; My Parents Seriously Seem To Act Like It's A Flex They Grew Up Poor And Went Hungry Most Nights. Like,

; my parents seriously seem to act like it's a flex they grew up poor and went hungry most nights. Like, I am truly sorry for them but they've turned their past into a weapon to ruin my future ykwim ?? I get it, you had a hard and abusive childhood. Sorry that I'm not working three jobs ?? And starving ?? Would you like me to js, purposefully make myself suffer or smth .. It's so weird to me, like- the concept of " be grateful cuz I had it absolutely horrible and you're not suffering so !! Work harder !! Suffer !! " yk ?? Especially since neither of them care about " little " issues like low self esteem, feelings uncomfortable in certain clothes, etc, because they didn't have the privilege to worry about stuff like that !! :']

"when i was your age, i was working three jobs to help support my family" and "when i was in college i was sleeping on a mattress on the floor and living off of soup"

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO DO THAT. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO DO THAT. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN TO YOU THAT THIS ISN'T A CHARACTER-BUILDING LESSON, IT'S JUST BAD

; if this is the case, what other term could be used by white / non-black people who previously used wlw ?? And does this go for mlm and nblw / nblm / nblnb or is it js wlw !?? /genq

i have a question for black lesbians!

hi!! i saw a post recently that said that the term ‘wlw’ is actually AAVE and should really only be used by black lesbians. as a non-black lesbian who uses wlw, i want to know if i should stop using this term and i don’t want to just rely on some internet searches so i’m here asking you! what are your thoughts on this? thanks!

if you’re not a black lesbian please feel free to reblog this but do not reply! i’d like to only hear from black lesbians!
