White boys aren’t the only ones consuming right wing red pill media, it’s a lot of black boys falling into the pipeline too and more parents should give a fuck about it

One of the TikTok creators I like liked my video about women using feminism as a sub for relationships lol

And to add ppl’s perception often plays a role in how we interpret things they say. If someone you don’t like says something that’s not necessarily wrong but you just don’t like them oft course it’s gonna be taken wrong .

Soulaan-Lee 🖤 @baldbeaute.bsky.social · 7h

A lot of the times we interpret things ppl say as what we THINK they mean and not what they are actually saying which is part of the problem with this whole AC situation.

If I said I I didn’t imagine my life like this bc I didn’t originally wnat to be a mom and sometimes feel sad about what I missed out on and yall took it as I hate my life then that’s kinda on you cuz that’s quite literally not what I said 😭😭

Soulaan-Lee 🖤 @baldbeaute.bsky.social · 7h

But I feel like that can be applied to anything. At what point does it become ppls responsibility to learn basic comprehension skills ians listen to understand nstead of telling ppl what they should and shouldn’t discuss on their platform ? (Not coming at you)

Himbo Slice @antisocialworker.bsky.social · 7h

I sincerely hate this topic, but I will say this:

If every time you make a public comment regarding your marriage it gets spun into a negative narrative perhaps you should consider not making public comments.

Podcasts and social media are not safe spaces

Soulaan-Lee 🖤 @baldbeaute.bsky.social · 8h

I’m a little confuse on this idea that being in an “good” relationship means that you can grieve the things you gave up ? Do yall think that doesn’t apply to rich basketball
Wives ?

Soulaan-Lee 🖤 @baldbeaute.bsky.social · 7h

Yeah I agree. I don’t think it’s resentment angle ppl are taking it as so much just dealing with not living the life she wanted. Which most ppl can relate to on some sort of level .

Gemini In The Sky @geminikohai.bsky.social · 7h

I take your point. Couldn't really think of anything where there wouldn't be pressure and circumstances that could cause more problems

And if she were the type of person that didn't care about that type of stuff she probably would have just left a while ago and not said anything to be dissected lol

Soulaan-Lee 🖤 @baldbeaute.bsky.social · 8h

I mean considering she didn’t want kids , she can’t undo that . That’s not something money can solve . She’s also not responsible for ppl’s interpretations of her feelings . It seems ppl are taking it as such bc they dislike her as a person . Let this had been a TikTok lady probs diff reactions.

Journalists used to care about accuracy. Now, the rush to “break the story first” has replaced fact-checking with reckless disregard for truth, especially considering who’s in office, The Kyren Lacy situation shows how modern media is fueling misinformation and propaganda & not fighting against it.

I also don’t think u can really speak on how someone feels about having children knowing they didn’t want to be a mom unless you been through it , and even then navigating that isn’t one size fits all

Soulaan-Lee 🖤 @baldbeaute.bsky.social · 8h

Like remember how shocked when the founder of Kate spade unalived herself bc she appeared to have it all? I’m not sayin Ayesha curry is suicidal but appearances are not everything . If ppl can remove their personal opinions about her and actually listen to what she saying maybe they’ll empathize

A lot ppl who unalived themselves “appeared” to be happy.

Also public appearances aren’t everything. Ex, everyone thought Cassie and Diddy were happy for years 🤷🏽‍♀️

I get ppl may not like Ayesha curry but that doesn’t invalidate how she feels 😭😭😭

Soulaan-Lee 🖤 @baldbeaute.bsky.social · 8h

Like I don’t have to like her to get what she’s saying . That’s actually something that can cause ppl to go into depression. And def doesn’t help with bunch people ppl saying “your husband loves u shut up about your feelings” essentially.
