I have been in Sorrow's kitchen and licked out all the pots. Then I have stood on the peaky mountain wrapped in rainbows with a harp and sword in my hands -Zora

@TheLaurenChen Asians have also been able to preserve their culture and traditions in ways that the ‘other’ cultures (you know which ones I’m referring to) were not. While the U.S. has it’s history of oppressing Asian Americans, it has not done nowhere the same amount of damage compared to.

@Mmadifresh Once my grandma snitched on me (for what I forgot) and after my mom spanked me, I cried in the bathroom. I was so mad I decided to soak their toothbrushes in bleach so they’d die in the morning. I didn’t realize how strong the smell was and got spanked again.

@TheLaurenChen African Americans. Not only were we forced to assimilate but when we’ve attempted to have our own community it was burned to the ground (Tulsa Massacre). So what you and others see as laziness and entitlement, we see as decades of abuse and violence.

@NoEmmeG As someone who grew up poor and with a mother who continued to have two more children despite not being in a better position, yes poor people should absolutely not be having children. Poverty just like wealth can be generational and it’s a hard cycle to break.

No one told y’all feminism would guarantee you a man. And thats the problem. Feminism isn’t supposed to help you find a man; it’s to help you find freedom and self actualisation. You all are trying to balance this with finding a man and it really don’t work like that.
Modern feminism taught women to hate men, reject motherhood, devalue the roles of wives, prioritize money over family, uplift promiscuity, and reject beauty, inside and out. It taught women to covet the man’s role and see it as superior to our own. The damage has been done.

@OgLakyn It’s extremely difficult. I don’t know the science behind it but men don’t like dealing with women that aren’t beholden to them in some way. No one talks about men trapping women with children. But they don’t see a woman who doesn’t want kids as being serious.

@MLauryn_x The average income for a single black American is $30,000. That’s roughly $15/ hr. $15/hr is barely enough to live independently. The estimated yearly cost to raise a child is $14,000. That leaves $16,000. Rent is roughly $12,000/year. That leaves $4,000.

I’m reading the replies and it seems people believe the answer is women going back to getting married at 19 and not having sex before marriage. Which both are ridiculous by the way. Women have to literally not be human so they can maybe one day have a man to cook and clean for??.

Men tell this lie that their women don’t appreciate them and just nags them all the time. Then they say ‘but you really get me. You understand me.’.
Say you meet a man that’s in a relationship. He’s kind, romantic, attractive, and considerate. But the woman he’s with doesn’t appreciate him at all. Do you pursue him anyway to let him know he has better options or let him stay where he is, being taken for granted?.

I was going to do a thread on this, but I am extremely tired so all I’ll say is that are we just decentering men when it comes to relationships? Because if you’re willing to contribute to a situation that could hurt another woman for some dick, how much decentering are you doing?.

Knowing your boundaries and knowing what upsets you enough to avoid it seems pretty mature to me IDK.
If you can't do polyamorous or open relationships, specifically because you think you'd be too jealous, you probably don't have any business in a monogamous relationship either tbh. 🌚.

This is literally revisionism. Feminists fought for the right to get an education and our source of income because of oppression. If you’re tired of working, just say that.
The women in our generation were lied to. We were told we had to have money, education , status in order to make ourselves more worthy and it was all a lie. And now we’re lying to ourselves about being okay with being alone.
