The stereotype
I think it comes from the wrong kind of information being shared or a wrong set of morals being shared amongst a large group of people and growing up to believing that its true and there’s no other way.

"A pre relevant stereotype is that all women are hoes.
Even amongst women ourselves you know, there’s this whole stereotype that a woman has to be the ‘baddest bitch’, if a chick aint crazy she doesn’t like you, light skinned girls are better. All of this steamed from those old teachings. We embody these stereotypes as much as we try to fight them."

"I wont even lie, its made me very insecure. Ive lost my potential and this is something I know for sure. These stereotypes break us down as woman. My parents have dictated most of my life, this has made it difficult for me to just be me. It makes me think twice about a lot of things I do."

"All I know is that its going to take a very long time. Long after we’ve gone. Since mankind has started till 2015 and no woman is free from a mans mental grip."
