Generational wealth is easy to have when you can just rob a global south country cos who is going to hold you accountable? The short one’s niece was telling ppl they are upset they didn’t go to an Ivy meanwhile it’s the poor ppls money that funded her education 🥴

I won’t even get into her Hitler (& Bill Cosby) comments. I’ll just say that I deeply deplore Black people who switch into being contrarian (whether it is in a “love & light” way like her or a “I’m just build different” way like Kanye) about that demon.

Let’s be real. They weren’t paying for everything. They were taking the money that women earned and deciding how that money was used. Women have always worked.
Quote Tweet
“Why do men have to pay for everything?” Because our grandmothers legally couldn’t open a bank account so they probably told our moms to rely on men for money and our moms probably told their daughter the same thing. You’re mad at patriarchy, not women.

We all already know this is true but we will pretend that it’s not true because we also know that if women were able to actually choose to not do our “duty,” the entire patriarchy & society as we know it will fall apart. Nothing I’m saying is new 🤷🏿‍♀️

Patriarchal societies do not reward women for going against what is expected of them. Whether those women choose to not partner with men or choose to not have children or choose to not do gendered labor, society will punish them simply for not doing their “duty.”

In 2023, we will stop the lie that there are no social repercussions for not submitting to patriarchal expectations even if your humanity & sense of self & happiness are at risk. We’ll stop pretending that “duty” to the family & community aren’t used to coerce women
