Thank you Dulce for speaking about this toxic femininity
ReplyI’ve always felt “positive” stereotypes could be damaging. This reminded me of the Asian “Model Minority” myth. Let’s just not generalize.
ReplyThank you🙌👏🙌👏🙌
ReplyThe “Asians are smart” thing is very similar
ReplyLove this woman. Best guest on the show. Cant say much for the other guy unfortunately.
ReplyWhen I think Strong Black Woman, I think of every woman that has to deal with the bullshit of racism and sexism every fucking day. Having to deal with only one of those is exhausting, let alone both for your entire life. Every black woman deserves the automatic respect that they’ve earned through nonstop pain.
ReplyIt never occurred to me that dumbasses would actually assume that “strong black woman” only went as far as physically strong 🙄
Just call me! I will help you move baby!
ReplySo sad but so true.
Reply…and mike drop! Thanks Dulce for summarizing what it really T I ******* is❗✔💯💓

Thank you! I hate the “strong black woman” trope. I’m a fragile black woman and I deserve to be able to be that and have people treat me delicately and with care.
ReplyHi Dulce, thank you for shedding some light on this very important public health problem of overlooking black women’s health concerns. You’re the best.
ReplyTHANK YOU!!! I dont really understand how we as a culture twisted this meaningful idea.
ReplyLove it!
Reply…and people just assume it too. I was so annoyed when this blonde lady I work with called me a “strong black woman” after she had known me for less than a week. Like, how would she know if I was at that point? We barely saw each other during that first week and she was doing it to try to get me to take on a task that I wouldn’t want to do and was a part of her job and not mine.
ReplyIts kind of the same for white males we have to be seen as a strong sports loving heterosexual guy who doesn’t show emotion, and have a family by 30. Being skinny, over emotional about things and being asexual this idea or framework of a guy were standards I knew I would never reach. I don’t want to compare the issues black woman have with being a white male. But I can empathize with living with impossible standards leads to depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. There are times when being “weak” is a good thing in my opinion.
