LOL you just take it to the extreme. People act like that because some people cannot think of solutions even men need an example to follow. Did you forget a lot of black men didn't have a male role model in the house either? It's not just the women. We gotta teach each other how to deal with these issues. I'm lucky, my parents marriage wasn't perfect .. but my father (always overseas working tho) was in my life til i was 19, it wasn't perfect but it definitely helped me. I would see how he would command respect without uttering a single word, a mother can't teach you that. Some people are gonna be bitter, that's just how they react... but I'm sure if someone could provide them with advice and guidance they would take it rather than reject it. I'm part of the anti-weave movement, I don't mind weave as long as a woman isn't shytting on her own hair in the process. I got my last woman to embrace her natural hair, things didn't work out between us but she learned a lot from me. Not everyone is the same and we need to help each other. You're just as guilty as them because you're shytting on your fellow man the same way some of these people are shytting on black women. I know you see the tone of this thread, a lot of these dudes really wish these problems didn't exist... they want black women.
