Why do women sometimes act irrational?

[Anonymous]

Not her to bash women all day long. But this is something I often think about.

If women are naturally temperamental at times then there is nothing we can really do about it. However makes me really get angry at the feminist movement and "equal opportunity" bullsh*t because men are naturally better leaders, decision makers, etc.

If it's option number 2, then our politically correct society really needs to be corrected. Women can enjoy the same opportunities as men, but also should be REPRIMANDED and held responsible just like men for not behaving like a rational person at times (which they rarely punished for) .

Of course I'm making some very politically incorrect statements. But this is just my thoughts.

It is biological....hormones. They are born that way.

It is environmental. Our society enables them to act irrational with no consequence.

Oh...I expect some angry responses from this question/poll. It's because what I said is not politically correct...so sorry. Just remember trolling/anger outbursts are emotional...not logical. If you blast me you will prove my point.

I don't want to go off on tangent, but a few years ago ago my friend's landlord (acquaintance of mine) was murdered by his wife of 6 months. They were arguing in the kitchen and she grabbed a knife and stabbed him. Fortunately for her

this happened in ultra liberal Boulder, Colorado. She was let off charges for it being "self defense" although there was no proof he was trying to attack her. No murder charges, no manslaughter charges etc. Now her decision to grab a knife and stab him

was not exactly a rational thing to do. Men and women do stupid/crazy things...I get it. But the fact that she is a women and she was in argument with a man seemed to gain her some leeway? I dunno

that's one example...maybe not the best example (very extreme) but an example of society giving women room to behave the way they do sometimes. Honestly...if he stabbed her...would he be off scott free right now? Even if it were an accident

I'm sure a jury would convict him of manslaughter charges. My point is that if women are NATURALLY behaving this way sometimes because of hormones...does it really explain why women/men have different responsibilities in this society.

And different roles doesn't mean being unequal. Or maybe women DO have the ability to control themselves...but society is doesn't slap them hard (or at all) for behaving this way. Mega generalizations I know...but this isn't fair.

Do you actually have any scientific evidence that men are better leader or better decision makers? Tbh, decision making skills have nothing to do with gender, but the person's attitude and knowledge of the subject. I.e. it's a common belief that women make better decisions regarding social issues and education, while men make better decisions regarding crime and public safety. This may not be the case in reality. You still can't categorize, because individual people make individual mistakes.

People will do whatever they can get away with - I don't think it's right that she hasn't been charged with murder, though it's well known that judges are less harsh on sentencing females, because of gender stereotypes. But say it was a male judge, then isn't it someone from the opposite gender enabling the inequality to happen? If as a society, we continue to base our opinions, beliefs and decisions on gender stereotypes, NOTHING will change. It's not the law that has to change, but the thinking of the people.

Women and men have different roles. in this world but does NOT mean they are less important then men. That's what I want feminist to get through ultra thick skulls. They are a MINORITY however they manage to manipulate the MAJORITY. This women committed a crime in a very liberal city. If she would have done this in Utah or Texas (not austin) I got a feeling she might have be having a date with a needle.

[specialkay]

wow. lol so you aren't in favor of equal opportunity and you think its bullsh*t because men are "naturally better leaders, decision makers, etc." On top of that you think women are getting the same opportunites as men. Then to entertain us further you claim we haven't been held responsible enough for our alleged tendency to behave irrationally. You are not only politically incorrect but extremely ignorant.

The ironic part of this entire post is that you fail to present your argument with any rational thought, logic, reason, evidence, intelligence, etc. Good job. lol

[Asker]

Why didn't you vote?

[specialkay]

Lol no rational options

[Asker]

No, rather no rational mindset to come up with a conclusion.

[specialkay]

Sure. xD

i agree with the guy below, you should never reproduce.

Jesus, women can be irrational, but so can men. Some women are just more likely to be flamboyant about it because the majority of us are more comfortable with showing our emotions. That is due partly to our brain chemistry, and partly due to the fact that society has shown men that they should hide their emotions for thousands of years. Irrationality... I don't think you really understand what that means. Oh, and fyi, it has been proven that men's hormones fluctuate like women's every month. Women just have to deal with horrid cramps.

[Asker]

Would you want a world were men are revealing their emotions as often as women?

[Aerronwyn]

It wouldn't bother me had I been raised in a world where it was so, but the fact is I wasn't. This causes be to see it as strange like the majority of others. However, I simply think you are looking at this wrong. We don't need to be harder on women for being emotional, there is nothing wrong with that. Perhaps we simply need to ease up on the men who have always been forced to hide their emotions.

I think the issue of feminism and female irrationality points to one simple basic fact, men and woman have their roles in society. A man can do badly performing a woman's role either in thought or deeds. So can a woman trying to perform a man's role. This therefore makes it clear that irrationality is universal but the degree to which irrationality is displayed in a situation depends largely on whether it is a man playing a woman role or a woman playing a man role in the situation. For example, where a woman stabbed a man during a heated argument, clearly shows that it is not a woman role to engage in aggressive situation. They make little or no rationale behind their actions in aggressive situations. If I was a judge, I could not be too harsh on the woman either BUT SHE DESERVES A PUNISHMENT. The severity of a punishment should depend on the offender capacity to avoid that crime. Woman naturally do not have the capacity to be logical in aggressive situations.

They aren't 'naturally' irrational at all, it 's just that they can often get away with hurting peop;le with their 'natural' irrationality when a man would pay a big price for acting like that in the first place.

They want equality, but also the special privileges left over from the days when women were considered too hopelessly emotional for business...

i think women CAN do what men can

BUT women are more built for love and nuturing

like the men should bring home the bacon and woman prepare it.

but in my opinion I think men should do the harder stuff, not because women can't but because men are to protect women.

i don't like feminist most of the time either.

i want a man to be my rock and me theirs in a way.

its hard for a woman to go on the battle field when we physically cannot carry a wounded man.

i want to be the woman to help the man heal.

if my babbling made any sense.

[Asker]

No this isn't babbling at all, thank you for making a rational response to my question. I realize that not all women are fem nazis. But I do have an issue with these women influencing the media, education AND legal systems.

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah, we should take care of each other in the right ways instead of trying to compete for the same slot when that slot was already takin in the first place.

if a women needs to do it, we can.but I don't find some burning desire in my to have a d***.

i like being a woman :)

i cook like a beat haha

[onetwo3]

I think it's people in general. For every crazy woman you find, I bet I can find an equally crazy man. As for getting away with crimes like you said, women are usually smaller and weaker, so it's harder to believe that a man would have to use a weapon to defend himself against a woman I guess. A woman would have a hard time defending herself against a man unless she had the advantage of a weapon

[kmhco]

Would you like to give a rational support to why you believe men are naturally better leaders and decision makers?

PS. Trolling is unbecoming of you.

[Asker]

If women are influenced by their emotions more than men, then they will at times make decisions on their feelings as opposed to facts. An effective leader does NOT do that. Not all women tend to act irrational, not do all men think logically. But in general it is very true.

P.S. I expected heat from this poll. But "irrational" trolling from women is actually proving my point :)

[Simple-Simonette]

You had me at "hello".

[Asker]

Hello?
