That’s expected and it doesn’t mean a person isn’t productive while not in a relationship. But the bottom line up front is yes I do want the women in my family to need a man.

Bout to put my tinfoil dunce cap on and point out the fact when u only keep the letters these words have in common u end up with lie lie lie
Harsh truths hidden in plain sight.
As bad as the violence portrayed in hiphop is for our people , this "i-n-d-e-p-e-n-d-e-n-t" sista act in r&b is almost as harmful. Life is hard. Normalizing sistas/brothas been on their own well into their 30's is leading our people to the slaughterhouse. Cacs/asians/hispanics do not think like this. They find a mate, get married, combine resources and build. We are wasting time. shyt is sad.

True and unfortunately it works.
Lone wolf mentality works for other ethnic groups, not us as we have been sabotaged for centuries...by design!!
Well because many thots/hood rats lack critical-thinking skills and can't seperate an entertainer from their real-life persona.
They are probably mad Roberty Downey Jr. really can't shoot lasers from his hands....

Funny thing is Ciara is not the first or last artist who will make songs that don't match up to they lifestyle. The issue a lot of people are having is Ciara's whole 'comeback' has been centered around basically getting 'saved' by Russell Wilson and broadcasting it to the world and singing the highest of praises about him, not about her music(she was washed musically over a decade ago). She needs to be on Food Network or something baking cookies like the housewife she portrays herself to be, not making single woman music. That isn't her lane anymore women got SZA and Summer Walker for shyt like that now.

She just needs to make music that reflects her current life

I disagree. 90% of her catalog is love songs. Songs about the ups and downs of romantic relationships. Same as many R&B/Pop girls so comparing her or even Ciara to rappers whose music PRIMARILY glorifies violence, gang culture, drug dealing AND using is a false equivalence and a bit insane.
Beyoncé has consistently said the same thing and her music reflects this: Make sure you have your own goals and your own thing. THAT is independence. Like Bey’s mama was not a ”traditional” homemaker, she was a whole business owner while her dad was corporate. Women NEED to be able to stand on their own 2 feet, and that doesn‘t mean have a bad attitude, refuse to compromise or none of that shyt. It means being able to take care of yourself regardless if a partner is there or not. Both genders should strive for that and ppl who use that to mistreat others or harden themselves against love should be left right where they are. Alone and bitter.
Like these women in the tweets are basically mad that’s Ciara has the OPTION to be a “soft life” wife or whatever but won’t because she has a love for music still. Very weird.
Ciara was once a single woman. Not like she singing from the perspective of a man
And why don't we take male artist to task with how they promote promiscuity and drug use in their music, i.e. Future. Aren't men suppose to lead? That's if the state of the community is truly the concern
Sounds like some y'all just want a woman who is codependent so she'll settle for ur bullshyt
Ciara is just selling the equivalent of dope-dealing/gangsta music to black women.
The sad thing is, financially, she doesn't HAVE to do this. Russ, I'm sure has made or will make over 100 mill in his career. She's choosing to make this thotty, "I dun need no man" garbage.
I'm glad people are calling it out.

These delusional broads see Ciara as THEIR endgame: to have kids with the swagged out breh, and let the 'cornball' straight laced breh raise them.
Basically their lifelong plan is getting exposed and they HATE IT.

part of her resurgence was because a lot of women wanted her advice on how to get their own Russel Wilson if I remember correctly
