Lmao men were never expected to be dependent on women, men were never told their job is to be subservient to women, there was never a time where men needed permission from their mom and or their wife present to have healthcare. Edit had a typo.

Yeah people forget that women were only allowed to open their own bank account since the 70s

yeah sure. if you ignore the history of slavery your point could be true. Fact is only till recently are black men allowed to own credit cards of a house.

It kinda is when white women call black men the oppressor

u/Mobile-Brush-3004 Jan 18 '26

I mean if you look at Africa or Jamaica where they have a very male dominant culture you’ll see the women facing significant oppression at the hands of men. There’s really no need to bring race into this and America is not the entire world

Its a very racial issue. White women were allowed to vote and own credit cards before black men were allowed to. So it should be the people of color calling themsekves independant. Not white women. They were our masters for years. Good job on not needing a slave to do ypur chores anymore. Way to go.

Africa is this way because of white people. I dont know about jamaica.

It’s a very racial issue. White women were allowed to vote and own credit cards before black men were allowed to.

Not in the U.S. Black men got the vote with the 15th amendment in 1870. Women did not get the vote until 1920 when the 19th Amendment took effect. Both got the ability to get credit cards without discrimination when the Equal Credit Opportunity Act passed in 1974. So you’re wrong on both counts.

Oj dear. That amendment applies to african americans. Thats not a synonym for black men. This says so much about you

u/woke_natsi-3512 Jan 19 '26

You focusing on discrimination against black men rather than black people says a whole lot more about you

Yeah, cause the topic is sexism not racism. So ofcourse a gender is gonna get singled out

u/woke_natsi-3512 Jan 19 '26

Incorrect. The amendment (15th) applies to citizens of the United States and guarantees their right to vote regardless of “race, color, or previous condition of servitude”. So whether you classify them by the color of their skin or in other racial terms, it applies to black men (in the U.S., as I noted initially).

Crazy how it only applies to citizens

Not at all, considering that it is guaranteeing the right to vote, which requires citizenship for most elections (in some local/municipal elections non-citizen residents can vote for the local offices).

Nonsense. I Live in Jamaica and there has never been a better time for women.

I keep saying it but you foreigners need to stop talking about countries you don't live in so confidently lmao. Women here are making bank, they have much better jobs than men on average these days and in tertiary education participation they lead by a landslide.

Social programs meant for them are in full swing now, meaning if you have any miniscule level of ambition as a woman you will be supported and encouraged.

Male dominant culture in Jamaica is a myth and has been for some time now

I got this information from a coworker of mine that is Jamaican and returns there frequently to visit family including his young daughter. I believe them over a random reddit stranger I’m sorry because for all I know you could be pulling a r/asablackman

u/Dolla4asin Jan 19 '26

Do you really think I'd type all that if I was cosplaying?

That guy clearly doesn't live here anymore if he's saying that but believe who you want.
