“You only get votes, opportunities and the support you do because you’re a pretty face.”

Ohh my, @llfarms what a crock of shit they're talking . Sorry to get all sweary but this type of thing just yanks my chain.

While being called names like slut and whore could definitely be hurtful.. they actually just made me shake my head and giggle

You have a great attitude and I applaud it. It is just a shame that this type of crap, that is only happening because of your gender, even still happens. Anyway, I know exactly where you're coming from with this article, obvs I haven't experienced the 'just a pretty face' scenario, my beard is to long for that 😉 but when I was much more active as a curie curator I know that feeling where you're working hard behind the scenes and there is no recognition for that. Don't get me wrong, I never looked for, or expected, recognition but when shity attitudes spill onto your blog or in discord it is so disheartening. Sorry you have had to deal with that.

The example I remember, in my case, was to do with someone in a community I was involved with just pushing and pushing for more of my time. At first it made me feel like I was a bad steemian for not putting in as much time as others. After struggling with my natural inclination to want to say yes most of the time, I just realized what it was and said nope, can't do it. Here is what I do behind the scenes, here is an explanation of some health problems that limit me, that is that, accept it or don't.

Anyway, I think that some people have a warped view of anyone doing better than them. That is one reason you get these haters and others are just outright trolls. Fck em, that's what I say.
