   Okay, I really want to say 'you can just unfollow these people, you know' but this really is a compendium of why econ twitter can be super annoying sometimes.

   And I say this as a first-generation PhD who uses game theory to bargain with her dog and is hate-lurking on EJMR (but I would never tweet these things because who cares?)

   My favorite econtwitterbs themes are:
   1. I’m the first person in my family who got a PhD
   2. I’m such a nerd I use game theory to bargain with my kids
   3. As a white male I can’t even comprehend the terrible obstacles that my female colleagues have to overcome everyday
   4. I promised I would never visit EJMR again, but look at this screenshot of a mysoginic post I captured after three weeks of continuously monitoring that cesspool
   5. My 6 months old just ate her first pizza slide: I don’t habe to cook for her any more!
   6. A former student just wrote to me that my econometrics class changed his life forever
   7. Personal news: In September I will be moving to ULRM!!! So excited about all my new talented colleagues

   My life is soooo tough that I have to have my assistant aggregate my teaching evaluations and filter out the negative ones.

   That has got to be a joke. I know it looks serious, but it's hard to believe anyone with IQ above 100 could write anything like that

   Thank you for your kind words. I think you should see a doc (a real one), because it appears your mind is stuck in one gear only.

   Lol, such low grade pr ole trolling from some industry hack who pretends to be an academic. Did taleb send you here? Youre uneducated clueless losers who s**t up this place.

    94f6, you realize that every person's posts here have a unique (0-9 and a-z = 36 and 36^4 is a big number) ID next to them, and everybody can see which posts are coming from the same person pretending to be multitudes, right?

    Here is one of the responses: "Trying to figure out which has the higher B/C ratio: 1) Using University resources, or a colleague's valuable time to prevent my feelings from getting hurt by anonymous comments by student trolls, or 2) Accepting that there are a small number of student trolls and moving on?"

    Administrative assistant inequity is real!

    No one expects female economists to wear uncomfortable shoes.

    LOLOLOL . Obviously Taleb and yet so stupid he hasn't figured out how this site generates unique identifiers -- despite him having come here seeking validation for years.

    That Taleb is such a fool made my week!

    No one expects female economists to wear uncomfortable shoes.

    It's hilarious the kind of justification they give for why they dress uncomfortably ("it's required to be taken seriously").

    They really are unable to take any responsibility for their own actions, everything is male-drive oppression.

    This is despite the fact that basically all women's clothing is an arms race against other women and much of it (business and casual) just looks ridiculous to men.

    Also: have you noticed how many times women go "you don't know what it's like being a woman" and a bunch of "men" immediately back them up with "it must be so hard for our female colleagues" - had there ever been a case where female economists on twitter have an epiphany and realize that men's lives aren't all "yeah I'll just go for males-only beers at the hot tub with my pals who are all editors and recruiting committee chairs and then they accept my paper"

    94f6 has a valid point. And getting triggered by his comment resulting in two angry replies only shows more evidence that he
    is right about that, posts like these replies make this thread as dumb as the tweets people here are complaining ITT.
    LJL hypocrisy
