str8nochaser replied to your post: Do people really put yogurt in their pussies?Wut

Yes. Plain (and it must be PLAIN) yogurt with live active Lactobacillus cultures is actually a natural cure for yeast infections. Lactobacillus is the bacteria that lives in healthy vaginas and keeps them happy by keeping Candida species in check

!!!

My mother taught me to do this long before I ever knew about anti-fungal medications. She also taught me about garlic and apple cider vinegar. Its better because

1. its natural and just restores balance.  A YI is simply an imbalance of your vaginal flora. The term “infection” is a misnomer, because candida (yeast) naturally live in the vagina. However, the lactobacillus is the dominant bacteria that keeps the vagina healthy and CLEAN. When there is an imbalance and the natural lactobacillus population starts to die off, it give the yeast a chance to proliferate, causing an “infection”. Things like birth control, antibiotics, stress, lubricants, spermicide, soap and even sex with a new partner can throw you off balance. 

2. Fungicides have harsh side effects and over time, the yeast can mutate to become resistant to them. Remember when Diflucan (fluconazole) used to be the one-pill solution to a yeast infection? Most doctors now prescribe up to a weeks worth, because its effectiveness is waning. Thus they must prescribe more broad spectrum fungicides. They can destroy your liver.

In defense of Black women dating thugs

TW: Rape/Abuse 

I was originally going to try to dissect something entirely different, but during my rant to myself I came to a new realization for me. I’ll bench my expectations of Black male masculinity post for this, but they are tangentially related.

Amidst a lot of whining and discussion about the ideal Black male, the accusation that Black women only want to date thugs always, always comes up. This usually comes from emasculated “beta” men/Nice Guys (TM) who are essentially complaining that no one wants to date their boring/lack of any decent quality asses. Through all of not-so-manly tears there lies some truth however. I’m going to use a pretty liberal use of thug. Instead of just meaning *insert characters from The Wire here*, I’m pretty much just going to extend it to mean assertive, dominant, and protective men. The title is catchier with thugs and I feel that definition I’m using still incorporates a large amount of real thugs.

When you delve into the Black women think tank online or in real life, invariably there will be discussions on the ideal man. Obviously, women being people of thousands of different tastes and life experiences they will individually vary extensively. However, en masse the general consensus usually rounds out to (Black) men who are assertive, dominant, and protective. This usually (always?) gets misconstrued by Black men who peak into the discussion that Black women only want to date thugs. Granted, in popular culture and myth the ideal Black man is usually some variation of The Wire character Stringer Bell who embodies the aforementioned top characteristics and several more like domineering and respected/feared to other men around him.

Ignoring the fact that all or most Black women don’t want date “Do Dirt Niggas”, I just had the epiphany that it’s completely fucking rational for Black women to want a Stringer Bell in their life. When it comes to the day-to-day lives of far too many Black women living in America; they face an inordinate amount of harassment, violence, and sexual assault just for having the unmitigated gaw to exist on the planet. If you’re a woman who has to face the very real threat of violence and rape without the idea that any bystander would ever think of helping you if you were being hurt then I do not see why would not want to date a thug. If people are legitimately making threats to you regardless of were you are, I feel it’s perfectly reasonable to want to be with a man who can and would handle the situation if need be.

If you’re living in constant, and make no mistake as a Black woman it is constant, state of danger when you’re choosing a partner certain things like kind, sweet, a listener, etc. will most likely rank lower to you in importance where survival is your chief priority and goal in the world. I remember watching an episode of The Tyra Show about body acceptance. There was this big brawly Latino dude on the show that was constantly obsessed with being in shape. The reason why is because he wanted to appear like he had the ability to protect whatever woman he was dating at the time because when he was this sweet scrawny kid him and his girlfriend were just walking around the street one day when they were jumped by a bunch of dudes in a gang. After they beat the shit out of him they made him watch as they gang raped his girlfriend. It was told from the guy’s perspective, so I do not know how the woman’s dating choices have evolved after that happened. I do not think it would be out of bounds to believe that she probably places the idea or look of a man who could protect her very highly now. I know personally know/have known a good handful of women in life who have stayed with even abusive thug ass niggas because where they were living it was safer to only have to worry about 1 man hitting you than almost any and every other dude in the neighborhood.

So, when I sit back on that I can’t help but think why wouldn’t a Black woman (or Latina going by the Tyra Show reference) a dude who was about that type of life or at least gives off the presence that he could handle himself in that type of life.

Very interesting and poignant and going by your definition of ‘thug’ that is something (subconsciously) I definitely take into account. Someone who can protect me from harassment because I do look out for that, and someone who will stand up to those spurting off things at me. Speaking to other WOC in the past, well from the place I’m from, many have shared similar sentiments. Also, I think you have to take into account the times many have gone out with white men and they haven’t defended them from racist attacks. In my experience, and talking to others, it mainly seems to be how unaware they are of when their friends and strangers have said outright racist BS. So as well as physical protection, a verbal one also comes int account, or at least a feeling that your partner can intimidate those who try and tear you down. That is just my opinion on it and using your definition. But I definitely think these points are relevant and it’d be interesting to see other responses. I never even thought how much I do look for someone who can ‘handle themselves’…if that makes sense? Especially when it comes to you both living in predominantly homogeneous European society.

interesting analysis,

and honestly this is why white feminism misses the mark w black women,

we happen to be alot more vulnerable to all sorts of aggression,

so for us the whole manly man, chivalrous, protector bit, is actually SURVIVAL. not just niceties.

and ima be honest, the fact so many people mess w my personal space so often, makes it so i do not have any interest in being w a man who is “soft” w it comes to defense and offense. i certainly am not. if im the brave one of the two, this cant work. if i cannot count on support, what is you here for? i can just be alone. same shit. no me fucking importa.

im quiet as fuck but im not afraid of confrontation. if you are, we cannot roll.

i had more than one occasion where people im w actually sided w blatantly offensive, racist, and other shit that people did to me. in the name of “peace”.

if your idea of “peace” always has positioned me as the silent victim and target practice, who is not worthy of defense, who must always sacrifice to make aggressors “comfy”…..you are no friend or lover of mine.

so maybe its not a thug. but def someone w a motherfucking backbone. coz we NEED it. 

(either way, i hate feeling like i have to lead. i dont want to. i just dont wanna be lead either. :/)

^^^^ ALL OF THIS!

^^^^

After experiencing several different anti-black ( My ex was PR) situations from his own family and from people like his own friends, to his online community. And not defending me, I can say when I get ready to start dating, I want someone to have my back indefinitely.

I know my personal is always crossed almost daily, if it’s not men trying to touch me, or talk to me like i’m so fucking child. It’s the fact that they stare at me, HARD it becomes uncomfortable. Nerve recking. Men at work will say things like ” you came to work pretty for me today?” Who the fuck thinks like that. I put on my uniform and came the fuck to work. I want someone beisdes myself to stand besides me. Not chill in the corner.

My ex didn’t stand besides me, his excuse was ” Well you’ll tell them off before I do”

There were several times we were walking hand in hand and dudes STILL would talk to me. Had an instance where one guy grabbed my arm and yanked me over to him. Did my ex say anything know? No.

Several instances with the anti-black undertones, I was told I was sensitive, overreacting, or rather he just had tough skin. I kid you not.

So I don’t think it’s just about physical looks with the “thug” mentality by that definition I just want someone to stand beside me. Not berate me in my beliefs.

I just want a nigga that’ll be with me for me and all of me. That’s it damn son.
