Because truthfully, we have to start elevating other black filmmakers. Otherwise we will never find the next Coogler. I’d want Juel Taylor the director of The Killed Tyrone
misogyny wrapped in glittery paper:
> beauty with brains
> motherhood is a blessing
> wife material
> girls mature faster
> woman's biological clock is ticking
What happened yesterday should tell y’all something: misogyny isn’t accidental; it is taught, rehearsed and defended. These guys are becoming trained bigots.
So keep your girl child’s advocacy going... Be the “bitter feminist” they call you! Its rewarding!
Stay bitter!!
Yesterday a man actually tweeted that men don’t care about the sexual life of boys. I believe it’s the same about this discourse. They’re only annoyed that the girl child is ahead. They don’t actually care about the plight of the boy child. All roads lead back to misogyny. 🫠
All of you could have contributed to this conversation by uplifting the boy child, shared ways in which men can start mentorship programs, ways in which men can find resources to educate the boy child. But no, just whining up and down about girl child. Tswww
The system is created for boys to succeed. Which is why they created avenues for girls to level the playing field. If boys are no longer succeeding - blaming the equitable opportunities girls are receiving as the reason boys are failing is nonsensical. It means something is happening with how boys are navigating a system already made for them; men still make more than women in the workplace, girls are still being preyed on and getting pregnant, girls are still being pipelined into nursing, and teaching and are fighting for STEM education - the statistics are there, lol. Do boys have male mentors? Do boys have third spaces in Ghana they feel safe in? What are men in Ghana doing to protect and support boys? Complaining that boys are being neglected isn't enough btw, what are you doing about it?
