When we meet a new person it doesn’t take long before we know if we’re intellectually compatible with them. Then depending on how much you like them, if you’re smarter and a woman - you dumb yourself down. Why? Because if you don’t you risk making him think you’re an opinionated bitch. Society has a history of labeling intelligent women with undeserving titles – gay, needs a man, can’t get a man, can’t keep a man, difficult…the list goes on. But how is suppressing a person’s thoughts, ideals and dreams constructive? There was a time when it was suggested women should always make their man feel as though his thoughts were the most important in the world. Women were supposed to hide the fact they possessed intellect or common sense. Fortunately those days are gone or are they? No matter how tough a woman presents herself to be on the outside, inside she wants love, respect, acceptance and approval from her man. This gives her strength. When you silence a woman her spirit becomes damaged and while she might on the surface get over it, inside a wound has developed. Mutual respect is a key component to a healthy loving relationship. When we provide our partner with room to express thoughts without fear of repercussion we are in essence helping to establish trust within the relationship. This is all good in theory but in reality a man’s ego cannot handle a woman knowing more than him. It threatens his authority and diminishes his feeling of being the master. When you think about it simplistically, they learned about life from a woman, she was superior. If he has to learn from you too then you are superior. So do you continue to dumb yourself down? For now yes because society isn’t ready to acknowledge a world filled with powerful women or is it…..
Okay tell it to me one more again – why I got to be silent? “What fo you talkin like that? You makin fun of me?” What fo I’m talkin like that?….I thought I was speaking the type of English you understand you dumb motherfucker! “Now you see, that’s why you aint nevah gone be able to keep a man. I might not speak right but I got a good paycheck and I can pay my gotdamn bills!” Brenda was about to let loose on him but realized his dumb ass was right. Besides, Janine needed money for cheerleading. I’m just playing. Why do you take everything so serious? Brenda reached for the belt buckle on his garbage man’s uniform. Carl stared down at her as she sucked him off. “Yeah I thought you’d change yo attitude.”
Brenda came in from work tired and hungry. She’d used some of the money she got from Carl earlier and picked up some groceries before she went to work. She was looking forward to fixing the steaks she bought. As she opened the door she smelled steak. Brenda smiled. How did Janine know she would be tired and hungry? Just as Brenda was about to enter the kitchen she heard voices. Who the fuck? She went in and saw Janine sitting between some boy’s legs and was feeding him her steak! What the fuck is going on in here? Janine jumped up but the boy didn’t move. He just put another forkful of Brenda’s steak into his mouth. “Momma!” Janine cried. “You’re home early!” Bitch what the fuck is he doing in my house and eating my damn food?
