My opinions are based on the show, yet you're applying real life into it, so yes, you're in your feelings.

I'm sticking to the sexist views based on this show. You literally give Ghost a pass but double down on the female. The writer even told you Tasha has actual feelings for Silver. Nope! She a ho. You're picking and choosing. Both Tasha and Ghost are sluts. Period. A ho is a ho. There is no gray area.

I originally said she is on Ghost level. Its common sense what that means.

But either way its a TV show. Entertainment that is chosen to watch.

I just don't get it.

I can flat out say Tashara was/is wrong. I can give her excuses too but at the end of the day she is wrong.

Why is it so hard for some male posters to be fair?

I don't give a fuq about Ghost loving Angela. He is married. So the same way we all acknowledge Tasha being a ho is the same way we should acknowledge it for Ghost. If you choose not to you are being sexist.


Nah.

It's not the same for men and women in this world. It's not the same when it comes to men hitting women vs. women hitting men. It's not the same when it comes to a woman not having money vs. a man not having money. It's not the same when a man cries vs. when a woman cries.

There are gender specific roles, and gender specific attributes, and it's not the same when a woman sleeps with other men vs. men sleeping with other women lol... #dontdebateme

Tasha out here sloppy with it.


this is why, because it ISNT the same thing....

Now, we never going to see eye to eye because in your world a woman is supposed to simply deal with a man running around and stick it out. Fuq all that. If you cheat, I can cheat too and I want it to hurt you. Why? You hurt me abd since we aren't calling you a slut for being exactly that then I don't get called ine either.

Step the hell into 2017. Men better catch up or relationships really will be a thing of the past. Woman today are not putting up with the same **** their mothers and grandmothers did. Not happening.

Insecure is overrated to me cause its one the few Black shows on TV. I been **** with Issa Rae since Akward Black Girl which is like five years ago,which I think is actually better than this overall. The writing started out good on insecure, but it got kinda suspect to me towards the end of season one. Even my girl stopped watching it and she likes Issa Rae. I also I got tired of all the Gay Shots in Insecure. We really dont have to see this Negro Ass Cheeks all the time, and tight ass underwear, You can tell they did this for women, but forgot Men was watching it to. I had High Hopes for it, but it does nothing for me after season one. Once I found out there is like 10+ writers for the show , it made sense why I felt it was watery a little, she does not have her full stamp on it like ABG. I may check out season 2 when its finished.

Thats whaT i dont like. You can tell to many cooks are in the pot, and to many are throwing they own spin on the story. I wish HBO would have let her have more of a grip on the show itself. she Prob took the Executive Producers bag and gave up alot of the writing, which I think is her strong point. I am pretty sure it may be a different story in some places and be better.


This is not even all the writers. I remember her saying it was over 10+ and thats a whole lot for a 30 min show. I saw a pic online like a year ago with the full amount. can't remember what article I saw it in.

Great.....it's sexist, u have been saying this for 20 pages, nobody is saying it's rite to cheat wether ur a man or woman but if u think that Tasha=ghost then u are absolutely off ur damn rocker. If a single man sleeps with 10 women he won't be called a hoe, that man won't have difficulty finding a wife, but if u switch the roles and a woman does the same thing she will struggle, it's just the how it is. Nobody is advocating cheating, just saying it isn't the same thing for a man to sleep around and a woman.

Hence why I said step into 2017.
Do you really think females haven't started viewing dudes in the same way men view women in terms of sex? Newsflash, we do.

I don't know how old you are but younger females are no longer with the bull. You don't get to sleep around and call yourself a man. You're a ho and slut. You're not cuff/husband material. You will be treated just like the ho you actually are.

That old school mentality is gone. Only old dudes and dudes that are used to shiting on females with no clap back hold these out dated views because it suits their behavior.

And yes, ho men do in fact have a problem finding a wife. Go find a slut to match you. If your penis is for everybody then go be with everybody. No young female that has anything going for her is settling for a slut husband that everybody has been with. Broke females that need financial security might do it. Females that are wealthy looking for a dude to match their purse may do it(they obviously think they can change a slut) So unless you're rich, being a slur gets no pass. Step into 2017. Many females live under the same rule you do...

You can't turn a hoe into a husband. He's a hoe and will stay a hoe.

Newer married couples have BOTH partners working. There are more educated women out there that make plenty of money to live without you. Why would they settle for a slut? Makes no sense. Dudes get cut off really quick in today's world. This isn't mommy staying with cheating ass daddy for the kids. Those days are coming to an end.

I don't buy any of what you're saying sorry.....I just keep repeating the same sexist rant over and over trying to convince everyone, a man who's slept with 10 women is much more likely to find a woman than vice versa STILL in 2017

There are men in here telling you women are changing. Don't believe me though. In today's world you have many more females that are self sufficient than you had 30 years ago. Times are changing. Expectations of men and women in relationships are changing. That's what I'm saying.

For instance, you have men that will refuse to date a female that's broke. You heard that right. Being broke as a female is different from what it used to be.

30 years ago I would agree with you. Not today.

Don't even know what's the debate about. It's sexist. As a guy we just gotta admit it is what it is and move on. Typically men don't like to be called out on their ****. We quick to count how many men a woman has been with to gauge if she's "wifey material" but don't consider she may also want our hofax. You got guys like future spreading his seed all over like the dog he is but Ciara is a ho... We gotta stop the bull. Lol

Females clown chicks for messing with known community penis. That wasn't a thing back in the day. In college, we had an entire slut book...on dudes. Some guy saw it, got mad and went to the dean. Meanwhile the guys had a book going around too. The mentality of females in today's world has changed. It's a good conversation to have socially.

We all know Power isn't realistic and at times makes absolutely no sense but it has raised social debate.

Insecure does the same...and yes, some females really act like that. Interesting show. Last episode was a hoot. Lawrence is going to be too late I think. Issa and that other guy is going to end up in a real relationship.

I'm one of the younger dudes on these boards but I will add that social media has become the new little book.

It's so easy to catch a rep because everyone know who you are & who you be ****ing through social media.

Any girl with over 1,500 followers on the gram normally a thot. Same with a dude.

The mentality definitely did change & because of that dating is completely different then it was years ago. Half my body count is one night stands and that's just how it be.

Greenie, everything you're saying existed decades ago. Skeezers were looked bad upon by both males and females back in the day...nothing new.

Has mentality change? sure. But everything happening then, happens now, and vice versa, and this can be spoken on based on experience.

I consider myself to be a good looking guy, tall, well-built etc and married, successful business and career with a really great family. Even with that, women still come my way, just like they did when I was in my 20's, and to be honest they come out more now because I am married. Once again, that has never changed.

Nothing really has changed. People from both genders talk more, the actions are the same. That's the only difference. There are more platforms to talk due to social media, but the actions are still the same.

Dating is mad different though fam. Most people got 30-40 people thirsting for them over social media or in the DM's so your options are so much greater thus you're less applicable to settle down.
