For Colored Girls This movie gave a very good view of family life. There were many families portrayed in this film. The social context was the family of black girls from teens to adults. They portrayed the difficulty of their lives and how hard it was to live in their families in their neighborhood. One of the women was abused by her drunk husband, another woman was raped by a man that she trusted and thought she was friends with. Another woman just liked to have sex with men for fun. A teenage girl gave up her virginity and got pregnant. All of theses different problems are things that many colored girls have to live with everyday.

While the older generation did it too, it was more prevalent in the younger ones. It also showed that black men expect to be in charge of their women and that they almost completely control them. This was displayed with Yasmine who was raped, the man expected to have sex with her whether she wanted to or not. She was not willing to have sex with him yet so he raped her. Also with Bo and Crystal, he
