Whether it be good times or bad times in a man’s life. In Eve Golden’s short story “Dangerous Curves” he explains the different types of women and their problematic relationships. The most lethal female in Golden’s “Dangerous Curves” is the uptown girl because they can harm men in ways like no other mentally and the most innocuous girl is the smotherer because she can do no wrong for you. The uptown girl is a dream girl such as the ones seen “on the cover of Sports Illustrated this year.” They will leave males questioning themselves, “why can’t I get her attention?” or “Does she even like me?” This type of problem will leave a man confused and insecure of himself. Trying to figure out ways to better him; to gain that attention he craves and wants from the girl it is us men strive for everyday.
I mean, I knew she was a manipulative bitch, I just thought she may have still had some feelings towards me. As I arrested the serpent for capital treason, I remembered the letter and called upon the helpful stranger who had opened my eyes to everybody’s treachery.

They were evil and so were their motives.
My opinion of the movie “The Mack” is that it sheds a negative light on young black women and men. It clearly gave the impression that all women are hoes and black men can’t live the good life without pimping or selling crack.

Goldie who considered himself to be a “hero” but in reality he was toxic, he was a villain, he was a murder, a drug dealer and a pimp. I would have to say that his brother was more so “The hero” but of course the movie had little focus on that.

A couple of examples are spousal murder and rape. (Gen 14 2012, p.24-26) Women who murder their husbands no matter what the circumstances find it hard to be treated sympathetically by the justice system. This is due to the historical cultural stereotypes of women and the Judicial Myopia of the judges and courts. (Gen 14 2012, p.23) Historically men are given greater latitude when it comes to spousal murder as women are seen as a man’s possession and any deviance from that is provocation.
