I want to talk about the normalization (especially in ethnic communities ) in baby mama culture including even those of us who have grown up sheltered or wealthy or are currently wealthy or considered celebrities (for example like skai Jackson, keke palmer, Halle Bailey, Jayda cheaves, etc.) and the types of fathers being chosen and fetishized.

A lot of girls within black and brown communities are not raised nor taught what it means to have high levels of self worth, standards, or boundaries which leads to a whole lot of us going out into the world when we’re ready to seek out romantic relationships and connections and connecting with men who are less than satisfactory, can’t fulfill our needs, can’t love us, are in a wounded masculine energy, and have generations of karmic cycles and trauma that would not benefit us if we were to invest in relationships with them or procreate with them. We are not taught that if we can’t find a husband in a man that he should not get a child out of us nor be in our energy, and/or finding a romantic partner in us. We’re not taught what fully healed and divine masculine men look like, we’re not even taught what you should do when we come across individuals in our lives who can’t love us, display dysfunctional behaviors, display abusive or toxic behaviors, etc.

I had previously made a point a long while ago about the suppression and demonization of femininity within ethnic households when it comes to raising little girls and daughters. My post was mostly surrounded around black girls as I grew up black so I have a first hand account of that experience. The type of suppression I’m talking about can fall into purity culture, the “too grown” rhetoric, the idea of raising girls and women in ways that highly encourage them to grow up and be home makers and serve and center men in their lives in self-sacrificial and codependent ways, etc. interest in romantic relationships and connections starts as early as middle school and you have a responsibility to your daughters to raise and teach them up in a way that will prepare them to be discerning and have high levels of self love and worth growing up and also prepare them for becoming and being a fully grown woman and a functional one at that.

There are way too many girls and women who don’t know their worth because they weren’t taught, way too many girls and women who don’t quite make that transition from being a teenager/a young girl into being a grown woman and operating as such, way too many girls and women who were never taught the ways of womanhood or what it meant to cultivate your femininity or carry it in a way that was conducive to them and their development (down to hygiene basics to etiquette and “game”)

And then we wonder why girls end up being baby mothers, end up in abusive relationships or attached and stuck to men who don’t really love them, don’t know their worth or don’t know who they are, and don’t know how to be women and operate as one in the world. Because they weren’t taught. You have to teach them.

i hate that there is so much hatred for women in the world, so much hatred for girls, even little girls. cant even express how much love my heart holds for women, i love being a woman and i love women more than anything. everything about women, everything about trans, poc, cis , queer, butch, disabled, religious, neurodivergent, fat, old women, everything about all women is so so beautiful. and yes there are women that suck and womanhood isnt about being a cute little innocent person, but oh how i love women and i love women who love women and i love women.

The barbie movie giving attention to feminism is great and all, but for real fuck the white feminists taking over everything. They’re just erasing poc women’s issues and only blatantly talking about their own oppression. It’s just absolutely disgusting to see.

They’re going around crying about how the film was “the movie for all women”. Excuse fucking me. Did y’all give a single thought to other 2020s movies featuring women, such as eeaao? Obviously not, since they featured a poc woman’s issues. None of y’all “feminists” gave a flying fuck about that.

For “all women”. I love the film and it’s ideologies myself, but please. Are y’all possibly stating that all women are on the same level against the patriarchy? That’s just the same thing as saying “I don’t see colour”. See the problem here?

Another thing, I absolutely love Greta Gerwig’s films such as Little Women, or Lady Bird, but I just can’t shake the feeling that again, just as with Sofia Coppola, yet again, it is nothing but white feminism. Not a single poc woman playing an important role in the film, just there to do nothing but support and stand alongside the white main characters while they’re all shown to fight the patriarchy themselves. And now this is making me think, although maybe it’s my sleep deprived brain just catching up on pure coincidences, but do white feminists truly believe that poc women don’t do anything in dismantling the patriarchy and are just there to “divide women”? Because I’m seeing a pattern going on here.

I’m here simply to say it’s cringe, and stupid to just ignore poc women’s issues and being stuck in that victim mindset, believing you are the only ones out there battling the damn patriarchy. Victim mentality comes from a position of privilege.
