#MAFS Does Woody Fully Comprehend A Woman’s Bodily Autonomy?

The hair cutting conversation…Yuck

Pastor Cal came in a lit sh*t up. Amani and Woody were in a bubble but he asked them if they were having real world conversations. And naturally, after ten days, there were some things they had yet to address. It got real tight when the topic of decision-making came up. I don’t know what it is but “hair-cutting” is always a thing for Black couples. Woody was saying that Amani getting her hair cut would change the dynamics of their relationship because he wouldn’t be attracted to her anymore.

She said that as his wife, he should be able to identify other things besides her physicality that work for him.

The conversation eventually shifted into Woody saying that an ex had an abortion without talking to him about it first and so he likes to discuss things with his partner before they make a decision that will affect the both of them.

I understand that a woman having an abortion when you would like her to keep the child is a lot to endure. But even with a decision of that magnitude, while it would be nice and even customary for a man to be included in that discussion, that still doesn’t mean that at the end of the day, the decision lies with the woman. Yet another reason to use protection.  Because, as a man, after that initial deposit, it really is out of your hands.
