Playa, I like you have family and friends who are like that. They truly want to believe in their lie they tell to themselves. They really are angry at their choices but don’t want to be judged on it.Lets keep it a buck...the mistake a lot of these women make is not caring who the father of their child is, not requiring marriage, not requiring a steady income for the man, and a stable house to raise a child. They have children when they're young (because that's what they "supposed" to do) and just see it as a check box they have to mark off, and if shyt goes South its , "oh well, I'll just upgrade to another man and collect child support from Pookie" ... fast forward a few years later and they on the phone talking about "I was young and dumb." I seen this shyt with my own friends and family.

Most of them would truly be happy with a everyday dude if they choose to. The issue is she will resent him for what he is not.

“Don’t pay attention to the man behind the curtains”.... “Listen to what I say, don’t believe what you see”One more thing....why do so many women die on that hill of "I was young and dumb/immature" when since I was 5 years old all I've been told is the narrative that women "mature faster than men" and all I ever saw growing up was my older cousins and brothers having jobs by 14 just to help out with household expenses.

I liked her (bc she reinforced my own upbringing, lol), but you're glossing over quite a bit if you think its bc she's latina.They need to follow Lucia lol.
But they dont wana humble themselves and listen to a latina.
What’s with all these women wanting to have kids by themselves if they can’t find a man?
Creating more dysfunction
I agree with you.I liked her (bc she reinforced my own upbringing, lol), but you're glossing over quite a bit if you think its bc she's latina.
However, it's important to remember that women like lucia (multi gen hvw) are only created in certain environments. Those environments require a good percentage of hvm (to pay for etiquette classes, horseback riding, skiing, etc).
The cycle starts with enough hvm creating families to create a sub culture of men and women raised to continue it.
Now where you see that at among bp in the US???
Latinas, meanwhile, have hundreds of years of chasing white colonizers with the express purpose of lightening the line and securing the bag. Naturally, they'd be better at it.
I agree with you.
Men are supposed to lead their women. The issue in the bc is, the men in the community were blocked from being in positions to provide and lead (enmass) and the women were then thrust into the role. Mainly because western patriarchal ideology doesn't allow for brotherhood of others. Only one group of men can be on top in this case white men. All others have to bow, so lighter women were allowed to and found ways to try and flourish by lightening themselves without losing certain personal aspects of their otherness. Black women by nature of their God given melanin cannot do that. You can only lighten so much.
I also agree with this and I wasn't shifting blame, just outlining the field, if it's redundant my apologies.This is the thing, it's easy to shift the blame on men. Men should lead, we all know this. But Kev made a great point, This is America only Women have the power to decide if a child should be born. Even if every woman who is pregnant is pregnant from rape, they still have the power to decide if that child should be alive or not. So with that said, if anything simply nobody should be having children, because 1.Men aint in position to lead 2.Women have no suitable partners to make a family with, BUT we know this isn't true. Listen to these callers, they literally dont know the purpose of marriage let alone why they want a high value man. They are leading with their salary and degree as to why they should have a man. They are coming to men with children from multiple men, and wanting these men to take care of them and these children ON TOP of saying they dont want anymore kids, and if they'd o then "maybe 1". They literally serve zero purpose to men but try to use the "you should be leading" argument to shame a man into taking on their baggage. As mentioned, a woman with no guidance of a man whether it be her husband or her father will always lead herself to a life of destruction.
It's not blame shifting, it's the required infrastructure to create the society you (rhetorical) claim to want.This is the thing, it's easy to shift the blame on men.
