Devils advocate here....but i do have a serious question.
I spoke with ginger, and i understand why she felt the need to write the thread
(Please dont twist my words....i "understand" why she felt the need, but i "didnt" say that i agree )
But, in another thread....vlb made comments about her retiring, and her reason for doing it.
(I didnt read all of her posts in that thread..othee than she was moving on. Why shes doing it, it is her business. I think its great that she successfully implemented an exit strategy!! )
But my point is.....while she explained her reason for quitting, some ladies felt REALLY upset over her comments. So upset, they were in tears!! (It broke my heart....like really. I felt really sad and in a way...it shined some light on why i should be grateful...but i digress)
So, not everyone was dealed the same cards in life. Heck to be a "provider", some may think we were dealt some prwtty shitty cards to do this line of work. But those that were dealt a less fortunate hand, and basically does "this" bc they "cant" do something else for whatever reason, they felt really low about themselves. I give it VLB, She has a great following, she NEVER speaks bad about anything, and many people, idolize her. So when she spoke her mind about why she was leaving, she inadvertantly, "degraded" some women...making them feel not worthy, bc they are "providers"
Ginger is VERY loyal to her friends. Anyone that is loyal, to a friend whos broken down in tears, and extremwly upset, will have "some sort" of reaction.
Now point is this....vlb, w/o maybe even realizing it, hurt quite a few ladies feelings. (So what? You may say, were grown...they need to put their big girl panties on, grow some balls, WHATEVER! But theyre human and we all react differentky when emotions are involved)
Ginger, felt the need to express her opinion on the matter (and many people feel the need to bash ginger. (Who cares? She deserves it! Youre probably thinking)
But if vlb made comments that upset folks, and ginger went on her barbie rampage....
Why is it ok & justifiable for vlb to feel the way she feels and not ginger?
Idk. But i tell you what, reading this thread is SAD!!!
I feel bad for vlb. Regardless if whats posted is true or not, it must not feel good at all to be im vlb shoes and read this. Regardless if ginger matters in her life or not (as some has stated) it must not have felt good to wake up and read the thread. "IF" vlb has personal insecurities, (as stated) i feel even more bad!!
Not calling her weak, BUT if someone "just may not" feel so great about themselves...then this just SUCKS (before anyone says vlbs not weak, you have no idea what i mean....when were at home alone with just your true self and your thoughts...only one can truly answer that about themselves. )
On the other hand....i feel really bad for ginger too!!! Yes she "started" the thread, in response to another thread....but gosh, you folks are CRUEL!!! So much nasty stuff is about her. I dont care if she "deserved" it or not....as a woman reading this, my heart goes out to ginger. Regardless of what wromg she did in your eyes, you guys have totally chewed her up and spit her out. Some of those comments, sting!!!
Vlb spoke her mind, and degraded ladies
Ginger spoke her mind and bashed vlb
The "eccie community" is in an uproar about the latter
Either way...both ladies have had horrible things said about them
And me...well im going to try my very very hardest, to hold my tongue or "watch my keystrokes"
I woukd never want to be the reason why a lady felt down about herself
