Careercow Simone Spence / thedeadbeatdiva / simonerspence - Self-published feminist with a raging hateboner for deadbeat dads

[Dread First]

We all know that there are feminists out there who regularly talk shit about deadbeat dads, MRAs, and that general lot. But few can ever truly monetise their inner hateboner for deadbeat dads quite like this exceptional woman right here. I want you all to meet Simone Spence. I originally came across this delightful woman when I was scrolling through social media, and one of my friends shared an article that was published on LinkedIn. From there, I was hooked and I needed to find out how far the rabbit hole goes.

For those of you who are curious, this was the article that drew me in. The abstract is more or less this: father's rights groups are terrifying because even though there are liberals who support it because they believe in equality, the vast majority of people in this movement are middle and upper class white men who want to reinforce patriarchal values.

At first, I thought "oh, well... this just seems like some run-of-the-mill feminist trash that HuffPost didn't publish first." But then in the "other articles" section that shows what other pieces she's published have led me to believe that this was a far more personal crusade that she just had to get out any which way she can.

Approximately three years prior to this article being published, she published two pieces in the same week decrying deadbeat fathers AND a top 5 list as to why child support must be given to women, and not just the children (I'd imagine she's unfamiliar with the concept of "alimony.").

Now, LinkedIn is a platform used by employers to gauge whether or not someone is worthy of being hired by their organisation. Given this, it's only natural to assume that everyone who has a profile on the website would be trying to hype themselves up. Of course, her own profile takes this a step further and is more or less just masturbatory praise as to how "accomplished" she really is.

Now, a quick Google search for "Don't Get Mad Get Paid" reveals some more information. For example, the fact that she has TWO websites: one for DGMGP and another that's a personal website dedicated to her public speaking endeavours (the latter of which also links to her YouTube account).

Her YouTube channel is very much like her website in that it runs horribly slowly and most likely hasn't been touched in years.

She also has an Instagram account where she posts absolutely awful memes that basically scream "How do you do, fellow kids?" along with the standard fare of legal screencaps, motivational quotes, and random excerpts from her daily life.

In addition to this, she also apparently ran a Tumblr where she once went by "thedeadbeatdiva," though I'm sure she's more or less abandoned it considering how she only has about 10 posts all made within the last week of January 2014.

In addition to this, she also has a Facebook page for her "business" along with a personal profile that she uses... to advertise her "business"... Here's a screencap from the about section of her business page and her personal profile.

You're telling me current year feminists have daddy issues? Whodathunk?

 

[Red Hood]

"Author self published"

Stop right there while I prevent my sides from splitting.

 

[Airtight]

Has she had any personal interactions with those who might disagree with her? Twitter slap fights or anything of the sort? Currently she appears to be a run of the mill feminist out to get those dang dirty dads for not paying what they owe. I feel like there is some real potential for a chimp out if she runs across some MRA starting shit in a comment section or something similar.

Make sure those FB pages are archived and maybe post a spoiler with her old social media as well. Other than that great op.

Can you post the links/archives to all her social media profiles at the end, so people don't have to search through the op for each one

I actually missed her Twitter in the process of making the OP. I'll update the OP when I have the time. Also, I thought you couldn't archive Facebook pages because of robots.txt?

Updated.

You can archive facebook pages.

Updated the OP to spoiler tag most of the big images so that way it's more readable. Also appended an archive link to her Twitter, though I haven't found anything particularly interesting outside of links to shit she's posted on her Facebook pages and retweets that fall in with her confirmation bias.

You spoilerd too much shit tbh, it looked fine before

I was having weird rendering issues in Firefox, so it was unreadable on my end. On Chrome though, I definitely see what you're talking about. Changing that right now.

I get the impression that women like this only see their children as paychecks and that is incredibly sad to me.
Also not everyone who pays child support are men.

 

[Pervious]

The rage boner is real. Stuff like this, where you have someone saying "By not giving me something you're trying to control me, give me your car" really makes you wonder where they get off.

I would LOVE to know her opinion on the mother paying child support. I think it would be along the lines of "women shouldn't have to pay child support because they already paid by giving birth."

Jesus fucking Christ... who the fuck can write ~200 pages about the same thing... five times? I'm definitely appending this to the OP.

I believe she has a fifth book in the works and its only four now. And the one's a kids book. What could a woman digging for ways to get child support write to kids?

Some quarter-assed fictional work where the father is painted out to be a womanising, misogynistic douchebag and the mother is someone who can do no wrong.
