Comments on: Ain’t I a Woman? (pt. I) http://yourblackfriend.com/aint-i-a-woman-pt-i the #1 web source for questions about Black people Sat, 04 Feb 2012 20:21:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Chandra Adams http://yourblackfriend.com/aint-i-a-woman-pt-i/comment-page-1#comment-13 Chandra Adams Sun, 20 Dec 2009 00:53:47 +0000 http://yourblackfriend.com/?p=234#comment-13 Yes we are women! Not only do we need to stop defining ourselves through the eyes of men, we need to throw down the gauntlet and decide what our womanhood means to us as individuals. I am not necessarily an advocate of going it alone when it comes down to raising children - that's a heck of a job and a woman needs support. But if marriage or keeping a long term partner is not for you, it's just not for you. It's okay, it doesn't make you less of a woman, and it definitely saves folks a lot of heartache in the long run. I agree that if you do want to be treated like a woman that you have to act like one. Take full responsibility for your body as a vessel of creation, not a playground. Love - true love radiates from within and extends outward to attract what it radiates. Women in this strange environment, black women need to focus primarily on getting our heads and hearts right and I do believe the rest will follow.

We control our own destiny, but the brainwashing that we have allowed for decades is very slow to wash off. We still believe that we are not worthy in some respects. When I say we, I mean as a collective. Keep sharing your knowledge and hopefully that will one day rub off on the lost. Nice read. WASET You are correct!
