single thing in this thread advocating for MAGA views, which I abhor. That feels like a rhetorical trick to try to win an argument by associating me with hateful people. Do you often try to score points by accusing someone who disagrees with you of being a hateful racist with no evidence? Seems shady.

You can obviously aren't a super successful, confident, capable person, or you wouldn't be on this thread throwing a fit. Yet you claim to hate those of us who are jealous of and resent such women. I honestly don't get what your deal is.

Your post isn’t clever and the OP does describe you. You were triggered for this reason.

LOL, wasn’t hard to copy and paste. I did add paragraph breaks because OP “who works in comms” doesn’t know how to use them. The only thing difficult about copying her writing style was that I would never be so long-winded.

So if you don't feel personally attacked by this thread topic, you are spending your Saturday posting extensively in this thread because... why?

No one would get this invested in this topic if their actual response to the OP was "huh, I have never encountered that, how strange." You are responding defensively.

And why shouldn’t I defend the women OP is trying to ridicule or diminish? Sure, I’m standing up for women whose crime is seemingly to exist, and be more popular, essential, successful and relevant than OP.

I thought your claim is that such women don't exist.

And why would anyone "popular, essential, successful, and relevant" need to be defended in a weekend thread on DCUM? The woman you describe would be 100% fine without your intervention.

They’re human, too, and don’t deserve to be shat upon just because OP feels insecure, except when she’s an anonymous keyboard warrior. Because it’s gross that she probably smiles to their face and then spews this jealous, bitter poison.

You were worried for successful, popular women who might stumble upon this thread and apparently take offense, so you thought you should write a screed making fun of people for being fat or friendless to defend them?

You do know the popular girl is not going to befriend you because you stuck up for a hypothetical version of her on some dumb anonymous message board? Right?

You do know that all the women you are so transparently jealous of and resentful of aren’t going to become miserable, bitter shrews like you just because you throw anonymous hate their way? Right?
