Meetup

Meetups setting up these Resist groups deeply upsets me. Firstly whatever your belief system I think it is best for companies to stay non political.

But lets unpack what Meetup are supporting. I am traditionally leftwing and consider myself a feminist, I am pro choice, and I also feel very sorry for the Syrian and Iraqi refugees, and I do understand that some innocent people will be caught up in this Muslim ban, and yes I have many reservations about Trump, but at the same time many Muslims around the world are practicing extremely oppressive practices against women, gays, apostates, people of other faiths etc, and there is also the problem of increasing Islamic terrorism.

I have increasingly seen my leftwing and feminist networks hijacked by Islamic extremists who are there for their own purposes. Case in point, Linda Sarsour Co-Chair of the Womens March supports sharia law, and has tweeted in the past that she would like to give Ayaan Hirsi Ali an a*** whipping and take away her vag*na. Hard to believe but true (google it). Particularly cruel considering Ayaan was a victim of female genital mutilation and is currently lives with a fatwa death sentence over her head.

When Meetup takes the side of Islamic extremists then it is obvious to me that they consider my rights as a woman as negligible. And its an incredible double standard for Meetup to decry Trump but support those who support the oppression of womens rights and human rights violations. But of course if I object to the subjugation of my own sex I am called a bigot.

I was having some ongoing problems in my 8 year relationship and was leaving my relationship and signed up. A few day later I was called by Tiffany@*******006. She was extremely invasive, pushy and wouldn't take no for an answer over 3 times. Before she got off the phone she asked how long I had been in my relationship, and had the GALL to ask why I hadn't popped the question before now (in a manner that was supposed to be a slam) and as I told her that is my business and got ready to hang up she got another snide comment in. I not only will never consider this service, I am going to report them to the BBB and every forum. What I found most amazing is she is trying to sell and appointment to sell a membership in person. I am in sales and never have I been so man handled, and she talked over me so bad that I finally said OK you talk. I will be doing a reverse lookup and letting the world know your name and # Tiffany. You might want to take some sales seminars on how to treat people and how to listen, which is 90% of sales.
If I could give this service negative stars I would. Tiffany is frustrated because she works for a shady operation and that makes her desperate, pushy, aggressive, and arrogant. All the things most people would run from in a salesperson. Selling memberships (under the guise of Activities Coordinator) Shame on you Tiffany. This is 100% true no sensationalism. Was that poor of an experience. If this is how Meetup.com gets people to join their service. Good Luck, you'll need it! Now time to post Tiffany's conversation with me on You Tube. She thought she was going to bully me and make rude and unacceptable comments without reprise. Guess again the conversation was recorded (for quality assurance of course). :)

As the member of a MeetUp group, I received notice that my group was losing it's leader, and that the group would be closed if someone did not step up to take over. I could not see any notes from the prior leader, and sent a note of inquiry to SEVERAL MeetUp email addresses listed on their pages. No response, other than receiving additional notices that the group was closing because there was no one stepping up to take over. Hmmph. They were willing to let me pay some ~$60 fee to transfer responsibility, but were not willing to answer questions about previous group activities. I finally got an email response, but he was unable to answer my query about the group BEFORE IT CLOSED. I was then referred to another person, who told me the group was closed (DUH) and why didn't I start another group. WHY WOULD I START ANOTHER GROUP? They don't or can't support the groups they already HAVE. Took myself off their stupid platform, I advise that NO ONE start ANYTHING with these folks, they don't deserve the attention.
