Babe, I have posted NUMEROUSLY on this site about the great men in my family.The funny thing is my 15yr old niece totally understood. And she felt bad because she sees it herself. Even at 15yrs old she has alot of understanding. More than alot grown people apparently.
She even understands when I tell her simply how hard it is to be an adult.
But I'll tell you what the issue is. Not only is she intelligent, but She has grown up with a lot of love from the male figures in her life.
So she don't see men as potential threats. She sees them as people, who have their good traits and bad traits.
but a lot of yall have trauma from your own lives, and you haven't been surrounded by love from men, so you look at every man like they will hurt you.
The bolded is exactly what I'm talking about.
Your life was probably filled with men that didn't love you. (And I'm not saying this to be funny or to get at you)
The men in our lives, are girl dads, loving uncles, Loving grandfathers, and fully invested stepfathers.
I am the god father to my friends daughter.
And if I had a daughter my homie would have been her god father because he was a righteous brother.
But fukk all that.
U see when a man tells you his experience. How it's dismissed and it's "well we have it worse".
I literally just said just existing as man, you are looked at as a pervert. Just living your life .
And you didn't say "damn, that's fukk up".
You said my 15yr old niece hypothetically has it worse. Even though you have no clue about her life personally
“U see when a man tells you his experience. How it's dismissed and it's "well we have it worse”
NAW- what YOU don’t see is you’re trying to get a TEENAGE GIRL to sympathize with ADULT MEN. You’re grooming her for other old ass Niccas and don’t even realize it.
Everything seems to break down into male VS female with your viewpoints.
I did not say your niece automatically has it harder simply because she’s female.
She has it harder because she’s a TEEN GIRL who has to worry about male teens and GROWN ASS MEN sexualizing her!
Children’s minds don’t need to be filled with how hard it is for older people. YOU ARE OLD. If you were socialized properly and know how to move in society you understand how to move as a grown ass man and NOT have people looking at you funny. MILLIONS of men out here who aren’t being accused of a damn thing because they act like NORMAL
MEN who have BOUNDARIES.
Talking about loving fathers, uncles, etc. I have divorced men in my family and their daughters live with them. ALONE. And there is no concern because their fathers aren’t creeps. I have more men than women in my family which is why I’m speaking the way I am- because they gamed me up and let me know that men would be trying me when I was no longer under their protection in the adult world.
And you know what? THEY WERE RIGHT. I had professors, bosses, pastors, etc make passes at me cuz I was young and pretty and because of my male relatives I could spot weirdo shyt and get around before any of those men in positions of authority could take advantage of me.
Your niece is a CHILD and doesn’t need to told about how hard it is for grown ass men.
What YOU don’t understand is you are painting all grown ass men with a broad sympathetic brush in the eyes of a teen girl who is too young to fully understand nuance and pick up on weird, inappropriate behavior from men 2-3x her age.
Why do you want a 15 year old to be concerned about how hard it is for grown men who are around teen girls?! Lmao
The MEN in my family would’ve broken my teacher’s fukking back if one of them walked into my classroom and saw me taking down a grown ass man’s braids. Fukk out of here.
You telling your 15YO nephews about the hardships of grown women too? Or only the men?
