Growing up in the 60s most women stayed home and took care of the house but they were just exercising their rights to have equality in the workplace. The husbands felt threatened when their wives would go out and get a job thinking all their friends would think that they could not take care of their wives and they had to work to take care of the bills. Whereas I looked at it and thought wow that's a lot of pressure off of me because I don't have to worried that my income is the only income coming in

@Seniorsecurity I know right. I don't understand why people don't see it that way.

Maybe their masculinity is threatened?
Keepitsimple · 51-55, F
@nahright09 I can see that being an issue but I’m strong willed and can think for myself. I like a man who is the same way. I do not want a passive man that I can walk all over.

@Crazychick I’m not talking about erections 🙄
Crazychick · 36-40, F
@Keepitsimple Then what else do you mean by "their masculinity is threatened"? That doesn't mean anything else in the area where I live.

Short answer...they’re cockblockers.
Longish answer...Because they feel it takes power away from them, and to some being the strong one is the only purpose they serve. You take that defining trait away and they’re left dwelling in their own vulnerability.

Nods.... get told twice a week that because i stay single that i "must be scarred from a previous relationship" and "havent met the right one yet", yet has nothing to do with the fact that I can do anything anytime i want by staying single.

I asked a somewhat similar type question a couple years ago. I think a lot of men have a "rescuer" type personality and if they can't help the woman they don't know what to do with her. That has been my personal experience. They don't realize that there are other ways to help her aside from listening to problems. It doesn't mean she doesn't have an emotional side, or a desire for help, but she might want it in different forms.

Patriarchy.
Crazychick · 36-40, F
@CountScrofula The "social pressure for men and women to act certain ways" hasn't existed in my part of the city since before I was born. Before my parents were born, even. The Sisterhood was actually founded in 1954, so that's how long we've been advocating for equality here.

@CountScrofula yeah, I was told I should be speaking in a soft, sweet voice to men. But I don't care. Fortunately, my fiance hates it too. He said he liked the way I talk to people boldly.
CountScrofula · 41-45, M
@Crazychick That's very cool!
@JBird Right exactly. So women are told to be demure, men are told to demand that women are demure. A lot of people ignore that, but a lot of people don't. So you end up with men who can't handle assertive women.

Strong women have very different standards including intellectually which those men can't match, and are persistent about their truth despite prejudice and injustice they are likely to face in society. And since weak men equate the ability to gain a woman's interest to their self-value, they will harbor resentment and feel offended.
More than that, the social norms that regulate women's behaviors are followed with the belief that if you don't, you will fail in your life. The strong females in extremely patriarchal societies are a living a proof it is not the case. They prove that the false sense of safety society provides in exchange of following rules that aim to keep women second class citizens is unnecessary. And there is much more to gain from seeking your own individual ambitions.
It is not just weak men who are intimidated by this, weak women too. It is envy.

they have tiny ego's
Crazychick · 36-40, F
I've only ever noticed that on the Internet, never in my neighbourhood. In fact, most men here love strong women.
Crazychick · 36-40, F
@JBird But what about people who were BORN TO ADVOCATE EQUALITY? Don't tell me such people don't exist in Asia, it's only the largest and most heavily populated continent in the world.
JBird · F
@Crazychick very few people do that. Most of times, their opinions will be overshadowed due to male dominance.
Crazychick · 36-40, F
@JBird There must be more than a few. It's not only opinions, it goes much, much deeper than that.

Strong women do not bother me at all, in fact I admire them. But there is a huge difference in being strong and being a bitch... and there are many women who confuse those two qualities.
Budwick · 70-79, M
Some guys can not deal with the concept that someone other than themselves could possibly defend themselves. I think it challenges weak minded men at their core - you know like at an instinctive level.
Fortunately, if there's any truth in Darwin's theory, the trait will be bred out of the human race over time. Cuz Neanderthal thinking like that can't possibly be attractive to strong, independent women.

Define "strong woman."

men by birth were told they're better in every aspect, just were told how to treat women as inferior beings. summary they dont have any 'educations' on what a woman really is and when they see someone strong they don't know what to do 🤷♀️

Idk cause i don't, every person you meet is a chance to learn something new
Mrsbetweenfatandfit · 31-35, F
They don’t think both strong men and women can coexist. They think the reason they’re weak is women are strong. They’re just crazy. Any of the above.
Luckily many men know better than to hate strong women for being strong.

They see more powerful and successful men and dont think they can compete, but at least they can see themselves as above what they come to think of as the weaker sex. That is until they see how bad ass a lady can be. Then he has to attack her character and femininity till his ego feels better.

Men are trash.
Crazychick · 36-40, F
@JBird I agree with you about all that. Why are people idiotic enough to judge people by their gender?
JBird · F
@Crazychick it's the culture. Asians are taught at a young age that women are lesser than men.

@JBird But what when their brains reject that crazy, wacked out idea?
