You got to do this thing.īut men tend to be manipulated through pride. And this was, this was stuff that was told to me when I was a kid, that when I was dating, they were like, hey man, you got to have game. Because the whole game was that you keep the girl or woman off balance so that she never knows whether you like her or not. You know, where they would either be physical, or they would manipulate through mental means where it’s like, hey, you know, they were looking at a girl or whatever and tell her, their date or their wife and tell her that she wasn’t pretty enough or she wasn’t, that she wasn’t going to be around much longer, or they would flirt and make her feel very, very insecure. And he would basically manipulate her through fear.Īnd I knew that guys would work games like that. My father using fear to intimidate my mother.

When I was coming up, the whole thing, if you were, you know, there were, I came up in the crack epidemic where, you know, there were pimps and people who were basically treating women as property and their whole thing was the fear, was to intimidate. Like, you know, women tend to be manipulated through fear. One thing I noticed coming up in the hood, it was kind of wild because everyone uses their thing to manipulate people. This is how it was for me coming up in Flint, Michigan.Īnd this is funny because people say, you know, toxic masculinity, I mean don’t women do things wrong too and the whole thing, but you got to understand, men and women are very, very different. I learned simply because I was a man or he was a man, or the people around me who were men, they were more valuable than women. For me, it was, hey, this man, the strongest man I’ve ever seen, this guy, he uses his power to abuse my mother. And you know, through trauma, you learn your lessons. My father punching my mother in the face as hard as he could.
One of my earliest memories was, my father, I probably was like four or five years old. Flint, Michigan was a very depressed area and I also came up in a very, very violent household. You know, I came up from Flint, Michigan. Another way I like to put it is basically abusers of power. Everybody’s been talking about it, you know. How many of you guys have heard all that, the phrase toxic masculinity? It has been used a lot. I only have 10 minutes, so I’m going to be really, really short. I love the future.įirst of all, I am here to basically talk about a couple of things. How you doing? Ah, look at all these people! Man, the future is here. Man, I got only a little bit of time, so I’m going to get into it real fast.
