I grew up watching my mother have fun in her 30s, traveling, looking good & having a full life. I watched sex and the city and watched women have their best life in their 30s. So I’ve never understood the notion that 30s seem to be the end for women. That’s when it gets good.
Male centered women are always so confused by the idea that other women simply do not care for men at all. Like our lives do not revolve around men nor wait for their partnership to enjoy life. You won’t travel, build, have a life, because you’re waiting for a man.. Girl bffr🫤🫤
I wonder if women aren’t targeted now because they have increasing incomes. We know they are targeted for sports cars where previously they weren’t. They are increasingly buying more houses than men. So their capacity to spend more than their gender is what advertisers are after?
one of the main reasons i'm so gentle with myself is cause i believe i've already experienced enough hardship in my life. i've already been mishandled and undervalued by others and myself at times. so i deserve more patience, forgiveness, and consideration at this point.
Wow 💔😦
I think this has genuinely left me speechless because you’re seeing the shift in real time. So many of our mothers, aunts, sisters and even grandmothers are consuming alcohol now when it wasn’t the case 20 years ago. Everything she said is factually true. Many black families always had a drunkard uncle or father but now there’s a drunkard aunt or mother as well.
You’d rarely see an alcohol brand using women as the primary focus of their marketing back in the day but over the years they’ve slowly incorporated them in their branding. Now we have entire beverages specifically targeted at women (Brutal Fruit, Ice Tropez, BNG, etc.). It’s also not a coincidence that black women are the primary focus. We live in a rainbow nation right? How come you don’t see many white, Indian or coloured women at the forefront of the marketing?
The black woman was the last line of defence in the black household and the white man has finally got his grip on her.
