    Some while ago, the idea for this writing came to mind because the song was featured in Living Single. So, I talked about the legacy of @IAMQUEENLATIFAH song “U.N.I.T.Y.”. If ya read, please let me know your thoughts! open.substack.com/pub/bluelxnge/… #mentalhealth #emotions #rap

    Men do not have to mistreat women they do not like. That’s the part folk miss. Also, men can neatly disclose that they are disinterested so everybody on the same page lmao

    Decentering men is often said to women, but men also have to learn to decenter men

    As Ashanti discusses how the men around her like Ja Rule ignored Irv Gotti hurting her, we should sit with that fellas. These were men she thought were her friends that abandoned/hurt her. Being “neutral” means we are allowing and enabling women in being hurt

    The way Jada Pinkett Smith is being treated is showing just how violent people can be when they feel they are “justified” in attacking a Black woman

    A graduate of Morehouse College is on IG actively endangering at @moneyymaya safety in support of Talib Kweli by posting her address. So, again, at what point do folk realize the harm Black women face is exuded from all facets of society?

    Dudes will live they entire lives tryna honor some idea of manhood a man they look up to has “set”. It is not a joke to say many men, like many people, have no idea how to be themselves

    When we choose to not care about women's pain but go over the top when a woman is "wrong" we are complicit in their pain. There is a reason some of us only care about the second but not the first. The reason is misogyny and, since I'm discussing Ashanti, misogynoir

    Gender roles quite literally rob kids of love and tenderness, and folk act like that’s not wrong

    Which is me saying that, before we are men, we are people. So, we have to begin asking and exploring which parts of ourselves we sacrifice in order to be what we "think" a man is

    In a day or two men in the hip hop community will be rallying around Takeoff and claiming the woman is “coming forward for clout”
