      Can we do better with the next generation of Black men by letting them work and have responsibilities in the house, as kids, so that when they grow up, they will not be a burden to their wives when they get married. This is not the olden days when women had to stay at home and had nothing better to do than to wait on men hand and foot. It's time they realize this!

      I feel that men who behave this way were coddled as children by their moms, and treated like royalty for doing nothing. My twin brother's only responsibility as a kid was to play video games. I had to wash my own clothes, the dishes, carry the groceries home by foot. Whenever I asked why did I have to do all of these things and my brother didn't, my parents would always be silent. But the subtext was always, "because you're a girl." That doesn't fly with me. So yeah, we have to bring up the next generation to be real men.

    I went out with a guy years ago. He kept complaining about his job, and he kept telling me he was going to quit. He needed dental work done and he asked me to help. Oh, I almost forgot. He also needed a place to live. Anyways, he wanted ALL of that. It didn't happen all at once, it was a gradual progression of needs. Because he had a job, I let him stay on my couch. Thinking he would be able to save up for everything. Nooope, he immediately quit his job. I said "how are you going to afford everything that you need done." He said he was just going to chill for a while."🙄 I told him to go home to his parents. He couldn't believe I did that to him.

    💯💯💯 awhile ago I heard a male family member "jokingly" say he wouldn't mind a woman taking care of him. Fast forward to today: he's past 40, still lives with his mom (after being homeless in another state for about a year), never married, has a crap car that always need fixing and a low paying job. It's sad because he is actually an intelligent person with a degree. Lack of masculine identity and ambition is so unfortunate to see.

What he said disturbed me so much that I could not stop thinking about it, or get past it to where things could be normal again. If a man jokes about ANYTHING, concerning the future, he is planning to do that thing to you!! Thanks for helping me realize this.

    A man I dated a long time ago would try to shame me when I told him what I expected out of life. He would say some shit like “you sound like a gold digger “ or “that’s some white people shit, Black folks don’t do that”. My mother was a stay at home mom when we were young kids. Once we got older, she went back to school to get another degree. My dad encouraged her to continue her education because it made her happy, and thank God he did. He sadly passed away a year after she started at the college. It saved us from a life of struggle that so many men will leave for their families because they did not take the initiative to set their families up for the unthinkable. Life insurance is what you are supposed to have when you have a family…married or not! Investing in land ( my father did not wait for the white man to give us our 40 acres…he bought it himself. So, as of my second birthday, my father had invested in the one thing they cannot make more of…land! Back then, it wasn’t that expensive, especially in the area in which he purchased it. We were not rich…just a regular, middle class family making good decisions… not selfish ones.
    Yet, as I tried to explain this to a brotha, he was getting more and more angry and trying to convince me that Black folks were not able to do such things, even I had just told him about my experience in my life and what my parents achieved with no help from anybody. Then, when he knew he was making no sense, he would come with “you keep trying to be white. The world ain’t like that for Black people “…. I swear, part of me wanted to slap him, and another part just felt sad for him. A few weeks later we broke up, and he went back home to his mama. Poor thing…lol
    Today I am with a man from England (born in South Africa…Egyptian ethnicity)….and he never tells me there is something we can’t do. We have our own businesses and he works for himself. He is proud not only to spoil me, but to be the breadwinner of our family, and he even takes my Mummy to breakfast once a week because he’s the shit!
    Women need to expect so much more from these men than fresh sperm! Don’t let those dusty, self-hating MEgroes convince you that they you don’t deserve to be a wife, that you don’t deserve security, that you don’t deserve security and a man expects that spend those important infant years with your baby, not at work, feeling anxiety because you had to drop your tiny baby off at daycare because you both have to work as soon as you push that baby out. FUCK THAT LIFE! Stop lying to yourselves about what it is you really want! You DO believe in marriage, you are just scared to admit you want it , because too many men have said that they aren’t ready for it, don’t believe in it, just plain don’t want it. So you want to be the cool chick that doesn’t pressure men about babies and marriage…hoping that someday, he will see your loyalty and decide to give you that ring because “we are best friends”….etc.
    He’s making a fool of you, and he will continue to waste your best years until somebody new comes along and catches his attention…leaving you drained…credit ruined…heart betrayed….eggs a decade older… and all because you made a bet on this man’s “POTENTIAL”! DON’T DO IT!
    You must find love where love is. There are plenty of good men out there, you deserve to be taken seriously. You don’t have to buy into the lie that marriage and the good life that comes comes with it is “for white people”. They need to STFU FOREVER, and let you live. Start dating other cultures, and you will kick yourself for not having done it sooner. NEVER worry about what anybody thinks about who you date!

      @@Antoniodagreat when a woman goes 50/50 with a man she is in fact losing. Statistics show that women still do most of the housekeeping and child rearing in the household. The pandemic is a perfect example that shows that. Women dropped out of the workforce in record numbers because the lack of childcare. And if they were lucky enough to work from home it was mamma that was doing all of the homeschooling etc. So you mean to tell me that a woman I supposed to be the maid, cook, nanny, babysitter, and then hand over 50% of her check to a man just to say she got a man? Sorry sir that’s not worth it for most women and they end up getting burned out. I would rather have a roommate at least I can have my freedom to find a real provider and help around the house while I’m doing it.

    So true. I just left an abusive relationship and when I look back he often made sarcastic statements about what he would do if he caught me with someone and there is nothing about me that would suggest that I would step outside of the relationship. It started with emotional abuse, leaving and coming back, then verbal abuse and gaslighting me to believe I was the reason he's speaking to me disrespectfully, then there were times where he would push me, slam my leg in the car door and say it was an accident while the force he used made my leg look as though I was hit in the leg with a bat. It was horrible. He even said I would have to leave town if I wasn't dealing with him. I'm just grateful to God I got the courage to get out. Of course the healing part is not easy as I deal with a lot of paranoia and fear but I'd rather work on my healing day by day than to remain in that situation. No one deserves to be treated in that manner.

    Some Black woman love saying the man's role is "provider and protector". And in substance that's correct. But when you ask black female's what the role of the woman as wife is. Many are not sure. There may be different answers if any answer. But since so many black women claim to be Christian. Let's see what the Bible has to say about the role of wives. The principles could also apply to girlfriends. Genesis 2:18. Also check out Proverbs 31:10-31.
    Notice the two key words in Genesis Helper and Complement. As helper she can prepare food. Clean the house and help take care of the children. And if necessary, work outside the home. Now complement. There is so much substance to that. But basically, it makes complete. It can also involve encouraging respectful words. When the woman fulfills this role. It can have the effect of a cheerleader. Which can motivate the man to better fulfill his role. So many of the older black woman who claim to be Christians should be teaching the younger generations of black woman their role is to be Helper and Complement to their Men. And as such they can't be resting in their femininity all the time.
