i keep hearing sistas talking about how we have to stick by our men, help them through their trials and tribulations 'cause they're just as beat down by the system as we are and so on and so forth...
but when is enough enough?
when do you stop standing still for a man who gives you no guarantees?
we've all heard the rant about white collar blk women having issues with blue collar blk men...i'm going beyond that. whether my man works in a boardroom or a machine room, i'm happy as long as he's making a good, honest living and is standing on his own two feet. hell, i can't say i'm much of a "career woman", so that's no big deal.
the issues i'm talking about are more emotional, spiritual. what is stunting the growth of our men? can we blame it all on the lack of fathers? i really think that, similar to the issue of socioeconomics and crime, we have to ask at what point personal responsibility and self-awareness take over.
what motivates a man? there are so many programs and self help books for women...why haven't the "experts" learned what works for men?
is the only thing that can help a man a good woman? how long is said woman supposed to hang in there while he gets his shit together?
i wanna slap the teeth out of the mouth of every man who's left his son.
i wanna tongue-lash every woman who made her son the "man" of the house as soon as he could talk in complete sentences.
you don't know the monsters you're creating.
