Tell that to some of these Black Feminists living their Xena warrior princess fantasy. But bu bu.. Ashanti tribe was ran by women.
When the Europeans fought the Natives, the former made sure to kill all the latter's men while sparing the women. For the Europeans saw women as corruptible, passive and non-threatening. Meanwhile the Native men were seen as the very opposite: recalcitrant, angry and vengeful. The Europeans did not stop their mission until all the Native men were eliminated, neutered or ineffect. We all know how the story ends.
To continue:
When the men are gone, their people's power structure falls and then everything else. What feminists don't realize is that virtually all human groups are patriarchies, meaning that men largely (if not wholly) rule. This isn't to say that matriarchies have never existed, but perhaps such societies cannot exist in the same space patriarchies also exist. In the ancient world I believe matriachies were all eventually conquered by patriarchies. A woman-led society is predisposed to femminity, which itself implies superfluity and non-warring mentality of sorts. This value-driven society is easy prey for male-led societies, which often put more value on blue collar things and war-like mentalities. Nature has made it so the latter are better warsmasters.
When people think of war, they think of men. And ironically when people think of "the last stand" they mean war. Is it a coincidence then that men are an integral part of that "last stand"? Power is in one man's cradle or another. That has been the case since human history began. Feminists who attack black men only contribute to our powerlessness, which in turn reflects on black people's.
Part of the reason black men don't have that much power is because how few of us there are actually in this country. People think that because they see black guys on TV, that means we are half the population - but we're not even close. Black men make up 6% of the population at best and when you take out the brehs in prison, mentally ill, slow (all normal parts of any population), the number of black men that can actually compete for power in this country is like 2-3%. The low percentage of black men in this country is BY DESIGN. Over the last 300 years 97% of the people brought to this country have been white BY DESIGN. How can black feminists lambast black men or powerlessness? There is virtualy no way a real population of 2-3% can withstand a population of like 40-50%. Every black man could 6'5, 250 and an IQ of 125, it wouldn't make a difference.
