Rejected and Upset!

[bicrim]

I was rejected and am upset. The "Hip Moms" meetup club in my county rejected my application to join, saying that the fact that I am bisexual, poly, and an extended breastfeeder might make the other members "uncomfortable". My god--I am not joining a mom's group to meet chicks for hot sex! What bigots! I don't do well with rejection like this, reminds me of being the fat girl in middle school.

do they stem from hip mama or consider themselves a part of it? you might want to let ariel gore know (if they do consider themselves part of that), she'd be PISSED.

that is exactly what I thought! She is bi, right?

[kisstheground.livejournal.com]

yup, and she was married to a woman at one point. if they're associating themselves with the site/mag/ariel's vision, i would say she would be pissed.

How hip can they be if they're not comfortable with you?! Hmph!

I'm sorry you were rejected, sweetie. And I know it's probably what your mom told you when you were the fat girl in middle school, but it's true--it says more about them than it does about you. *hug*

what exactly makes them so "hip"? what? they formula feed and work full time!?!?!??!

if i were you, i'd not worry too much about them. if they are that bigoted and narrow-minded, then they are not really women you want to be around.

how shitty! It's their loss; we'll be selfish & keep your friendship all to us! Too bad you don't leave near me; we could start our own mom's club, even though mine are way older than yours is. But I have lots of friends with very little babies. And I want another one, but that's a story for another time. And i'm drinking. :P We're chatting on yahoo tonight if you wanna come join us

Ooh, let's lie on our applications and pretend we are boring mildly hip moms and get in, then overthrow the group and fill it with crazy extended breastfeeding, poly, queer, kinky, nudist fat girls. That'll show them. I'm in! I don't mind driving.

What idiots.

You know, people that call themselves 'hip' or 'cool' seldom are.

In your shoes, I'd likely email them back that it's just as well-- bland, boring, brainless bottlfedding bigots make *you* uncomfortable. Musta been a typo, That's dip, not hip...

good grief!

there's so many things wrong with that I don't know where to start. luckily, everybody else already said it.

I owe you lunch, from one poly/queer/breastfeeding mama to another.

do these folks have a website or something?
