#Art 142/365 @nanowrimo #Day 5 @wetransfer 👩🏾‍🎨🎨 The “Good Pussy” Performance Patriarchy dictates Women Pour ALL of your monies and energies Into LOOKING good enough To attract men Society does not emphasize that women work on our character In interpersonal politics That’s why women are losing the GENDER WAR (and most of us don’t even know it....but we FEEL it...before stuffing it down) Be Flashy and Flamboyant In your Femininity Without Overtly Asking For His Attention and Love ‘Lest she be labeled “NEEDY B*TCH” Then we label women Tricksters and Slicksters When they reject Men below their lenient standards BUT ladies, you must be subtle ‘Lest the menfolk Label her an “attention whore” We say, “She was asking for it...” I Say: THE STATUS QUO IS NOT SET UP FOR WOMEN TO WIN GOOD PUSSY—IT IS TIME TO BREAK AND BEND SOME RULES When the Genders War, We ALL LOSE https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq9mmWEljjC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10i95bjhipygq

Art 141/365 @nanowrimo #Day 4 @wetransfer “Good Pussy” is a feminine performance In the American Patriarchy Social system of dating & mating MEN MILK WOMEN FOR OUR EMOTIONAL LABOR They expect attention, politeness, and accommodations FOR FREE THEY DEMAND AN UNLIMITED SUPPLY Of positive attitude In the dating patriarchy A woman is not allowed to have a bad day Or a mental-emotional breakdown She must always be sexually available and performing happiness For subpar treatment WHILE CONSTANTLY TELLING WOMEN “YOU ARE TOO EMOTIONAL” It is a manipulative tactic To constantly expect someone to contain their self-expressions, while also forcing them to labor with the same THAT IS NOT LOVE, THAT IS SLAVERY 👩🏾‍🎨🎨 Women are taught that in order to be seen by society and men as desirable, “marriage material” and “good women” that we must have or cultivate “good pussy” https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq9cJiFlOnV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=90y8kt3z0fai

#GenderBias #Mood : What @leaninorg has not told us yet, is that when you’re a (Black) Woman, and you “LEAN IN” (a certain way) you should probably expect some MAJOR PUSH BACK/RESISTANCE from the status quo....to the point of being BLACKBALLED, dismissed from school or fired from your job.....IT HAPPENS AND THEN WE WONDER WHY MORE WOMEN HESITATE TO SPEAK UP 🤷🏾‍♀️ When your work/professional group + “Friends and family” aren’t happy for your success—AND YOU CANT HELP BUT WONDER: WHY AREN’T THESE PEOPLE CHEERING FOR ME? WHY DO I FEEL THAT IF I WERE A MAN, I WOULD HAVE MORE SUPPORT...just for being mediocre? 🖤💎 The quality of her past life was miserable because the people hanging around her, didn’t really love or even like her....After losing over 25+ connections DUE TO #METOO & FEMINIST drama, this was the moment She realized those people were not truly about her best living experience and well being....She is much lighter and happier without people in her life, posing as friends, who lie, backstab, secretly plot against her, undermine her, constantly question her decisions, choices, preferences, career/educational path, her romantic dealings, her decision in 2016 to run for US Congress, pole dancing, speaking publicly about how sugar baby was the ONLY OPTION for her to start getting her needs met in dating. Now, these people/situations are materials for a novel.....Good Luck ✌🏾 #Art 132/365 @wetransfer @nanowrimo https://www.instagram.com/p/BqMnm64lmRA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z0dm9vmnq9yq

Cheers to #SelfLove: 💕compensating for every relationship where the person acted as if I was not good enough to love. When you encounter someone questioning your worthiness for love, wish them well and WALTZ away in the opposite direction--towards #compassion, #respect, self-#esteem, and loving #God in yourself. 👸🏾🥇❤️🍀✌🏾 "All I can tell you really, is if you get to the point where someone is telling you that you are not great or not good enough, just follow your heart and don’t let anybody crush your dream.” – Patti Labelle “Never be limited by other people’s limited imaginations.”

#MeToo Domestic Violence is a #Crises #Epidemic in the 🇺🇸 & the 🌎. After October is over millions of survivors still carry the nightmares and painful memories of rape, assault, incest, dating violence, abuse with us. When we stand together in solidarity and share our stories we take the first step to heal! Violence and Hate against Women & (Feminine identifying people) is a problem. We have to have courage to call out the #Patriarchy and the current President Rapist-in-Chief. Together we can all do better ! #Halloween 👻 🎃 #scareycat #Nightmares #nationaldomesticviolenceawarenessmonth #NoMore #Art #ArtTherapy #Cartoons

#MeToo #Domesticviolence and #DatingAbuse left me as a shell of my former self. After being sexually assaulted (by a bi-sexual woman//in front of an ex-boyfriend) I was MUTE for a few months. --- Unable to talk I returned back to my artistic talents...it worked....I'm talking again and telling my story to help others #NoMore #nationaldomesticviolenceawarenessmonth #FierceFeminine #Art #ArtTherapy #Draw #Talented #Gifted #Creative #Courage #cantkeepagoodgirldown
