She's a perfect example of how the right thing can come out the wrong mouth.
She's like the dudes always harpin on and on about submission. Basically if u worthy of it, you'll get it. She ain't gettin it so that's a problem with HER, not necessarily the community.

I'm traditional too. No amount of hating and shaming is gonna change that. I don't split bills with men. When I lived with my ex, I put in about $200 towards rent and bought groceries. He paid rent/cable and internet and utilities.

Why? Because as a female, (and this is fact) if I'm worth a damn, it's axiomatic that I am going work harder in that relationship than the male is. That's traditionally WHY men wanted to be be married. A helpmate is exactly that---a helpmate. Nobody is going to keep house like me. No male is dusting, making sure our floors aren't sticky, changing the sheets, sweeping, mopping, folding laundry, washing the skid marks out ur drawers like me. Ur not washing the ring around that tub out or scrubbing the soap scum off tiles like men Likewise, a guy might fix a meal every now and again, but u aren't cooking consistently, preparing meals AND cleaning up afterwards. You aren't managing the bills, mail, and I didn't even mention if u have children or elderly.
A woman's work is literally never done. So him taking care of fhe bills is appreciated. My money will go towards emergencies and rainy days and vacation for us as well as shyt around the house we need, groceries, and misc. Actually to be honest, this becomes less of an issue the longer u are with someone b/c it really depends on who will control the finances. Money is pooled. Relationships are communist. Lol! And most dudes I've been with haven't had a problem with this. And if I meet a guy who is better with moolah than I am, I totally don't mind him handling my money and his money and throwing me an allowance.

The real issue here is whether she wants to be honest with herself---is she worthy of that treatment and willing to do her part to maintain that type of lifestyle? She's using a legit issue as an excuse for her own personal romantic failures. I dun told ya'll about these types. Lames can't be spokesmen for concerns b/c they make a caricature of legitimate issues. This bytch as lame as they come trying to hide her unattractiveness and thinly veiled c00ning under the banner "finances in the black community". Just be real and say u want a white dude b/c u gotta stereotype of them having good credit.

This has nothing to do with traditional roles and finances in relationships. That's the front. The REAL name of this article is: "Justifications for Dating White Supremacy and How I've Been Mind Raped into Thinking Non-black=Stability"

Meanwhile I bet my student loans none of those alleged non-blk dudes tryin to fund her mediocre ass thru life either.
SO tired of people lying all the damn time. If u "real" and "bold" enough to insult ur own, be "real" enuff to take honest inventory of why u really ain't poppin too. :comeon:
Tbh the value of housecleaning is like $24k a year

She isn't making feminism look bad. She's embodying what feminism is, which is to keep the privileges of being a woman, obtain the privileges of being a man and facing the downsides of neither.

The title of thread told me everything I need to know about the author. She ain't on the lease or title. In my opinion, this woman is flawed with her thinking of relationships and the value of having a man in her life. She is probably the type that has put an exponentially high value on that p*ssy of hers and most likely the only thing she brings to the table. Modern so called empowered women tend to use that p*ssy as an Ace card that trumps anything a man holds of value or brings to the table. Women will believe that they are the vessel that their man drinks from and only they provide this valuable service when in actuality this is not the case. They like to say this type shyt as a defense mechanism to hide their shortcomings by saying shyt like "I know what my man wants and I give it to him" :mjlol:. These the same bytches that in the same breath say they independent and advocate equal rights. If her man smart he should never give her the keys to his kingdom

I find myself sleeping much better at night, knowing that I do not have to make payment on the rent or mortgage when I have a man right next to me. I can have that stress as a single woman (though I don’t), so if I have that same stress in a relationship I would begin to question why I am in that relationship or what’s going on here?

Where does that sense of entitlement come from?!? :confused:

SOME of her points have merit.

But that whole “I want my man to give his earnings to the household, while I contribute a bit more creatively” is a H U G E red flag.

You out your damn mind if you think you gonna fix your mouth to say something like that to me. If I’m contributing the majority of the mortgage and bills then so be it, because I do believe that as a man that’s my responsibility....

But you gonna contribute somehow. And it won’t be “creatively”. It’s gonna be on something tangible

Are black men expecting to lead households, and not be providers? :gucci:

This is my issue. If you refuse to be the traditional man (i.e. provider), then you cannot expect a chick to be the traditional woman (i.e. submissive). Caveats will be made, in both directions, the further you move away from the traditional model. And that's okay too.

I swear a lot of these women are living in fantasy land...and to the poster who said other cultures do this, they actually do not and this is definitely a western thing. Japanese aren't having kids cause the women are too busy working and having careers. I hate to say this but I notice this type of feminist thinking when it comes to black 'millennial' women and not so much their white counterparts. But you cannot blame them as society and WS has made them think this way.

I am extremely old school and traditional when it comes to family values and structure. My man covers the $2,600 mortgage on our residence by himself but every month I put $1,500 into our joint investment accounts and pay for his car note as my car is paid off. There is nothing wrong with working together as a team and building together and I would honestly feel like a bum ass bytch if I couldn't contribute and I would feel like my man wants to control my life if he didn't allow me to contribute.

My lady is 10x more attractive than this broad, is going for her PHd, and it was actually HER desire to split up our rent.

I fukking won....


Everyone is different and every couple is different. Most women have a fantasy of what they think is the best dynamic for a relationship. The reality is you both should compromise and make choices that leads to the most happiness and productivity for everyone.

If I pay all the rent, then she would end up doing more cleaning and cooking. She pays a third of our rent so I don’t have these old fashioned expectations of her. It’s a balance.
