Well, from these younger Gen Z Black women's perspective and criticisms, it's coming from their experiences dealing with their counterparts; Gen Z Black men.
There's a reason behind the disgruntled feelings, some of it romance, some of it expectations, some of it is Black men their age not performing or excelling in certain fields of life (educationally and economically), making bad life choices (street life, gang activity, sitting in jail wasting away), among other things that's added to the apathetic attitudes towards men of her generation.
I believe that a woman's happiness and anger can sometimes be a reflection of how the men in her life treat her, she's not just mad for no reason, there's always a reason.
Look, this is a site dominated by men so we're gonna make excuses and/or downplay certain things in our favor or avoid specific topics altogether but I must say, when will some of you, particularly those of you extra critical about the state Black women, apply those same criticisms suggestive attitudes, towards your younger brothas who need guidance and the push to become better versions of themselves not just for the women and children but for their sake because they owe it to themselves.
We're extra critical about the state of Black women and enforcing our beliefs and opinions on what they should do (in our eyes) to become better women but where's this concern for the younger men in our communities to be better, this whole “who cares, let men be men, it's not up to us as men to be better but, it's up to the women to choose, and decide better” is problematic because we're avoiding accountabilities and responsibilities that we have for our community especially as it relates to the younger men who need us to be better for them.
