And if I wander down the wrong road

It's alright baby, just let me go

If I get tired of all those assholes

It's alright cause' I want them to know

I'm sick and tired of all this bullshit

Rough shit, same shit

Hey Jesus come on down and save us, save us, rave on

And on the road I ride through Richmond

Rich man, You know the business I'm in

And feeling sorry, makes me feel mad

Someday, uh baby, I play to win

I'm sick and tired of all this bullshit

Rough shit, same shit

Can't Jesus come on down and save us, save us, rave on

I'm sick and tired of all this bullshit

Rough shit, same shit

Can't Jesus come on down and save us, save us, rave on

And if I wander down the wrong road

It's alright honey, just let me go

If I get tired of all those assholes

It's alright cause' I want them to know

I'm sick and tired of all this bullshit

Rough shit, same shit

Hey Jesus come on down and save us, save us, rave on

i think the reason white women/white feminists glorify the 'strong independent black woman' trope is because they mistakenly think it's some GNC, anti-patriarchy thing that black women came up with to stick it to the man... we didn't. idk what the men told you. but make no mistake it's not about us being respected leaders but moreso packhorses.

the strong black women trope is very much gender-conforming and hyperfeminine. it may not be pink and ribbons and cute but it is indeed Feminine (Pertaining to Female Stereotypes). the strong black woman is the ultimate 'mother' figure (see the Mammie stereotype). she gives and gives and GIVES, having no feelings of her own. she can be abused and raped and tortured without showing any trauma or shedding a tear. she is whipped to the point of death while in labor. her children are stolen from her at birth. she breastfeeds her mistress's children the milk meant for hers without a complaint.

she is self-sacrificing having no self-love or indeed self-identity. every Black woman tries her best to escape this stereotype in order to maintain her self-identity. this is the stereotype which causes us to die at crazy high rates in childbirth... still think it's empowering? Black women cling to the feminine aesthetic because we hope it will humanize us, earn us a scrap of empathy. we hope people will look at us and see just a woman instead of a black woman. you can laugh all you like at the bright-under-eye dark-lip-liner long-nails IG girls but you don't understand how they got there. 'princess' may be a cage but it's a nicer and better cage than 'mammie.'

women of all races have to escape the programming but it's different for all of us.

why do you think hollywood loves portraying the strong black woman struggle love stereotype so much? do you think holly-WEIRD is down with the cause?

being 'soft' and expecting to be waited on and prioritizing our feelings is GNC for Black women. that's how men behave, after all.

*waves hand* make me a plate.

#why black women are so drawn to the hyper feminine aesthetic #and materialism #it's an escape from servile femininity #it's not an escape from patriachy though #as evidenced by women who go beyond the aesthetic #and fall into the divine feminine trap which is patriarchy all over again #'strong black woman' is not about being physically strong #or mentally strong #it's about being the ultimate slavewoman

Dress Codes Explained

I feel like I’ve created enough templates for your mind development, routines, habits, etc. I’m getting bored with putting out the same content in a different manner so now I’m going to start switching up my content. I’m going to focus more on how one can carry themselves, socialise, etc etc.

My first article under this segment “Cultural Education” here will be about dress codes. You will find this segment on my pinned post.

Culturally, dress codes differ from one another. The western world is generally more tolerant towards showing of skin, for instance; but if you were to attend formal events in Asia and the Middle East, I’d highly, highly recommend you opt for a more modest look.

This is a very brief breakdown on what a woman can wear and when.

Images are for examples only.

1. Casual

Meaning: low-key, but not like you just woke up.

* Sundress

* Long/ midi skirt

* Tailored pants or nice jeans (not ripped, distressed, acid wash- plain and simple)

* Tailored shorts

* Plain T-shirt (no graphics), polo t-shirt, turtleneck

* Button-down shirt

2. Dressy

Meaning: no jeans, generally use of lighter colours

* Skirt (not bum short)

* Tailored trousers

* Dress

* Co ord sets

* Jumpsuits

* Sundresses

3. Semi formal

Meaning: dressier than your corporate office job, but more casual than a formal gown.

* LBD (but not too little)

* Maxi skirt

* Cocktail dress

4. Business

Meaning: what a typical office senior person would wear.

* Suit

* Dress (modest; at least knee length; not too short)

* Dress with a jacket

* Blazer and a skirt

* Stockings (optional in summer)

* 3-4 inch heels / loafers / flats

5. Business casual

Meaning: what one would typically wear everyday to a corporate job that does NOT abide by Gen Z clothing (meaning slightly more conservative)

* Skirt, khakis, or pants

* Open-collar shirt, knit shirt or sweater (no spaghetti straps or décolleté)

* Dress (again, modest)

6. Black tie

Meaning: formal evening events, generally after 6 pm.

* Formal (floor length) evening gown (avoid slits, too tight dresses)

* Dressy cocktail dress

Nah I'm seeing a lot of posts on here and twitter blaming Martha's fans for her mischaracterization and while this does happen I'm really not feeling the idea that feeling sorry for Martha like at all is form of infantilisation or removing her agency. Already covered this in previous posts but the strong-Black-womaning is starting to piss me off bc its not an either or. You can feel sympathy for Martha and recognise that she grew and moved on at the same time. Like this doesn't happen to any other companion. We still recognise Rose's vulnerabilities even tho she got herself a gun. We recognise the Clara that pretended to be the Doctor is the same Clara that broke down crying. Again this is why you have to engage with antiblackness as itself and not just a fandom issue bc any basic reading will show you that pity and sympathy are things not afforded to Black women on a systemic or social level and arguing this ruins our characterisation, we need less or none at all is not giving what you think its giving.

#describe Black women without using the words “strong” or “independent” challenge #Praise a Martha Jones trait that isn't strength challenge #doctor who #martha jones #doctor who fandom #fandom antiblackness #dr who fandom #dw fandom #black representation #strong black woman #fandom vent #fandom misogynoir

To someone who's constantly doubting her strength to protect the people she cares about, refusing to fight on account of chivalry can feel particularly hurtful and insulting.

(I THOUGHT I HAD POSTED THIS)

Bonus chibi fairytale sanuso under the cut for some extra comfort ^^

#In Electra's mind she lost her original crew because she wasnt strong enough to protect them #imagine this is after a big argument about putting himself in danger by refusing to fight women #she knows how he is but it just got to her this one time #one piece #black leg sanji #sanji #one piece sanji #sanji op #op sanji #sanji fanart #sanji x oc #oc x canon #op oc #op ocs #electra #god usopp #usopp #sanuso #one piece usopp
