The Truth
I logged in the Coli today specifically for this picture :mjlol:

Going through my morning scroll when I noticed a lot of black young ladies (and other minority ladies that look up to celebs in general) post this pic online and I immediately thought “So this is going to be the new wave for what women think is a successful relationship now…”

Rhianna leading this nikka through the sands of life while he does his perm, paints his nails, and takes care of the kids…

Stay at home dads are up in 2023


I’ll give it a whole decade or 2 before gender roles are reversed

This is just a biological untruth. Not to mention men in plenty of civilizations work makeup, did shyt to their hair, carried purses and all that shyt.
Dude's staying at home because their women are breadwinners is a product of capitalism, not some agenda. People's "work" isn't limited to their physical capacity any longer.

Jobs that are...men will STILL and always do. Even wars will be fought by mostly men, until robots do. The shyt isn't all of a sudden going to erase masculinity. Ya'll be saying this shyt for like 30-40 years and it ain't happened yet.

The interview is with Rihanna, so obviously the spotlight is on her

Cover looks dope, yall nikkas just live to complain
This. If it's about ASAP and Ri, than I can get the spotlight being on both equally, but the target market (women) want to read about Ri.

Shyt, they could have just went with the "powerful black mother" image and omit ASAP from the cover. We know people would have been lost their minds over that.

I see ASAP being a loving father in that pic, not him being a beta male or some shyt. Relationships and parenthood is a partnership, not a dictatorship.

:comeon: It’s literally a center piece about her. While I am well aware of the media and how they try to emasculate black men, Everything is not a conspiracy. We have a black father holding his child, not the single black mother image. It’s Vogue, not Time magazine or some shyt Men read. If anything it’s a nice positive picture of black love:why:

That was my thing. No one said shyt about a whole as black billionaire family on the cover of Vouge. Just about how ASAP was not front and center. Which woulda been dumb considering the story is about her.

Cats really showing that they'd rather see the ship sink than let a woman make more money or get more shine than them. It's insecure and bytch made.
