I was posed with an interesting question why more women are not in IT. It got me to thinking about the dynamics I have seen on this platform including some rather "interesting" observations. Basically at times it seems that men on here throw quarters or some dollars at women on here then expect to be able to dm them and either act like you are their girlfriend or want to know if the drapes match the curtains.

I have developed a thick skin to this but anyone can see how the game works with some. Yes, "Game"....because no matter how you cut it you are using strategy in some form to win an upvote or a follower or have someone throw a penny at you then tell you what a bitch you are because you didn't answer their dm. Some of my friends I can joke around with on a level because I know them but when someone you have never even spoken with or know literally throws a peanut at you then feels they have the right to leave their own version of "50 Shades of Grey" in your dm's.

A while ago I had a slow streak, posts were doing (for me) poorly....so I decided to do a post about my legs, boom, success! Some posts I put my heart in soul into barely make a dent but post a cutesy, silly dipshitty post with some assets and voila, you just paid for a weeks worth of groceries! Hallelujah!

I do quite a bit of parody posts on here along with serious ones and if you pay attention you may see that the sheer comedy of some of the posts I make. Like me joking about the "lifestyle" guru sexy travel blogs where I basically jam my finger into a piece of cake and say how V.I.P. and posh it is. Here is the cool thing, I can throw a couple peanuts back at you if you'd like that and then bombard you with messages and emojis because of feeling I am entitled to do so.
