Why are men expected to provide and protect?

[Star143]

Damn, this is pathetic.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

It is outdated. None of these things exist in Indian, white and Asian American households.

I observe these people all the time and these days most races in the western world view marriage and relationship as a partnership.

Black folks still having gender role debates

Which is crazy to me becuz we are the one race where these gender roles never really held up to begin with. I’ve never known women black woman to stay at home unless they were on welfare. People keep referring to a time in America where women could stay home. Our female ancestors NEVER had that luxury

I don't provide for Feminists

If you act like a true woman, I will surely provide for you. Simple as that

 

[Roid Jones]

I would not want my daughter around a dude like @Prynce ever.

How can you want to be involved with women and not want to protect them?

I take pride in knowing if I'm out with female friends/coworkers or family that they would look to me to help protect them if need be.

It's wild to me that there are dudes that don't think like this

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

Growing up and not seeing a functional healthy relationship leads to brehs who think like this.

Sucks because so many black people grow up in broken homes and we get a snowball effect.

Shyt brazy breh.

So, according to you, what is a “true” woman?

 

[UpAndComing]

So, according to you, what is a “true” woman?

Knowing that the man is the leader of the relationship, period. Once she understands that, everything else starts from there

She'll be less combative, vindictive, passive aggressive, and undermining. Being a housewife doesn't automatically make a woman a true woman, just like being a career woman doesn't automatically make a woman a feminist


At the same, if a man abuses his leadership and becomes a dictator, he's not a true man

 

[Maxine Shaw]

This is what I dislike, shaming language...take that ish to LSA.

No.

 

[southern.girl]

Nope.

Op literally asking a question.

Women telling dudes working towards their benifit is masculinity.

They ain't remotely the same thing.

OP came from a fatherless (or simply unhealthy) home & is speaking against traditional marriages. All while dragging women of similar circumstances for speaking on the same subject. It’s exactly the same thing. Anyone who doesn’t see that is speaking from ego & emotion....which is a killer to any healthy relationship, but I digress.

A generalization like rich and powerful men protect their wives is something out of a fairytale book
Up until about one hundred years ago women were seen as property and in the days of monarchs a lot of women got married to strengthen political alliances or because of their ability to bear male heirs
Defending your wife was just defending your property
You the one who operating on emotion my guy
@Booksnrain the only one who has made a point
The rest of y’all just falling back on cliche ad hominems, ironically like a woman would do
The destruction of the nuclear family began when women started getting the equality they demanded
Too many wanted to have their cake and eat it too
If women want to be equal they can’t expect society to provide them with safety nets anymore or at least not more than the average man would have

The reason don't matter long as she's protected and provided for and it has value in maintaining the power of a family across various cultural styles.

But hey if the women in your own family have no value for to you to protect for reasons of property or emotion, you've drawn your line in the sand

They can take care of themselves.

Stay in school, brehettes.

'No true Scotsman' fallacy aside, I agree.

You keep your woman at home because women are too succeptable to being influenced,so too much outside influence,from too many sources is a bad thing for a woman. This is protecting your womans mind and spirit from the rest of these hellhounds we currently live among here in Babylon.

Low key, this. My cultural intake is curated, purposefully, by ME. One of the realizations I mentioned earlier is that other bytches can poison your mind. Not all, but you have to be selective. I can't even partake in general 'black girl culture' no more bc it's toxic. I just unsubbed from two girls on yt behind this shyt. For years, they did wigs and make up. Next minute, they IG thotties getting ass surgery. I didn't come here for that, sis.

 

[Black Sinatra]

A lot of yall letting this

No one has more freedom then a man. With that freedom comes responsibility

Basically this.

shyt ain't hard.

I get it, shyts hyper progressive right now, and all manner of social construct norms are in debate. I promise this tho, If catastrophe happens...the men will do the bulk of the work. If you're black we already in catastrophic conditions. Don't let these academics fool you into a lull. They do it all the time with hyper feminism, LGBT, etc... and because we so gullible we become the face of shyt no problem. While they watch and maintain traditionalism. Years later they go its unfinished science or theory with a detrimental outcome to communities "look at the black community." Be an experiment brehs.

 

[Will Ross]

What natural laws?

Lol Animals don't even do that shyt

Lions lay back and let the females hunt

Only time a male lion fights is to stop other lions from taking over his spot

Even other primates don't do that shyt

The male lions protects the pride from all the other animals. The female lions hunting means nothing without the male protection
