Member-only story
I have been a member of Medium since April of last year and in the past six months or so I have seen a large uptick in the sheer amount of comments I read which are completely useless.
These comments are simply to insult the writer, demean them or bash the article they wrote with little or no validity. I myself have received some of these comments and it makes me shake my head at the individuals sending them.
It is very easy to tell that the person, hiding behind some random pseudonym name, usually has not even bothered to read the article in its entirety before blasting off their opinions into the cyberworld.
For me, the comments have typically revolved around articles I have written about relationships or familial relationships in traditional heterosexual relationships.
More than one person (man) has told me I must be some sad, lonely cat lady for writing such pieces.
The sad thing is that this comment (lonely cat lady) has been sent to me by more than three men…
