Why are so many men intimidated by any sign of strength in a woman? Does it threaten them somehow? Do they feel like they’re losing their place in society? Is the mere idea that any woman may not NEED or WANT them infuriating? I’d really like to know because some of the things I hear men say or read in those lovely Facebook comment sections are so hateful to women thats it’s completely baffling! I mean, really…you mad?
To be perfectly honest, I have no idea where this hate comes from and it seems pointless and unfounded. When a woman has opinions that she’s not ashamed to voice or strong convictions that make her who she is, men (not all, but many) run scared. In fact, they not only run scared but they run, huddle in a corner together and bash her for speaking her mind! It seems that even in 2016…I repeat… in the year TWO THOUSAND AND SIXTEEN women are still preferred to be seen and not heard. Be quiet. Mind your masculine partner. Submit…Please have SEVERAL seats!
Could someone please tell me where in the book of life it says that if a woman is independent, strong, or powerful that men become obsolete and must bring her down? What are these men trying to protect? From what I see it’s all based on fear. Fear that we won’t need them, fear that we can do things better (or can’t do things better), and fear that there will be no one left for them to control if we as women take control of our lives, our wellbeing and ourselves. Let me be blunt…massage your fragile ego all by yourself because it’s not our job to do it for you. Your insecurities are showing. It’s such a shame, because women will always need men just like men will always need women. On a very basic and natural level this will always be true. We should each lift each other up and be pillars of support for one another rather than trying to dominate or put the other in their place…and by the way that goes for men AND women. Just like there are men who hate on women there are women who hate on men, and guess what? It’s all rubbish. Get it together.
