We felt the shift. It didn’t matter that we have experience, earned degrees and head households. We were ‘too uppity’ in wanting success that didn’t completely involve service to everyone.

Or, hear me out, WP could think of their own protest hashtags and not use a hashtag they KNOW is specifically used to bring attention to state-sanctioned violence against Black women that’s often ignored. Why do y’all always need to co-opt ours? Use something else.

Also, what a LOT of people who are not black on this side of the planet do not understand is that being a descendant of slaves is not a badge of shame but a badge of honor. Because that freedom was won under impossible odds. An AMAZING accomplishment.

If you think this hatred is about ‘a few bad clips,’ and not an entire manosphere of misogyny, anti-blackness and the worst, uninformed, uneducated takes on women, sex, dating, relationships, parenting, politics and life in general, I don’t know what tell you.
