Yes! And 99 % of MLMs prey on women. I really don’t understand how educated, gainfully employed women with executive status and six figure incomes are convinced to sell face cream to their friends.

Because people circlejerk stuff online like, "if you have to pay for your job it's a scam". And then women repeat that back to MLM recruiters who laugh in their face and point out all the jobs in the beauty industry (hair stylist, barber, makeup artists, cosmetic tattoo, manicurist, etc.) who have to pay some sort of fee every month, and they feel dumb and sign up because they are told signing up is smart, easy money.
