For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
Daily, women are being told that we are not like our mothers and grandmothers. Men complain that the black woman of today is not submissive enough. She doesn't cook enough, nor does she clean. Worst of all, she doesn't submit to sex at the whim of her man.
Well Men of America, have you ever stopped to think that maybe it's you and not me? While we're on the subject on how bad the modern woman is, can we talk about the new age man? Do you remember the days where if something was broken in your house your Dad would break out his tool box and fix it. What happened to that man? The new age man can't fix anything. You know how I know? I've asked. Do these new age men even own a tool box? How can you complain about a woman's lack of enthusiasm in regards to cooking when you can't even use a hammer. If you can't even fix small things around the house, you're nothing more than an added child to our existing family. Frankly, if I didn't personally squeeze you out of my womb, I don't need you as a child.
Of course, I could spend some money and hire someone to come fix whatever is broken but honestly I shouldn't have to. My mother never had to spend money on a repair man so why should I. That's one of the simple duties that a man has. We need him to protect us, provide for us and to fix some sh-t when it breaks. If you can't do those three simple things, what purpose do you truly serve?
Some may say I'm being a bit extreme but look at it my way -- if we continue to let men get away with not being men, we're encouraging their useless behavior. Everyday men tell us what we're doing wrong but we hardly ever tell them what their faults are. It's because we accept their behavior. We've already accepted that chivalry is dead and that men refuse to be faithful. One thing I won't accept is having to call a handyman to replace a light bulb. What if we are driving down the road and a tire blows out. Do I have to call AAA to change my flat tire or should the man in my life be able to save the day? There are way too many how to videos on Youtube for men to not know how to do simple things. These days the new age man is more versed on the different types of Jordans than handy work, mowing the lawn or taking out the trash. God help me as I go put together my furniture.
Comment by PeachSoda_ on August 7, 2012 at 6:34pm I was on the side of the road wit a flat tire. Hella niggas honking and trynna holla, and trynna get my number(with no success) but wasn't na'an nigga trynna pull over and help me out! Finally this older, raggedy, fat, white man pulled over to help a sister out!! i almost forgot what i was looking 4 n fell in love. i was SO disgusted wit black men that day! just sayin..
Comment by Baller Alert on August 7, 2012 at 8:28pm @peachsoda my dad taught me how to change a tire just for that reason. I have roadside assistance but if s*** really hits the fan i can do the s*** myself. smh
Comment by Bonita on August 8, 2012 at 12:54am the absent father is an excuse.. my uncle is extremely handy and old school his son who is 25 can't even help cut the lawn at the very least.
Its just being lazy
Comment by PeachSoda_ on August 8, 2012 at 2:22am @balleralert girl i aint grow up wit no daddy... and damn sho don't own one of them crank things that lifts your car... i need to invest in som'n.. me n my moms is the only family we got in Georgia
Comment by nycchickadee on August 8, 2012 at 1:51pm This is so true and I agree with the people who said absent fathers to teach them
Comment by blackfujones on August 9, 2012 at 1:44am agree to some degree...i think the new men and women are very privileged. Me and my brother didnt have the luxury of owning brand new things, or having money to go out to expensive restaurants etc. so we either were taught or learned how to sew/cook/be handymen/fix cars/gardening/how to handle knives...guns/clean animals for hunting etc. However, I will say the society we do live in somewhat negates us from teaching our children or making the children learn these things bc we're a society thats constantly on the go. More than likely both men/women go to work for 8+ hrs a day so mom n dad is coming home at the same time so they go grab carryout. Dad may work weekends or work crazy hrs so he pays the mexicans to cut the grass. Mom works long hours as well so she has no time to sew or do the babies hair so she buys new clothes or pays lil shaniqua down the street to braid her hair. So in some respect i agree but then again there is some surrounding factors that contribute to it.
Comment by blackfujones on August 9, 2012 at 1:48am yup gotta play devils advocate. Soooooooo bc fathers are absent that means the majority of the men are feminine basically?
and yes im still laughing @peachsoda calling a jack and a tire iron a "CRANK THING" lol...thas somethin my mom would say lol
Comment by blackfujones on August 9, 2012 at 1:55am to be honest w/ you all this stuff is crazy..you have both men n women in their mid 20s n 30s who couldnt pick up a needle n thread n fix a h*** in their sweater, prepare a simple meal, pump gas (yes i know 2 women who dont know how to do it). I dont believe it makes you less of a man/woman if you dont know a few things, I honestly believe it makes you inefficient to a degree. But then again some folks really dont nor care about doing things that our parents felt was their duty to know how to do.
