So I’m surfing a forum for black people to chat and I run across this discussion.
The following comment jumped out at me and I just had to share it….

Could it be that Black Women mistake education and strength with femininity? I think so. I am not saying that education, ambition and strength are not important for black women to have/obtain.
Femininity, in my opinion is much more than that, it is the way you talk and respond to people, it is the way you carry yourself, it is the way that you take care of yourself etc. And when I said that we as BW could learn something from other races, I was specifically talking about a comment I read somewhere where a BM (BlackMan) or BW (BlackWoman) said that we could learn from White women about how they make staying in shape a priority, or we can learn from Latino women who are very loyal and loving to their men, and that we can learn from Asian women who are very family oriented.
Granted there are some women who have it together and don't need to learn anything about being feminine but for those who do why not stop being defensive, put away the attitude and humble yourself enough to admit that you don’t have all of the answers and that you can learn from other women. I wanted a happy marriage so I did not listen to my single girlfriends or some angry/bitter/rude poster that I encountered over the internet; I went to a woman who had been happily married for thirty years.
Just my opinion; GOD IS LOVE
