Y'all believe that fathers should be willing to burn the world for their daughters but believe mothers should burn their sons for the world. Narcissistic nonsense.
Boy mom discourse is born from women thinking mothers owe more solidarity to other women than their own sons. Girl dad is a compliment while boy mom is an insult.

This woman’s husband did #EPWP jobs with mogul @collenmashawane’s foundation. It failed to pay workers, ‘forged’ their signatures, and pocketed millions from the #IDT. The family no longer has cash for gas so she cooks outside. @dailymaverick IDT series (photo Felix Dlangamandla)

📺When We Were Black (2006)
A seminal moment in South African television.
Emerging in the early years of post-apartheid broadcasting, the series reopened the psychic and political wounds of black life under apartheid, using the intimacy of television to re-stage a national trauma.
This scene captures the essence of what the show set out to do to make visible the quiet violences of apartheid that lived in the body, the home, the street.
It’s not an act of physical brutality that shocks us here, but the psychic one the destruction of dignity, the forced performance of inferiority, the way the state choreographed humiliation as a means of control.
To me the humiliation of Fisto’s father becomes a meditation on Black masculinity. Under apartheid, manhood was systematically stripped of authority and autonomy.
In this scene, the father’s forced “dance” becomes a metaphor for survival under surveillance how Black men had to contort themselves to stay alive, even as they lost face in front of their children. Yet in showing that collapse, the series dignifies it naming the pain that shaped generations of fathers and sons.
Nearly twenty years later, the scene still lands like a gut punch.
