We need to do more to call certain behaviors exactly what they are. A man leaving a woman stranded because she wouldn’t have sex isn’t just “weird” or “inconsiderate” behavior, it’s sexual coercion
Disrespecting Black women takes on such a domino effect and becomes a group activity. Jada hasn’t said or done anything, yet I’ve heard her referred to as ‘bitch’ more in the last day or so than in my entire life
Guys, my grandfather turns 90 in about 2 months.
He has a podcast about growing up in Jim Crow that he’s very proud of. If I’d plug anyone or anything, it’d be this guy.
Every woman I know who started cohabitating with men early in life (late teens, early twenties) say the same things. I haven’t met someone who is eager to do it again
The tweet where that man said he used to be scared of Busta Rhymes and his mama would turn it on when he misbehaved. “No not Busta Bust!” Omg I screamed for days
Just know that if I *really* spoke my mind on Black men and their unsettling behavior when it comes to biracial/lightskinned children, this account would get suspended for hate speech
Khl0e went so hard on Jordyn because it’s far easier to believe that your family is being broken apart by some villainous figure than to accept you keep letting the true villain lay in bed next to you. Tale old as time
People mostly talk about how getting older has evolved their understanding of their needs in romantic relationships, but it’s reshaped my needs in platonic friendships just as much. Sisterhood is immeasurably valuable
y’all are really harsh to people who open up about not having community or friends. it’s very similar to how callous y’all can be when people open up about struggling with their love lives when you don’t share those problems
I feel badly for people who repetitively demonstrate their idea of loyalty is how much disrespect they can withstand. As he sees now, it gets you nothing
In the upcoming Drink Champs episode, Big Sean responds to Kanye’s comments on him being his worst signing.
Sean claims that he had to audit his own label from his own pocket due to suspicions of money being owed (millions).
Full episode will be released tomorrow.

Yall saw them having one (1) nice little visit with the kids and now Ms. Shirley needs to help run a daycare center instead of enjoying her pudding cup
In 1998, Khoua Her, strangled her six children because she was depressed over her responsibilities. The police had been to her home 15 times in a year and a half responding to domestic violence calls. The children were found throughout the house.
The topic of colorism is so watered down by debates that are petty and surface level that I think a lot of people don’t realize just how bad it was.
There were entire districts and neighborhoods where only fair-skinned Blacks/mulattoes lived
The casual nature of this admission. Thinking that it actually needed to be said. Yeah. Keep these men FAR away from me and my family. (I don’t even know that they need to be around their own families, tbh)
It isn’t that they don’t understand logic. They just believe in their heart of hearts that they should be able to do things to you that you cannot do to them. They’re aware of the power dynamic and don’t want it disrupted
The incel content is designed for guys like Charles and marketed to him specifically. He isn’t good-looking, has limited resources and most importantly he isn’t smart.
You gotta understand her lack of fabulousness is part of what makes her so famous. It only strengthens the relatability and the para-social relationship between her and the average White girl
I am not surprised by TS popularity but as someone who was raised on Madonna, Jewel, Sinead, Celine, Gwen etc as the main white pop girls I do see her main pop girlie status as… interesting.
Recently a tweet went semi-viral asking why people weren’t ‘raising their daughters to be good wives anymore.’
It’s not uncommon for very young women to get caught up in that before they even have a chance to figure things out for themselves
Guys. Garcelle’s son is 30. This means she answered the door looking a mess to early 2000s Denzel. Imagine you open your door with your bonnet and eye crust to TRAINING DAY ERA DENZEL
Garcelle said her son used to hang out with the Washington kids and she has PTSD because one day there was a knock on her door and she answered it looking crazy and it was DENZEL dropping her son off. I would’ve d*ed
It’s so weird when there’s a convo about how to support/spend quality time with friends and partners and y’all are like “well my friends aren’t having sex with me”
N*ck! rightfully faces a lot of criticism for her conduct. But she isn’t the only person ruining their legacy. There’s another Young Money alum doing this as well
I think more people subscribe to the idea of the “perfect victim” than they realize.
The reality is that many victims fawn, are often devoted to their abuser and can lash out/parrot the statements of the person harming them and shaping their reality
People (rightfully) warn everyone about how that content is affecting adolescent boys and young men, but I don’t think some people realize *just* how hard it’s been hitting their middle-aged and elder counterparts
this entire conversation reminds me of the fact that my 60 year old father has started getting into redpill content & now has a weird vendetta against single mothers (he’s been married to my mom for 30 years) & doesn’t believe me when i say that all i want is a kind, faithful,…
Because something the media loves to do is demonize women who’ve experienced postpartum psychosis and sensationalize their stories while ignoring how these things came to be.
Woah Vicky and BadBhabie have albums on Apple Music but the Paul Wall who gave us Sitting Sidewayz “wouldn’t fly”. These 2000s baby ass tweets have to be stopped!
They act very strange when it comes to children who are of a similar phenotype to the women they desire. The colorism aspect of it all is so normalized that a lot of shit flies under the radar, but many of them are attracted to children and it shows
They kidnapped a homeless man in their squad car, beat him up and then stranded him bloody and disoriented in another part of town.
Not only did the man identify both officers, his story was corroborated by cameras outside a store AND the car’s built-in GPS
There are ladies my age (mid 20s) and older that keep commenting “it’s working for me”. Read the whole tweet before giving your testimony, please. I said late teens, beginning of 20s.
There’s a reason it’s more likely to work for people mid-20s and up.
@WiseWill8
They’re in my mentions as we speak.
No matter how many times it’s confirmed that they’ve mutually agreed to the terms of their partnership and are satisfied with it the misogynists are adamant there’s something Jada needs to be “punished” for lol
What gets me is the friend handled this in such a loving and understanding way. And the writer’s primary concern is that she won’t have access to a man that isn’t hers 😭
That shit is nutty. And is the main issue rather than the crush itself
This wasn’t about dragging the opposite sex but maybe it should be. Because NO WOMEN were confused about the word ‘cohabitation’ or my use of it.
The men:
The tweet where that man said he used to be scared of Busta Rhymes and his mama would turn it on when he misbehaved. “No not Busta Bust!” Omg I screamed for days
everybody’s just like “sucks to be you! guess you’re not doing it right” and it’s like whoa… wait. times are hard, guys.
and tbh these tough times are reflected in the harshness of those responses, even though you don’t have the same problems as those people.
“Punishing” tactics for someone not having sex with you is part of sexually coercive behavior. Unfortunately this is rather common, hence the pushback.
Some people still have this “get out of the south” mentality in regard to Black people as if these other states are the land of milk and honey. I understand where this comes from of course but there’s too much historical data to still be peddling that angle
Garcelle said her son used to hang out with the Washington kids and she has PTSD because one day there was a knock on her door and she answered it looking crazy and it was DENZEL dropping her son off. I would’ve d*ed
Her being cool with Tory is wrong. Her efforts to remain “neutral” are wrong.
Y’all don’t see that bc you can relate to the act of minimizing violence against women and continuing to support their abusers.
This is horrific. There’s a demographic of elderly white men who are extremely dangerous bc of their access to/affinity for firearms and the decline of their cognitive functioning.
They’ve killed/injured delivery people, neighbors and strangers who’ve posed no threat to them.
An 81-year-old Ohio man shot and killed an Uber driver he believed was working with a scammer, according to officials who said the victim was sent to the home by the same scammer.
Loletha Hall didn't threaten him, didn't have a weapon or assault him
BUT he tells anyone who listens that his most victorious title is being my Nana’s husband— they will have been together for *69 years* this spring.
Happy Black History Month everyone
That’s why I never liked those pages where people pose and dress their kids up like little versions of adults. Not all of it is inherently problematic but there’s a specific kind of content that has always given me the creeps. Bc who exactly is this for
@justAbruva
Or maybe they can be trusted to judge their own past experiences. And living with men as a woman in your late teens or very start of your 20s isn’t the best idea like they say.
The conversation that people aren’t ready to have is that most women have coercive partners who guilt them, beg them and throw adult tantrums to get them to disobey doctor’s orders
Your insides are raw as hell and you’re so hot in the ass you can’t wait 6 weeks to have sex??? That’s not being in love. Are y’all sex addicts or just dumb?
So my job had a Juneteenth lunch catered.
It’s BBQ chicken, greens, baked mac, yams and watermelon being served 😭 they said run in here and get y’all food, KNICKERS!
There’s a reason why men’s mental health is an issue that’s largely framed as women’s problem. The purpose of this is to make women more sympathetic to men who are careless, unstable or who treat them badly
I saw a tweet from a guy that said “we should care about men’s mental health like we do women” and honestly men what are you waiting on? Us women? Go do the work and start caring
Monica Lewinsky happily slept with a married man at the very adult age of 24 and kept the dress Beyonce referenced as a souvenir. I’ll save my sympathy for real victims. 🙄
“Punishing” tactics for someone not having sex with you is part of sexually coercive behavior. Unfortunately this is rather common, hence the pushback.
Supporting someone going through IPV is hard. And I think we can hold space for how mentally/emotionally taxing it can be without speaking so negatively and punitively about victims
and what do y’all gain by musing about how weird it is that a person doesn’t have community, or how it has to be their fault in some way? you don’t know anything about them or their life.
yall are just mean af and getting meaner by the day
You wanting them to be a cooperative, agreeable person who follows your lead right away is not only a fundamental misunderstanding of the construct of abuse, it’s ego-based
we need to just go ahead and call it what it is; we’re *almost* there.
it’s emotional abuse. and it’s hard to name it bc we’ll have to reflect on the fact that a lot of the normalized practices men have with women are entrenched in emotional abuse
behaving like a trash partner to make a girl breakup with you instead of just being a grown man and ending it is some cowardly shit. Why aren’t y’all ashamed? 😭
