Life works in some very ironic ways at times.
While talking to some bloggers new to blogging this past weekend, I got asked, “What happens when you get a hateful comment?”
I told them that I laugh.
I laugh at the stupidity of it all. Because just as it’s been proven through America’s Funniest Home Videos, sometimes stupid is entertaining.
Then, today this theory got tested.
Parenting.com printed an article I wrote about choosing not to breastfeed. You can read the article here.
And of course, the haters came out.
But one hater in particular came out and called me a “hoe”.
And did I laugh?
Oh my word – did I ever!
First of all, I laughed at the spelling. I’ve never been called a gardening tool in anger so it was very entertaining.
Then I laughed at the fact that she called me a “nasty hoe” for giving my child formula. Now, I did fool around a bit in college but I don’t think I ever got to “hoe” level and considering that I’m only sleeping with one man now in life, I think my chances of getting that high on the slut food chain are quite low.
So trust me, bloggers and writers, when I tell you that Taylor Swift was actually on to something. No, not about that bright red lipstick she’s always wearing, but rather about shaking it off.
And so, to the person who called me a “hoe” – this is for you.
