Drowning in Shallow Water

C: Men who cheat are trash! Guess what? Women who knowingly pursue men in relationships are also trash! Equally! Shocking, I know.

Women aren’t picking the wrong men. Lots of y'all men are manipulative and show your true colors when you can’t get what you want.

Charm is actually a common trait in abusers. The thing people ignore is that no one starts out being a scumbag. Instead they are charming, attentive, friendly, supportive, and everyone likes them at first. In fact when their victim first complains about something that has happened friends & relatives that the abuser has charmed will side with the abuser and make the victim feel like they are overreacting. Wash, rinse, repeat because the abuser will take every time someone sides with them as proof that no one cares about or trusts the victim. And since the victim has tried and failed to be heard, it gets even easier for the abuser to break them them down and isolate them. You’re not picking the wrong person, the wrong person has picked you and became whatever they needed to be to get you.

When I was in my 20s, I lived in a city with a wonderful beach and a great lesbian community. A bunch of us (all lesbians) set up a campfire in the evening and were planning to do some music jamming and just hanging out. We were all completely sober, just having fun. Not long after we arrived, a group of young men set up a fire down the beach from us and started having their own gathering and chilling session, though theirs included a fair amount of alcohol, from what we could see. One of them came over and invited us to come hang with them. We thanked them for the invite but we were not interested. He pressed it a bit and we told them “girls’ night out, sorry,” he left and we resumed hanging out.

A while later, two of them came and much more aggressively pushed the issue, confronting us about our sexual orientation. A friend said in jovial tones: “So what, if we don’t want to hang out with you then we are lesbians? We are just hanging out like you guys are, we are having girl time, so please respect that and do your own thing.” They seemed to genuinely respect that and left, but when they got back to their campfire, it seemed that wasn’t cool with their friends. We could see them gathered together, commiserating about us. They looked very intense and agitated and were watching us like hawks. We packed up and left.

How many times have women had to curtail their leisure activities for safety reasons because some guy or guys could not take no for an answer? This affects us on so many levels in so many ways.

DAILY REMINDER TO AVOID COLOR STRUCK NEGROES AT ALL COSTS.

PAY CLOSE ATTENTION to the drop in volume when colorism is being spoken about vs racism.

You are not pro black if you are a colorist piece of shit. Black lives don’t matter to you if you are a colorist piece of shit. You have no seat at the table if you are a colorist piece of shit. BLACK WOMEN DON’T MATTER TO YOU IF YOU ARE A COLORIST PIECE OF SHIT.

Light skin black women show solidarity and self-respect and STAY AWAY from men who find your complexion ideal. You may get shit from black men but it will NEVER be because you’re light SKIN. RECOGNIZE that and STOP cosigning colorism.

PROTECT DARK SKIN BLACK WOMEN.

PROTECT DARK SKIN BLACK WOMEN.

Black Men Two Months Later: Why? Why did one of our black queens decide to date/marry outside of our race? :( We’ve been so good to them! So supportive! I can’t wrap my head around it. :( It’s the white man’s fault, he brainwashed them! We never ever say anything horrendous about black women or specifically target black women for behaviors or features that we ourselves have! We’re perfect little angels. :)

Ever since getting over my stalker(who was white) I actually stopped liking white guys a bit. He was everything I hated in men, I’m not going to think every white guy is the same, but I do have that fear that a white guy will look at me as a fetish. And I don’t even date black guys anymore because my traumatic past with them, and how they made me feel about myself. But ironically I fallen for a black/Latino guy . I think black girls have the most complicated love lives, if we love a non black guy we’re either selling out or made fun of. But if we do date a black guy we’re accused we’re not open to new opportunities. Sometimes I want to give up dating and just have that friend who will cuddle with you until you draw your last breath.

I hide a lot of self problems from my love ones (even tho i pretend to be perfect) For instance my body, I hate everything about my body down to how long my toes are.The only thing about myself I love is my natural hair and skin tone. I’m a 24 trapped in a 8 year old boy body( no butt or breast at all) and to make things worst I’m short, very skinny and i have child that’s 5. Most of the time people thinks she’s my sister. To hide the fact that I have self image problems is I have alot of sex. I feel like if a man want to have sex with me then my body must not be that bad. But when I think about it men will have sex with any women long as they appropriate for them. It feels good to finally after all these years let this out. Thank you

Pessimistic about relationships

I’m losing faith in healthy monogamous relationships. How can a relationship like that succeed if men have a constant desire to sleep with multiple women? Sometimes I think that relationships were created to put women in chains while the man lives as a free master having “ownership” over multiple women. Yet a part of me doesn’t want to hold back anyone’s sexual freedom, so it feels like I’m brainwashed by books, movies, and shows to want a monogamous relationship. Even if I am, it’s still what I desire. I just don’t see how it could ever truly work if a mans desire isn’t one woman.
