    I was born in the 70s. My father used to tell me almost from birth that I needed to be independent. He would say, "Don't let yourself be in a situation where the man comes in and hands you money for groceries and your shoes, and you don't have control over anything else. And then when he starts acting stupid, you have to stay. Be independent and have your own!" I took his advice and I'm happy.

      Absolutely. Men need to know that you have the means to leave if you want to. If you don't have a way to leave, they will take advantage because they know you can't go nowhere. This is also why they don't want you to eork. If they control the money, they control you. These stay at home Moms need to create business/side hustles that they can do while he's at work.

    Man, I did a commentary on your advice to men on how to level up, and I was attacked in the comments. You're right, I told my daughters to get their own. My oldest daughter is facing one of those toxic situations right now. When she first met this cat, my wife and I said he ain't the one, but she was hard-headed and married him anyway. He has an awesome mind for business, but his low self-esteem is his Achilles heal, and he takes out his frustration verbally on her. We helped her get away once before but she went back to that negro. Keep spreading the message. This gender war crap needs to stop.

Don't waste another day trying to force yourself on someone who is not showing up.

He constantly said these men/boys are knuckleheads and they will waste your time. He loved my boyfriend, now husband, and still was like y’all don’t need to get married 😂 We dated for 6 ish years before he asked for my dad’s blessing.

      My dad unfortunately is deteriorating mentally now, but I’ll never forget when I was coming up, he always told me that when it came to men, choices were like investments and consequences were like loans you’d be paying back with interest. So invest in yourself before you invest in them.
      The best thing I ever did for myself was leave the boys alone until I was mature enough to find my fiancé. I know so many girls from school who have to raise their beautiful babies alone or suffered so much pain at the hands of bad men. I truly feel for the women who only know men as perpetrators rather than protectors.

    You made very valid points. However, there are a lot of Black men who have daughters and still treat women poorly, including their own daughters. I know a 43 year old Black man who has 8 daughters by 7 different Black women. He physically and verbally abuses women and neglects his daughters. His teenage daughters already have low self esteem and depression because he abandoned them and always makes false promises to them. He doesn't protect or provide and even quit his job to keep from paying child support. It's so important for Black women to be self-sufficient to avoid poverty, trauma and abuse from a group of men who have collectively shown that they don't value us.

    There are men who say they want today's women to be more like the previous generations women. Forgetting that the older generation told this generation to take care of themselves. The independence we see today in women is a direct result of older generations telling women to wise up and not rely 100% on anyone. Even women in good relationships are told have a bit of cash tucked away just in case things get bad.
    I'm convinced that men who resent independent women, only do so because they want to hold money over their women's head. They're pissed because they don't have financial leaverage/contol over women with money. It's not about 'traditional values' really.

When a male relative tells you about men they're telling you how they would carry themselves if THEY were women. And any woman with a brain would take that advice. They're straight telling you the game. They just be mad when they tryna be dogs and some girl who's NOT their daughter knows the game. That's dead ass all it is.

    My parents are immigrants. While my Dad would consider himself traditional one thing he always told my older brother but especially me and my younger sister is to work hard and become independent. He’s seen things like this happen both in the US and back home. There’s no reason why as an adult, your livelihood should be in another persons hands because if they provide it, they can take it away. Even if your man is paying most of the bills because he wants to, it never hurts to have your own. He didn’t say to be bitter or cynical but it’s protection. He said he never wants my sister and I to be in a situation that we can’t get out of because of money. You don’t have to broadcast the fact that you have money or belittle people because of it. It doesn’t make you less of a woman because of it. Anyone that’s threatened by your independence is the problem.

    I’m only a few mins in but I saw that video. I recently and finally got out after 20 yrs of a bad relationship. I kept trying to build this man a castle and he just kept tearing it down. I was the woman who had to leave with nothing but clothes and toys in laundry baskets to my parents house. My daughters and son have naturally gain that mentality after going thru all we did. Which I’m proud but in the same sense I was raised where the man is the head of the house so it’s confusion sometimes. Btw 2 wks today officially we have been separated and it feels so amazing to be free.

    Married people ask why their single children don't want to be married...
    Tell your friends the truth. Tell them that their marriage is not bearing the spiritual fruit for their children to want it.
    Women are not going to remain vulnerable where there is no protection or provision.
    This is spiritual and it doesn't reset because you want it. Men have to accept the shift, their own contribution, and establish the environment that will lend to the expectations they have for the world their children will come of age in.
    You have to be the change.
    Same for mother's/wives. Your son is not your husband placeholder. Your inappropriate relationship with him is not just ruining his ability to have a healthy relationship with women but wrecking society with the plague of baby mama culture.

However, growing up I heard HORRORS of women around me going they it and decided hell nah. My problem is that too many black men refuse to take responsibility and account. How can you ever justify a man throwing his kids our? Okay, maybe the girl for cheating, but the kids too? You cant but the same men cry about child suppo while consistently showing that they truly don't want their kids.

My Dad would always tell me "N***s think all they need is d**k and money to keep a woman. If that's all they have to offer, you need to leave him alone." Me at twelve "Ew Dad! Why you gotta say that!" 🤣 But what he said helped me stay away from guys who weren't good for me. My husband is awesome, and I'm so glad my Dad was able to meet and approve of him before he transitioned. RIP Dad ❤️

Even if you didn't wait you teach your daughter and sons to do it. You teach her not to have kids out of wedlock this is what God wants. My niece's mother is a baby mother with more than one baby father I still had to teach her the right way, and she understands now. even if your mom or father was a Bm/Bf or someone in your family was, you teach your children the right way and that's to wait till marriage, not till she's engage but until marriage.

    My parents always told me to have my own. They are very traditional. All of my mother's brothers had multiple girlfriends and only one of them who got married and he had two mistresses. He didn't take care none of the kids but the mistresses just dropped off the kids to my grandmother's house, girls or boys. However, the my mother's sisters all got married and had multiple by one man. There was one degenerate...he didn't care for all of 5 kids and died one year after marrying my aunt. He added no value to her life but give her a bunch of kids. Luckily, when her father died, he left a piece of land for all of his children.
    I ❤️ my dad and the older my dad's get the more loving he's becoming. We were younger, he was trying to make sure we had everything. Now, he's retired..he still a dad and a husband.

    To the commenters on the other video that say "it happens to men all of the time" - men get kicked out with a baby on their hips or while pregnant? Men get kicked out with mouths to feed and little eyes looking at them for safety after witnessing their parent be assaulted and put out along with them? Only fools would think about using this as an excuse or trying to compare the scenario with males being kicked out vs women. We also know when males are kicked out it is usually because they messed up really badly, whereas women usually get kicked out because of the male's evil, destructive, selfishness. I use the term "male" because I know real men like Shumake exist and I refuse to call toxic grown males men, as they haven't earned the title. . .

    My dad did not "tell" me to be independent but he definitely taught me how to be. Him doing this had some major pros and cons. One of the biggest pros was since he dropped me off to college over a decade ago I have not needed either of my parents for anything. Hell I give them money lol. But he also taught me to be detached emotionally which also made me emotionally independent. This is a good thing when I am needing to remove myself from situations that do not serve me and when I am needing to focus on my next goal. It made me use to nurturing my own feels which in result made me either avoid letting people in (because I felt that I could handle things on my own) or not nurturing other people's feelings because I assumed that they knew how to nurture their own as I have. Have worked with my therapist on this for the past couple of years and have gotten a hell of a lot better. But overall my dad did a damn good job making sure I can provide and support myself without any help from anyone.

    Hi! Largely agree!
    One point of difference, there is no scenario where a man needs to control a woman.
    God made Eve as Ezer Knegedo which is the help for/against which is to help men with the assignment of dominion of the earth and fullness of. There is no need to control a woman if man gets back in assignment to have dominion over the earth. The desire to "rule over" women is the consequence of the fallen state of man that Christ came to redeem.

In truth I learned from both women and men, so don't put stock in struggle love. I have to say, I got to thank the black community for teaching me that bootstrapping, being loyal, not being faithful to yourself but to somebody else is just not healthy when you are being disrespected within it. I said what i said it has been my experience and I will not speak on any other person's experiences.

    He was a strong man of few words to us & it was mostly to be able to do for yourself and not not be indebted to anyone. If we needed to move, here come him & his brothers or nephews. My uncle would complain but then say you call us for everything so you dont owe no man nothing.
    We are not hard women, but we know how to by God's grace take care of everything or pay someone to do it.

    It's important for individuals to realize that personal responsibility starts within oneself. A lot of our people are angry, hurt, and bitter. It is easy to place blame on someone else than taking the initiative to look at oneself and we're one needs to change and grow. There are a lot of black men who are resentful not only of their fathers, but also of their mothers as well. They are angry at their mothers in some way for taking the hurt and the pain that their fathers inflicted on them. Instead of having compassion, they internalize it and they become enraged.

    This is exactly how my dad raised me. Being the first born daughter to 5 siblings, he raised me like a son. My dad is not married, never was. My mum moved on and married someone else so I’ve been the 2nd parent to my siblings. So that’s why femininity doesn’t necessarily come easily to me because of how I was raised by my dad! He always says never allow yourself to be in a situation where you are at the mercy of anyone, especially a man. So this has become so engraved in my mind, I need to unlearn to relearn God’s design for the man and woman relationship’

A lot of these men are not marriage minded, many of them have kids and are not interested in raising their kids. These same men have Mommas, sisters, aunties, & daughters. They still don't care. However, the women and the few enlightened men out there are paying attention. Keep doing what you're doing. I'll keep hope alive that at least some of it will sink in some hard heads and change some lives.

My father wasn't in my life very much because he had 25 kids by many many women but the little time he did spend with me he said to be sure to get an education to take care of myself. I call this type of behavior breeding plantation mindset. I've been around long enough to see many things and it seems history just keeps repeating itself. We need to really work hard and let God (Jesus) lead so we can leave these behaviors behind.
