6093, It does not have 2 B

SOLELY the woman's work. U have Brothahs right on this very site who attempt to uplift their Queens through diet, and offer knowledge through conversation, building, what-have-you(I won't call anyone out specifically on it, they can speak/write on it themselves if they choose 2). The point is, it works both ways. I am not saying that ONLY women can do this. I'm saying that we can exert much power THROUGH doing this. If U want 2 go out, B a Warrior-Princess, do U're thang, and have HIM stay home donning socks, and preparing food, that is fine, but, most Brothahs are not strong enough within themselves to accept that role, at this particular time in our his(OUR)story. There are a FEW out there that "I" know of, but not many. OR, you BOTH can B out there, taking turns doing your respective thang, while the other is home w/ the children. It is not a cookie-cutter kind of strategy, Sis. Nor should it B.
