White men love giving issues “some thought” and then telling everyone else who’s been there for years and built their lives around it that they’re doing it wrong

@gothamgirlblue Yes, in my experience this is true. Paternalist thinking is common among whites and trained into the boys. It's much less so in black families I've known and when I lived in Central America.
In Central America it switches depending on where you are. When out in public the male takes a dominant role. But as soon as you step inside the house. The women call the shots and the men sit down and shut up. Hahaha. Major decisions are mostly made by the women in the family.
