It's not about emasculating men. From birth boys were told they can be whatever they want and given carte blanche on life in general. Girls on the other had were told that's not for girls/women and were geared toward "traditional female occupations" like teachers, social workers and nurses etc. Over the last few decades there has been lots things geared toward girls/women choosing other career paths to even things out. For example, there a lot of things STEM related being geared towards girls because STEM is or was mostly male dominated.
This issue is more of a lack of education than anything. Times are changing, factory/skilled labor jobs are far a few between making competition for those jobs extremely high. Uneducated men have relied on those skilled jobs to feed their families and make a living for decades because they required little to no education and paid them well. Now that those jobs are being replaced by machines and or evaporating all together, those men don't have any viable options. Men are still more prominent in higher ranking positions than women but those positions often require getting an education.
No, this doesn't apply to black men at all. Especially from gen x to now.
"It's a she thing"
"Black women's empowerment"
"Black girls rock"
and about 90% of black media and most social programs...for y'all and only y'all. Stop trying to shoehorn us in with white men because you shook of them, that's WEAK, and y'all have marketed yourselves as SKROWNG for about 30 years now, so what is it?
Y'all "educated, but floating on credit" folks are TRULY naive and gassed off of your own fumes.
It's not an education issue, either. Look at the "degreez" y'all get.
Early child development?
Social work?
Psychology?
Nursing makes MONEY and requires a lot more schooling than you think. These women are NOT becoming nurses en masse or they wouldn't be living off VISA, they're getting any degree they can to say they have one. It is a status symbol a lot of the time.
WITH NO VALUE...outside of the value extracted from your finances to pay loans while you work at a call center with nikkas who have GEDs.
I've been seeing it for years. I've seen degrees posted on section 8 walls.
Even when you fall off, the padding is there.
Society, schools, and the current education system are built to promote women, so men already in place (and their sons) will have NO competition, and a weak, pliable workforce that can be controlled more because they have children. Less likely to unionize, and when they do, those unions are usually corporate sponsored and defeat the purpose.
You want to maintain the matriarchy managed by white supremacy because Y'ALL can't function without that "padding"
Do you really know what "high spending power" and "most highly educated" MEANS?
Student loan debt and a propensity to live beyond ones means, fake wealth signaling.
It means you are FOOD to the financial industry like we are to the prison industrial complex.
Y'all so desperate for continued validation that you eat it up.
If this padding didn't exist, and you REALLY had to FIGHT FOR IT (like us), our population would be much smaller.
Stop acting like you doing something as a group. It's a lie.
