Black Feminist: Black Patriarchy hurts everyone

[#1 pick]

"My shoe collection costs more than your annual salary. You don't make enough money to even breathe in my direction.."

"Men put so much of their mental well being into how much money they are able to provide.."




The fact that these two sentences were said by the same person, one right after the other, let's you know all you need to know.

How to say you are a LSA hoe without saying it

Well what is a patriarch?

You tell me. What’s a patriarch in the Black cultural and contextual paradigm as opposed to how it’s viewed from Cac society?

no

- it’s never been a Black patriarchy in America
- just because there was a father in the house back in those days doesn’t mean that was a patriarch
- the definition of a patriarchy is where the man is in the house, he is head of the household, he makes all the decisions within his house/community/environment /government

that never applied to us

in order for a patriarchy to exist, there has to be the ability by the male of the group to control all 9 aspects of the society:

• the education (school),
• the finance(bank),
• the law (government),
• entertainment,
• labor,
• sex,
• religion,
• war

im trying to figure out when in the history of America as a sovereign nation has a black male held control over this for ANY group, let alone all the groups (which is what a patriarchy requires).

black women have been subsidized largely by the government in all these areas, to the point where open defiance has been normalized and is part of the black female culture.

the concept of a black patriarchy is totally null and void.

buzzwords, twitter lingo, miserable echo chambers, and a shared experience of failed relationships due to failing to understand the purpose of a man and a woman coming together (which is essentially a lack of accountability), does not validate any of these females talking points.

Precisely.

You claimed that we've been more of a matriachy though. Thats why I asked what is a patriarchy. Just because a woman can make some decisions around the house, doesn't mean its a matriachy.. Thats called a partnership..

Its not even worth living with a woman and having a family, if she can't make any decisions for the house.. You may as well stay a bachelor and just fck h0es all day..
