exactly!
that's a complete and utter dismissal of what people are saying
and ironically it simultaneously proves ebro's point 100%
I did. You cannot complain about the bad stuff while unabashedly enjoying the good stuff. I have always thought that it was silly for black males to cling to patriarchy in a system of white supremacy where they were set up to fail to reach the height of it (patriarchy).

You see how that sounds?

Really doe. It happened just like he said:
"you don't understand...when we try to explain it to you, you don't want to listen"
and the only thing she had was "let it go". lol
Yes, I do. Ebro expressed a want for change, and really the only way I see that happening for males is for them to give up this current definition of masculinity and to shuck the societal programming. If you are a conscious black then you've already done that in a way. The current definition breeds these feelings of inadequacy. You cannot escape that if you continue to cling to it. That's all I'm saying. I'm not dismissing your problems. I'm acknowledging that they exist, and I'm examining what they are the direct result of.Do you like the benefits of being a woman in this society? They are inseparable from its pitfalls.

If you are sitting around hoping women will care about you, really, then you'll be disappointed. The only one who really cared about you, maybe, was your Mother. Every other one is only trying to see what they can get out of you. Even your Mom sometimes.

1. No, you didn't . The question was do YOU agree that it would be disheartening to spill your issues out to someone
and all the give you is "man up" or "good luck with that"?
You didn't answer that.
2. Someone can ABSOLUTELY complain about the vices of something while extolling the virtues of it.
It happens all the time. You ever been on Yelp? lol
that's just a piss poor response either way. holding me responsible for the fact that other men enjoy patriarchy? senseless.

Stop.
This isn't even about women. This is general.
NOBODY cares about your chit but YOU.
Alright then. Have a nice night.
Yes, it is probably disheartening, but it's a side effect of masculinity. This is one of your manly outlets. I will no longer "derail" it.

This is the point, stop worrying about it. Only YOU care about what's going on in your life. Nobody else will understand or try to care. Obviously men don't care about another man.
