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.

Yes I'm with you completely, if I get called my dear one time more I might scream! I thought I'd try to get some more coinage by putting a scantily clad lady on my latest post too. You say curtains and drapes, it is also referred to collars and cuffs over here in UK.

The great thing about steemit is you can make any kind of statement you want and usually you will get some feedback. I like your sense of wit and humor. Just please don't start posting about the vast amount of knowledge you know regarding crypto. Boring ! 🐓🐓

hahaha the own "50 Shades of Grey". I bet you did get some colorful messages coming with that subject. lol Girls send me those messages all the time also. lol NOT. In a little bit of a BORAT voice impersonation. lol :)
Just keep having fun on Steemit my friend. Ignore the DM. Unless you're into those whips and 50 shades of gray kind of messages. lol
This post made my day. Lol than you for that. :)

Kidding aside, it's shitty that in this day and age, that kind of behaviour is still a thing. Booh on them and they can go fuck themselves.

Does that actually happen on here? I guess I've been a bit oblivious.
Guys in general can be gross, we are physical creatures and can do some dumb stuff haha. Interesting post, good to get a lady's perspective on the issue

Wow I had no idea! I guess the relatively anonymous nature of the site - if people choose that - perhaps makes it easier to get away with this sort of thing
Thanks for posting and raising awareness - certainly mine

I suppose it's also interesting to consider that this post is doing fairly well too. I'm not sure if that counts as some sort of irony... maybe.
I say keep posting about all subjects. I'd say you're doing a great job combating this type of behavior so far. Use the voting power you've gained to encourage other women in similar situations. That's the way to influence things here on Steemit. Best wishes and thanks for sharing!
