Shea Butter Twitter's use of "auntie" desexualizes women #ToxicFemininity

[HarlemHottie]

Aunty


I never heard any 1 call they own Aunt that


shyt sound soft as fukk

My niece calls me Auntie.

I see their point bc I refer to myself as an auntie on here sometimes in order to desexualize myself.

Still, not enough to start a twitter movement.

Imagine a nikka about to get interviewed and the chick calls u

[African Peasant]

These people are mentally ill.

 

[African Peasant]

so what do you call her ?

Mrs. "Aunty"

 

[Umoja]

It's a respect thing. It shouldn't be on people who were not raised properly to set the tone for how we interact.

Erm, that's not how that works. "Uncle" is the correct counterpart to "Auntie".

 

[Ricky Fontaine]

So i can't call a woman female or auntie but they can call me every variation of the n-word under the sun?

Things that make you go

Erm, that's not how that works. "Uncle" is the correct counterpart to "Auntie".

Do you think "Uncle" Luke gets mad when the kids these days call him "uncle"?

Never heard them complain



And I never knew being desexualized was a thing

Young people call women older than them "aunty" in africa and the caribbean even if they aren't related......it's a sign of respect for an elder.

correct I think some got it from Black panther and now that the trend is wearing down they are getting annoyed and starting to feel offended

 

[Ugo Ogugwa]

Ok that's your culture
Not everyone's

Shut the fuk up auntie

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

Hoes ain't NEVER happy


Reminds me of the time when I was walking home from junior high school back in the day

And this lady walks towards me asking if the store around the barbershop around the corner is open today

I responded respectfully..

"yes ma'am"....it is open today"

She responds in a hostile manner

"DONT CALL ME MA'AM..I AINT EVEN TURNED 30 YET"



ME:


I was confused but enlightened at the same Time....

Because I realized right then...

B1TCHES ARE CRAZY

It ages you. Usually an older woman is called auntie. I personally don’t call women older than me (like in their 50s) by their first name. It’s always Mrs. Thats just how I was raised. I can understand why she doesn’t like it. She’s not that old

And really, I don’t think it’s complaining. People should call you what YOU want. Nothings wrong with that.

I think most in the thread agree with you. Call someone by what they want to be called.

Most people’s issue is stems from the other commenters latching on to this making it a thing. All they need to do is tell their inner circle and KIM.
