Dear Bi Men

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
An unapologetic guide for readers who are Black, masc, and bi—unlearning biphobia, coming out, combatting erasure, and embodying your whole self Through cutting social analysis, personal stories, and need-to-know advice, Dear Bi Men reclaims bi+ visibility in a culture of erasure—and unapologetically centers Blackness in a practical and deeply researched guide to navigating life, work, and relationships as a Black bi+ man. Popular representation of bi and pansexual men is growing, but we’re not there yet: It’s mostly white. It collapses bisexual identity into tired, hypersexualized tropes. And it fails to interrogate the deeply entrenched stereotypes that insist: You’re confused. You just don’t know you’re gay. You’re greedy. You must be great in bed. Author, peer counselor, and creator of #bisexualmenspeak J.R. Yussuf pushes back against these stigmas and misconceptions, exploring how white supremacy reinforces biphobia and dictates what society thinks it means to “be a man.” He contextualizes discourse around queerness and bisexuality within a larger framework that honors readers’ intersecting identities. And he offers deeply practical advice, sharing how to: Unlearn internalized biphobia and homophobia Navigate an increasingly hostile digital landscape Think about coming out: who to tell, why to tell them, and how to do it Fight back against erasure and stigma Navigate sex, dating, partnerships, marriage, friendship, and work Understand your bi+ sexuality through a political lens Process Black bi+ representation Rich with personal narratives, insightful analysis, and practical advice, this book is a powerful resource for Black bi+ men to reclaim their identity, counter biphobia, and get empowered—and an offering to all readers looking to fight back against the erasure and dehumanization wrought by patriarchy.

You & Your Child in a Changing World
Author: Erondu S.I KelechiPublisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1477260684
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 82
Book Description
Tick, tick says the clock; The clock ticks in seconds, in minutes, hours, then onto days and weeks; from weeks to months and then to years; years pass onto centuries; then to millennia. The journey of man, in the same vein, begins from the fetus; then grows to childhood, a young adult and to a full grown individual. Change transcends from conception to the birth; sometimes it is born daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly but surely it {change} goes on and on. The world changes from the smallest community, continuously like the hand of the clock, sometimes in ways that are unpredictable as to stop the frequency of such a change. The birth and growth of a next generation is paramount and independent of the changes that go on. Therefore, even if the formula for successfully grooming a 3G child in a 3G world may differ, the Principles for breeding a successful and constructive generation should be same regardless of the altitude and magnitude of change - even the methods of application may vary.
