Why are men scared of strong woman?

[fufu]

A truly strong woman (or man, for that matter), doesn't need to prove anything to anyone. The problem is that "strong women" have to prove something to everyone, especially men. They are very unpleasant people.

This seems to be true.

No such thing.

One of my bosses is a "strong woman" and she's a pretty good leader, she's fair, she knows what she doing.
Yet for some reason my co-workers don't like her, they make remarks about her gender from time to time under their breath.......some men just can't take orders from a woman.

You need to be spanked little boy.

Times are a-changing. People have to get used to it and realize that gender isn't such a big deal.

I don't know about you, but when it comes to things like sex, gender is very important. But that's just me...

From personal experience, just with about every woman or girl that I have met.
They are pretty stubborn, the "my way or the highway" type of thinking.

Not every female is like that, but from what I have seen, most think that they are always right.

Interesting! I see a pattern forming here.

Age cohort associated cultural bias.

In the youngest male members, the sterotypical (I believe it was ascribed above, to the 'good ole boy' mentality) remains, as it has for generations. But their experience with females within their age group is one of general intolerance to this antiquated attitude.

In older age groups, females may be less willing to speak out, due to social conditioning and even economic strictures (the proverbial glass ceiling within corporate management structures). Those women who do not subscribe to this traditional gender role social conditioning are singled out and labeled 'strong-willed' (eg., stubborn, or masculine-seeming), because such women are willing to speak out in a sterotypically male behavior pattern, common in traditional Western society.

Ahhh.

There's a distinct difference between "speaking-out" and being "strong-willed." It's one thing to fight for the rights of women and it's another thing to shoving it down the throat of any man that wonders by.

If you look at my post you can see I was reffering to gender issues in the workplace.

Hey, dumb shit, you quoted the wrong post.

You took advantage of me.

The facts are that people worry about peoples outlooks on how they think ( irregardless of what they say ) it's a subconcious thing. I've found that the people most vocal about their opinions and feelings are the ones who are the most narcissistic. It's these people who are in the spotlight just to crave the attention they so desperately need. Every person is opinionated, but for one reason or the other they don't express them or at least as vocally as some of the "intimidating women" you're describing. Men come to the same general concensus - they want a woman to match him. Which entales not a necessarily quiet, submissive wife, but if I don't want to go to a rally about womens rights, or this or that then I don't want my wife to drag me along to one. Hope this clarifies something.

Because women aren't open to change on matters; at least not as openly as men are. Every "opinionated woman" I've ever met has been a complete and total bitch, and most purely feel this way or that way so they can argue the point to death. Even more so women involve emotion; and even take offense when someone disagrees with them. Men don't want to argue or discuss politics, religion, or anything else with women because most women are to damn stubborn ( and a lot of is bred by the fact that they think that a man disagrees with her just cause she's a woman ) to have a discussion with. Arguments and discussions don't lead to solutions with women; where as with men it ends one way or the other ( fist or words ). So generally men just avoid the woman, not necessarily intimidated.

Kid, I thought you were a dumbass because of your views on Iraq, but in this thread I'm sorry I didn't see it sooner to come to your defense. I'm glad someone else roughly my age sees this shit. Don't worry about the guys disagreeing with you, their just scared their wife will read, or under the delusion that they're gonna nail one of the women on this forum someday. That shit you said, especially the parts I highlighted, is very true.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll only drag you down to thier level and beat you with experience.

 

[RCfootball87]

I mean, there's no way to prove with a FACT that women are like this, but Jordan does make a point that a large number of us can attest to for personal experience. That's why I underlined "most" women are too damn stubborn. I just ignore little arguments with them.

 

[33ecooks]

Although I agree with the young buck, Jordan's, explanation of an "opinionated woman" it's not what I describe as a strong woman. I've actually met opionated guys that fit that same description.


A "strong woman" is one who has their own career, are able to take care of themselves (or kids), won't let anyone take advantage of them, won't put up with a man putting hands on her, and one who doesn't necessarilly need a man to make them complete and has their priority straight. Oprah, Condelesa Rice, Martha Stewart, etc.

Jordan you definetly are well versed in your comments the only thing I can says is when I was 16 - 18 I thought I knew how people and the world worked and probably would of posted something in this same thread. But the older I got I realized and learned through experiences and still am even now. In fact I laugh at alot of the shit I used to say and think. I guess what I'm saying is although I respect your opinion, this was really a grown folks affair.

 

[min0 lee]

There is no such thing as a stubborn man I guess.

KEFE you arent a man and we know it!

Oh Snap!

I dig chicks that are gutsy and tom-boyish...
... Just not Man-ish -

I guess thats why I like redheads..
The freckled ladies are usually less apt to be whiney
little prom-queen, nail-salon, princess's.

I like them strong, then I don't have to carry in all of the heavy groceries.

Thanks for the warning:

Note to self do not argue with Witmaster.

Believe me when I say - I get the same thing all the time, and I believe it. I laugh at some of the ideas I had when I was younger now. I guess it's a part of growing up. While it may have been a "grown folks affair" it was still a public questions so I figured I'd throw in my 2 cents worth. It's hard to express a lot of what I'm trying through typing and not orally, but I appreciate the sentement all the same. I'm kind of old fashioned; I've got things to experience and learn - I know, but for now let me have my cake so I can eat it too.
