I was listenin to doggystyle today and I started thinkin like man dat whole era was super #HOH
Imagine being a young girl growin up during that time and steadily hearin from men in ur community that women aint shyt and deserve to be disrespected, like that can have a legitimate effect on ur psyche. Its funny a number of men like to constantly point at some women's less then rightous behaviour, but be the same nikkas projecting that behaviour onto all women and propagatin it. Be the same nikkas encouragin other nikkas to treat women like dirt, for no reason other than theyre women.
I mean that conversation is still really relevant today. Just the fact that the word "bytch" is a default term for woman points to men's concept that a woman isn't to be respected until she earns it. If she displays some type of Mother Theresa like holiness then she can get upgraded to a more favorable word, but before that she a bytch.
And then you also think about how a lot of black men have had no problems for yrs praising non-black women and almost making it seem like being a full non mixed or "exotical" black woman is a L, just makes me think. I feel like as black men we have some growin up to do when it comes to gender relations and especially valuing black women in the way they deserve to be.
