do men have resting bitch faces as well or do they not have negative characteristics ascribed to them for putting on a neutral rather than a deliriously happy facial expression
Yes, Black men in majority white spaces do. If I don’t smile every single second of the day my coworkers become in intimidated and start asking me what’s wrong, telling me to smile, make jokes about how I’m trying to be a thug/act hard, why am I angry, etc. And it’s not just white men at my job God FORBID I my large Black ass makes a white girl feel threaten because I’m sitting down with a neutral expression.
I’m not trying to take this post away from women and make it about Black men but I want to point out that wether it’s patriarchy or white supremacy; those who feel as if they have power over you HATE to see you not smile. They are so used to people like you smiling to gain their approval that when you don’t there’s a cognitive dissonance that makes them extremely uncomfortable.
That’s why “angry Black women” is a thing. They have to put on a smile for everyone (yes even feminist white women) or we all get uncomfortable.
do y’all ever think about how guzman and nadia know each other so well to know that they both need to heal and build their futures alone before they can come back and build together. that they both know this isn’t the end, this isn’t even a goodbye, this is a see you soon. see you when I’ve achieved everything I’ve dreamt of and wanted, and been able to do not in spite of loving you, but because of it. guzman can’t help but be bold and LOUD in his love. he loves nadia out loud and while nadia may be reserved and hesitant in her love she hasn’t wavered. she loves him, and before it wasn’t enough, before she thought she would have to give up her world for him but she know’s that’s no longer the case. guzman doesn’t exist as a separate part anymore, he’s mixed into everything that matters to her. it’s compromise in its purest form. and that’s why she can tell guzman that she will come back for him because she knows now that they can grow alone and still build a life together and have the future they both deserve. a future together. and guzman knows she never makes promises she cant keep, because nadia has seen how easily small words can fall apart. this is an endgame delivered with honesty and depth, because we know now that whether its two years from now, or five, or ten, that guzman and nadia are it for each other. they know it, and now their whole world does too.
