    Many ww, especially after a certain age, seem always to know what is best for a black man. For some reason, they feel they have to protect bm from the evil (white) world.

    But black men, imho, are first of all men who can think for themselves and do not need prescription of any lady, white or else, to determine their course. These prescriptions are mostly combined with a no go message, don't do this or that. As if you are a child, not a man.

    I call it the matriarch problem or the mommy complex. Never let anyone tell you what to do or where to go. Decide for yourself. Stay men.

    I have no idea what you're talking about. Unless you're talking about women telling me what to do in general. I never let anyone tell me what to do.

    I am talking about a group of women after a certain age that are more in love with being in control than anything else. A power issue. Probably has to do with increase of testosteron.

    This does not include your girlfriend telling you to do some work in the kitchen. You need to obey that ;)

    man in control

    Well I can't speak for the other women, but I prefer that my man be in control. I don't won't to control a man, or tell him what to do. (No matriarch here!)

    Re: man in control

    Most of them are not. But I am sure you know the type, the dominant mommies that want to control everyone. Some transfer this thought to their men and treat them like children.

    Especially when they tell them who to screw and who not. Excusez moi, f*cking is a man's job. Don't tell us what to do.

    It's not just WW who think like this. And not just a certain age, either.

    i never experienced that, always date someone who is my intellectual equal and emotionally stable so we dont have to do replacement behavior and codependcy with each other.

    Actually, i kinda have the opposite problem

    My husbands family consisted of the women being in control. We had some real problems in the beginning of the marraige because he had always been used to the women doing everything for him including: cleaning after him, cooking for him, serving him, basically just giving him what he wanted. I grew up with the men helping the women in cleaning, and cooking. So we kind of clashed. But as far as who's in control in our household...well that would be God first, Steve second, then me. Steve is the spiritual head of household over here. Thats the order God made.
