I've came across many of those brothers, and yeah they are always on that '...you need to see the queen in you and respect yourself', but I question them on just how in the hell do they know if I do or do not see the queen in me and just what the hell do they mean by respect myself? Sad thing about it is that some of these mofos be having 2-3 kids by 2 baby mommas who they never refer to and the kids are usually found out about by accident or dude will dog her and the way she lives and raises their seed. One nemcompoot dropped all that 'but my Sistah' bs then started defiling his babymoms. I was like how are you going to talk all that mess then dogg your sons mother, I mean there had to have been something special about her for yall to have been together and created life together and he came with the same sorry ass line I hear from one 2 many cats 'I didn't know she was like she was' along with 'I was wild back then too, but I've changed my ways', yet dude still dogs the mother of his child. This aint to say she is or is not what he says, but if dude really wanted to uplift women he would probably do best starting with the mother of his seed(s). I kinda went on a personal rant with this, my bad, but I feel you on the 'just here to bear kids' bit, I've lost count of how many dudes began to side step as I came up. Matter of fact I got a long ass story to tell on that but I'll shorten as much as possible. I was working for a Black theater in the Chi. When I came on board, folks were warm, guys(mostly old heads) especially and gave me that 'good to see a young sistah with her head on her shoulders' bullshit. As time went on, niggers(and I do mean niggers) began to start that 'can you hang with the big boys' bullshit and started sabotaging my work. The straw that broke the camels back was when we had a prodomenately female production(female:producer/writer,director, set designer, wardrobe, and cast(w/ one male actor)). However the stage manager and hands were mostly men. Anyway I asked this asshole(stage manager) to paint a floor 2 weeks before the opening, I come into the theater to see if everything is up to par, top it off I was there til 5 in the mornin the day before making sure the other needs were met and had even spoken to this cat throughout the damn day from my 9to5 to make sure he had the floor finished by 3pm. I come in bout 6pm and another fool(who is buddy/buddy w/ the first) is painting the damn floor less than an hour before showtime. Luckily the play went well, but the stickiness of the paint did cause some problems for the actors walking and dancing(yes the actors had to dance on a sticky floor). Now I had had my share of sexism from whitemales school and workwise and in the same industry, but to have grown ass Black men take on the vindictiveness of the same men that treated them that way, just pissed me the fuck off. It also brought to mind 'the Color Purple' and how mista took on the slave master mentality throwing it in full load on Ceely. Anyway I definately need to pick up hooks, sorry for the rant.
