Ok, Marty
The problem with the feminist movement is they constantly list their disadvantages, but conveniently ignore the benefits bestowed upon them for being a woman, and in the process try to incur all of the benefits of being a man while drawing none of the downsides, as well as retain their beneits of being a woman while eliminating the trade-offs... and they foist that upon us expecting us to believe that that is 'equality.'. Both men and women have their problems they want to deal with, but these feminists act like men are chilling in some country club, smoking a cigar while the women are slaving away. They keep claiming they want to be treated equal to a man, except when they really are, and then they go on talking about, "How could you do that? I'm a woman!"
They don't have to sign up for selective service and won't have to worry about a draft. They can hit men, scream at men, spit on men, but if a man retaliates, he's going to get his butt whipped by the 5,000 simp soldiers rushing to her rescue, no matter if she started it and continually escalated it. Everybody is sitting around cracking up and laughing when the woman is spitting on or slapping or even punching a man, but after he told her to get away from him the 10th time and gave her pass after pass and reaches back and slaps her or kos her, you got 10,000 dudes rushing to her rescue talking about, "DUDE how could you do that??" These feminists act like men are quietly consenting to rape when that is far from the truth. If a man is even accused of rape, whether it's true or not, he will have an aura hanging around him and he will be shunned by men and women alike... and a man better not go to prison with a 'rapist label' on him because he will get raped himself if not killed... and yet they are screaming how we live in a 'rape culture.'
They can get married to a man who has it made and walk off with more of his assets than he gets to keep. Oh yeah, let's say bye bye to those paid for dinners. You pay your half just like a man would. Naw, let's be even realer. You pay for your man's portion everytime you g out, because that's what a lot of men do for their women. That's just on a man in general basis. Let's not even get into what being a black man is like. Let's not get into constantly being doodoo'd by not only the white media, but black women as well. How many dating articles and news shows do you hear about 'career black women' who can't find decent black men because they are supposedly all locked up, on drugs or gay? Let's not talk about how fast a black man will get his butt whipped by a policeman..Supposedly black men aren't speaking up on black women issues, but I don't see them speaking up on that man that can't see his kids because his baby momma is playing games or a black man that
I'd respect that feminist movement a lot more if they actually wanted true equality, but as it stands today, they want all the benefits of being a man and none of the downsides, as well as all the benefits of being a woman, but none of the downsides. That's privilege, not equality. I hear these women talking about male privillege, but they completely ignore male consequences... and being a black man on top of that? Yeah, alright.
you know I'm right
The list overall is on point. And yes I posted it, but it was authored by a brother who wants solidarity enough to actually work towards it. He is here: http://jewelwoods.com/node/9 On to the issue. I'll attempt to address it once more, just in the hope that I won't get obviously disingenuous, deflective, and intellectually dishonest responses (which I won't respond to).
The very fact that you guys have admitted this can be applied to men of all races seriously bodied all of the nonsense pleas to ignorance and pretending to not have read any specific ways in which Black women are oppressed by Black men in the last thread.
I mean really, when you break down the past 2 days the results have played out in the exact fashion that women of color feminists' tweets have spoken about. The dismissiveness, the trivalization, the refusal to believe that because you are apart of one oppressed group, the privilege you have and actively use from another group doesn't count or shouldn't be addressed. Almost as if Black feminists had scripted the stupidity of the responses by white women and Black men. And truthfully, Black men's response might have been even more shameful because you at least had prominent white feminists urging racist feminists to actually hear and understand WoC's struggle/pain, whereas you had Black males either dead silent on the issue or going HARD to silence Black women entirely.
Here's how it happened:
On Monday you had Black men on here raving and celebrating that Black feminists went in on white women on twitter (as we should have) for them calling for solidarity amongst women all while ignoring women of color's specific issues because of the ingrained privilege they have just for being born white. Black men on here even got excited because they thought it was a perfect "I told you so" moment for them to continue scapegoating the fight for equality for women (feminism) as the cause of the downfall of the Black family, only this time with Black female agreeance.
On Tuesday, when Black women next shined the light on the ingrained privilege Black men have just for being male; a privilege that they have exercised in our Black power and civil rights movements that put Black female specific issues on the back burner, 'brothers' couldn't respond quickly enough with some of the dumbest arguments I've ever read. It became about how "its different" and "we have no privilege" and shaming tactics about Black women being divisive by bringing it up (but Tommy Sotomayer and those who co-sign him aren't divisive, and neither are misogynists like Tariq Nasheed nor the crap he spews about Black women). So despite having just celebrated us calling out white women's privilege (something we had been doing for years anyway, btw), Black men did the same as white women had and denied any privilege or wrongdoing to Black women outright.
Its cool though. As I said in the other thread, the Womanist movement will continue. Folks talk about solidarity but they don't really want it. They want Black women to keep doing what they've been doing, shutting up and taking punches for movements that only want to speak to half their issues and doing so in silence. Won't happen, so prepare to stay mad
And fyi, for the emboldened Black men who feel no sympathy, no empathy, and not even any shame for dismissing Black women's issues, the same way every thing that Black women ever bring up is "trivial" and "bs" and simply an issue of bad choices by Black women, keep it mind your oppression will continue to be viewed the same by whites.
Complain about notions that are used against you and then subscribe to them against others, like your own race of women, while claiming you're "for solidarity", brehs.
