Well said. I really hate how feminists deny the impact feminism has had on men's "mental health". I literally witnessed it growing up... my own mother, a black second-waver, and my grandmother (she was a Black Panther), and my aunts severely browbeat black men during the 80s and 90s. My own father rarely spoke and was soft-spoken at home, and he worked at a prison where he needed to be a manly man, not a feeble man.

I was told my grandmother knocked out her husband's teeth. She cheated on him (part of "sexual liberation") which is why my mom had a different father than her youngest siblings (there will 11 siblings in all). Maybe white feminism was different from black feminism.

Domestic abuse and violence against men is not part of women's rights or feminism, lol.

Self-defense is which is what I was told to believe. "Black women must defend ourselves outside and inside of our homes against white people and black men."

Black women can't have "egalitarian" relationships with black men who want to be both victims and abusers.

"Offense is the best self-defense"? I don't buy that slogan, so I will disagree.
