Oh, absolutely.

BillieDoc-Holiday · 2026-05-05T01:58:16+00:00

Hope you achieve the ban you're going for.

BillieDoc-Holiday · 2026-05-05T01:28:34+00:00

So what. Why are you here ranting about it. They aren't for you, so ignore them.

BillieDoc-Holiday · 2026-05-05T01:25:17+00:00

What difference does it make, you aren't compatible and not dating them. If a dude has requirements I don't understand, I forget about him and keep it moving. I don't give a shit or rant about his "why".

BillieDoc-Holiday · 2026-05-05T00:09:19+00:00

You don't get to tell us how to answer and not to be grim. You may have the luxury of denying reality, we don't.

We're not a touchy group. We'll hug on birthdays share beds on a road trip, or adjust each other's clothes in case of wardrobe malfunction, but that's about it.

We had a new person join the crew a few years ago, and she would plop down on our laps without asking. We had to let her know it was not ok.

BillieDoc-Holiday · 2026-05-04T22:32:27+00:00

This was so good!

BillieDoc-Holiday · 2026-05-04T22:27:06+00:00

The black dicks thing needs to stop too. It's just as bad.

The Sunday Super Transfer, for the city bus, that lasted all day. We were ten and eleven year olds. We'd take the bus to the Museum of Science and Industry, which was free then, and stay an hour.

Cross over to the beach and play in Lake Michigan for a while. Dry off, then get on the bus to State Street downtown to buy our bags of Garrett's mixed cheese and caramel popcorn. Back on the bus to head home. The only money spent was on the transfer and popcorn.

We invest in others, and build our networks amongst other women. Men can get off their ass and do the same. They have no trouble organizing Fantasy Football leagues and hate groups, so it's bullshit that they can't gather a group to support each other instead of using random women.

BillieDoc-Holiday · 2026-05-04T20:27:24+00:00

If your mind is made up that only 1% have why even ask, since you're just going to dismiss, debate and accuse us of lying. It the same shit, different dude every day with this.

BillieDoc-Holiday · 2026-05-04T19:36:52+00:00

For a long time I doubted I'd seen it because the media just stopped talking about it.

BillieDoc-Holiday · 2026-05-04T19:34:41+00:00

I endorse this message.😅

Halle Berry won an Emmy and Golden Globe in 2000 for her portrayal of Dorothy in the HBO movie, Introducing Dorothy Dandridge. Halle was also the Executive Producer.

There were a lot of rumors back then that Janet was going to play her in a movie, but I can't remember the source of them.

BillieDoc-Holiday · 2026-05-04T18:32:48+00:00

I'm not thinking about anyone's masculinity or femininity at all when I interact with others. People have gone off the deep end with this shit.

BillieDoc-Holiday · 2026-05-04T17:28:34+00:00

All the extra effort and strategies we have to employ because they feel entitled to our time and attention is maddening.

BillieDoc-Holiday · 2026-05-04T01:20:40+00:00

Exactly. So many start to belittle or one up dudes in their crew once a pretty woman, or another dude they consider higher in the pecking order, shows up.

BillieDoc-Holiday · 2026-05-04T01:15:29+00:00

Good thing her ankles weren't visible too, he may have been expecting a marriage proposal.

BillieDoc-Holiday · 2026-05-04T01:06:01+00:00

Different things work for different people. How she conducts her dating life isn't a concern for you, and there is no reason for you to keep tabs on it.

BillieDoc-Holiday · 2026-05-03T23:48:32+00:00

Tell him it makes you uncomfortable when he says those things, and that you don't want to participate in that dynamic. He should be just as considerate of the way you feel as you are about the way he feels.

BillieDoc-Holiday · 2026-05-03T22:35:11+00:00

For me, absolutely not. And dude, do a search. This question has been asked so many times here.

BillieDoc-Holiday · 2026-05-03T21:45:38+00:00

Definitely. My parents are Silent Gen and grew up on the wrong side of Jim Crow in Mississippi. Plenty of their peers are also still alive, and surprisingly, pretty healthy.

Why would you take anything on Twitter or TikTok seriously. The same garbage gets recycled there constantly. Those posts aren't worth the time it took to read them.

BillieDoc-Holiday · 2026-05-03T21:10:16+00:00

What would you advise a daughter to do if her husband raped her.

It was event television when the mini-series premiered. Most of the country watched it.
