LOL

Some girlfriends of mine and I usually say that men who whine like babies or go around ranting like they're a 12 year old girl who started her MANstrual cycle...We say they've earned degrees in ************* 101

Total opposite of a man...Not that men aren't entitle to complain, because they are...

Here's a much broader explanation

Requesting Permission to Speak

You don't need permission to speak.

I just need you to act as though you know where you are.

Black Feminism is an absurdity up onto itself.

first birthed out of the White feminist movement, championed by the likes of gloria Steinem, and lead by the likes of Michele Wallace who can be credited as one of the heads of this movement to take this popular, successful and nation-wide in a way that appeals to white interests and black confusion/self-inferiority. Ntozake shange's play-- "for Colored girls" (which yes is the same as the movie that was made last year adapted from this) driving the stake into the coffin even further.

(Yes I know many of your modern day Afrocentric TRY to use sojourner Truth and harriet tubman as examples-- but they are a stretch to me. Michele Wallace is more so the appropriate one)

Looking at black feminism from it's historical viewpoint, we can begin to deduce a couple of things.

It is BROAD-ranging.
Yet It's themes are unified on one thing-- the black man is the enemy or is just as big of an enemy as the white supremacist system is.
It is a combination of the ideals of white feminism along with a form of Afrocentricity that most blck women seek to try to use in healing their community with. which cannot be done. It is confusion onto itself at it's very finest.

It breeds contempt.
It misprioritizes values.

I am convinced that no progress can ever come out of this movement. Hell-- just look at these brothers right here in this vid clip:

Okay Sister ... thank you ...

I didn't read the whole article you linked, but I read enough to make me know, I was not impressed with the author's thoughts. I got the clear distinction that they are white, though I could be wrong. They talked about the ************* of the western male, which doesn't speak pointedly enough to the Black Male, for me. I'd not apply the stuff they were saying, to Black Men.

To refer to a Brother using any form of the word "pussi" ... is a direct insult and can only kill any hope for meaningful dialogue ... i'd think.

I don't know Sister. If when you and your friends are talking about a Brother that complains a lot, why not just say that ... that he complains a lot ... instead of taking it to a low down dirty place, to which there would probably be no return, if he heard yall talking about him like that.

iono ...

Thanks for explaining moe betta for me doe!

Love You!

You're certainly entitled to your opinion, and i appreciate you sharing it, but you do realize ... not everyone feels the way you do ... right?

You're painting with broad stokes.

I'd consider myself a Black Feminist, by virtue of being Black and Feminine ... yet none of that other stuff applies to me.

I know nothing of the things you've mentioned above, and don't feel they impact me in any significant way.

Nonetheless, you feel strongly that it is what ails you / our people.

I wonder ... how do you distinguish Sisters that are Black and Feminine, from those who are the "Enemy Black Feminists" you abhor?

Or, pray tell, do all Black Feminine Sisters qualify as a Black Feminist, in your mind?

Thanks in advance.
