There's whole another world of women who are not financially dependent and forced to stay inside their because of the toxic patriarchal society they live. There are women who don't have free will for anything or even who they are marrying. So, yes most women are not that strong and independent.
You know that this is obviously not what he talked about but proceed to say it because you have nothing else to say.
Are you okay?
LMAO! This is just bullshit mansplaining. Here I only see a random guy with mommy issues being sour on women. I understand, you´ve been rejected, move on dear. Let the analysis of human and social behaviour to the the experts and save us from your unfounded opinions.
You're 47 and say stuff like mansplaining? What went wrong in your life? Sad.
Oh look, another one who can't produce a valid counter argument without the use of logical fallacies (ad hominem) and feminazi shaming tactics. The fact you jumped to personally attacking him rather than attacking his statement and arguments goes to show you're intellectually incapable to produce a valid counter argument. So you resort to ad hominems because the cognitive dissonance was beginning to become too much. Honestly, I expected better from a 47 year old. But it goes to show the feminist indoctrination already got you good.
Agreed. This happens often with mytakes. You have guys whom it looks like are very sour whining about women. They make you think like they have a very large experience with women, like they did some sociological study that ables them so spew out such nonsensical generalizations. All women this, or *most* women that. Yeah, how many women did he date or try to flirt with? 500?
@TruthBringer Yeah, look who's using ad hominem... calling her a feminazi. She's right, these social behaviour analysts here on GaG are ridiculous. None of them know what they are talking about. The only thing they do, is use their probably pretty limited experience and generalize it. Heck, even if they had a large experience, it's most likely not enough for all sorts of reasons. Like numbers, like if the sample represents most types of women, age, etc.. Someone's own experience can be heavily skewed in one direction and not representative at all of anything.
And I wonder how old you are (you're hiding it, interesting), with this very passive-agressive post... You know, sometimes there's no point of attacking one's argument if they all come from generalizations. What are you to say? Start digging research papers to show he's wrong when he didn't even do that in the first place? Come on. You're being oblivious here.
@spearheadbt
I didn’t call her a feminazi. I said she used typical feminazi shaming tactics. So learn what an ad hominem truly is before you attempt to call someone a hypocrite.
“None of them know what they are talking about. “
- I’ve seen plenty of men not hating on women, yet making great arguments. Just because you don’t like what they say doesn’t mean they are wrong.
“The only thing they do, is use their probably pretty limited experience and generalize it. “
- Not sure who you’re talking about, but I’ve seen some who use scientific research here and then to back what they are saying. Also, generalization can only be bad when applying something to the WHOLE group while ignoring nuance. But to say that women like this or like that in general, when in general they truly do. If I say that women in general are straight, then that’s an accurate representation of reality.
My age is the same as my profile says. I don’t need to hide anything. You complain about me being passive aggressive when the OP of the comment jumped to immature name-calling without elaborating properly on why she disagrees with the Take. This is what we call butthurt.
“Start digging research papers”
- Funny, I always use scientific research whenever I can. Depends on the topic. So what papers should I read, mr? I didn't even make a statement but rather commented on an immature woman who obviously is using a burner account (given the inactive lvl 1) just to spew her poison. But by all means do defend such a person.
@TruthBringer
"I didn’t call her a feminazi. I said she used typical feminazi shaming tactics."
Oh please now! That's clearly insinuating she's one. With a neon sign. You're being super disingenuous here.
"Just because you don’t like what they say doesn’t mean they are wrong"
Indeed. The issue is not whether I like the argument. The issue is whether there has been a statistically and representatively significant pool to draw such conclusions.
"but I’ve seen some who use scientific research here and then to back what they are saying"
Which has not been the case in this Take. And is actually the minority of guys doing it. I haven't seen that happen once.
@TruthBringer
"But to say that women like this or like that in general, when in general they truly do. If I say that women in general are straight, then that’s an accurate representation of reality."
There's a difference between stating a neutral information and giving your interpretation of it. Saying women are weak or these things that he projects like here:
He's a man, it's the men's job to make the first move
He's a man, he should pay or he invited me so he should pay
He's too good for me
He will think I'm too easy or slutty or desperate or clingy
He won't respect me or use me for one night only
If he doesn't ask me out, then he's not man enough and not the right man for me and I don't want him anyway
I fear getting rejected, so I rather not
Maybe he (or his race) doesn't like (insert any race here)
It's not him, it's me
Where did he get this? Sure some women do think this, but that it's an accurate on the average? I could come up with a list of equivalent things *some* guy come up with. He's making shit up. Plus see my standalone comment. Girls do all sorts of things to show interest that are no lesser than making the first "move" or asking out. They just do things differently. But sometimes guys are too much of idiots to understand what girls are trying to show them. Maybe with neon signs it would be better... They are as much making an effort as men. Sure some are not good at it, but it's the same with guys.
@TruthBringer
"My age is the same as my profile says"
Sorry, I somehow missed it, I thought it would appear under your name. I wonder about the age of anonymous too. For example 24 is not a whole lot to have a lot of experience. If he's under 30, unless he's extremely good with girls, he might have had a very one-sided experience. Sure, girls in general have a lot of things in common, but they are all different, and at the end of the day, interactions can vary a lot. For all sorts of reasons.
There's also one important factor. What kind of guy you are, and what kind of girl you try your luck on, if it's one type of girl. If you always try with the same kind of girls, girls above your league, or always use the same tactics, then you might have a very one-sided experience.
"Funny, I always use scientific research whenever I can"
I'm not talking about you. Re-read what I wrote...
"I didn't even make a statement but rather commented on an immature woman who obviously is using a burner account (given the inactive lvl 1) just to spew her poison. But by all means do defend such a person"
Because it's obvious she's right. It's obvious the guy is butthurt from his experience with women. Just *how* it is written, *what* he writes, everything. It jumps at your eyes. It's obvious he's new into the game, otherwise he wouldn't have written what he wrote. Just the things I quoted up there. If he's not interacting much with girls, how does he know what they are thinking? He looked it up on the internet from other guys like him?
@spearheadbt Sorry mate, I'm not going to read your essay where you rant trying to defend someone trhowin feminist shaming tactics around. Suit yourself
@TruthBringer They're not feminist shaming tactics (lol). But well, answering me defending her, and then chickening out because I'm defending her? Tells me a lot about yourself. And the use of the word essay too. Aren't you the one who asked for arguments? You sure as hell like to read them... XD You just wanted to feel good arguing with "feminists". Sorry to break your fun.
@spearheadbt Like I said, I ain't planning on reading a rant of someone defending someone using shallow feminist shaming tactics who she herself didn't bother disprove anything the author said. The fact you came here defending her while she is the one who resorted to patronization right off the bat says more about you than others. I'm willing to listen to other people's opinions as I've been doing here for the past year, I simply refuse to do it with people butthurt about someone else calling another out for their use of feminist shaming tactics (which they are like the use of "mommy issues" and "mansplaining" which are notoriously used by modern feminists).
The fact you wrote me a bunch of paragraphs is obvious that you're mad that someone called her out on her shit. Go cry us a river elsewhere.
@TruthBringer
Like I said, why answer me in the first place? You just don't want to argue. You come here to claim otherwise, and when it becomes difficult, you just give up. You're not interesting in debating, you are interested in being right.
"feminist shaming tactics"
They were not. And she's right for the reasons I said. But you don't want to read. So you use lame ass excuses.
"(which they are like the use of "mommy issues" and "mansplaining" which are notoriously used by modern feminists)."
Nazis had kids. Is having kids a Nazi thing? You are making up a strawman here. You make her up as some kind of reprehensible person no reasonable person would talk to. So you can easily flee when you want. And heck, why the freaking hell did you answer her in the first place if you didn't want to discuss? You just want to make yourself feeling better bashing "feminists".
"The fact you wrote me a bunch of paragraphs is obvious that you're mad that someone called her out on her shit. Go cry us a river elsewhere."
I don't know her. But I like to argue with idiots. I suppose that's a big problem of mine. And let me remind you that you are still writing on here even if you keep saying you don't want to. What does that make of you? Clearly you care about what I write. Why not act consistently and ignore me (and her) altogether?
@spearheadbt Oh trust me mate, I've dealt with people like you the moment I came on this website. You're not too difficult. It gets boring having to deal with the same type of people defending princesses using feminist shaming tactics. We got plenty of them here on the website. But if you like to believe you "won", I'll gladly give you that illusion. If it helps you sleep at night that is.
I'm not willing to argue with you because I honestly do not credit anything coming from people who defend bigots throwing insults around.
The fact you do not think she used femininst shaming tactics when these were obviously notorious feminist tactics shows you do not know what you're talking about. If someone is mad it is her for having a man write his thoughts out on a Take about "strong" and "independent" women. She then continues to sort to personally attack him by patronizing him about "mommy issues" . So no, I do not agree with that she is "right". All she did was attack him without actually disproving anything he said. You do not have to do it for her because you weren't there for my first reply. You just came in and started to white knight for her. That's why dudes like you are not to be taken seriously.
This isn't me "running away" or still needing to be here after I told you it's not worth arguing with you. This is me explaining to you what the reason (s) are and where your error in judgment lies. Because it seems like you were confused. Capiche?
People are people, and every personality trait you can mention (strong, weak, shy, courageous) can be identified in either men or women.
Your entire thesis or theory or whatever it is.. it's flat-out wrong.
You go ahead and treat all women like they are weak and mentally unable to make a good decision, see how that works out for you.
First off this a bold post. Second Woman are different than men. It seems culturally that Men make the first move and men and woman are conditioned that way. Us men would like her to make the first move but it we have genuine interest we need to just approach her. Also Men are stronger than woman in a lot of ways thats true. Men are supposed to lead and protect, however their are Strong woman out there i promise. Not the angry pink haired feminists lmao they are just delusional, but their are a lot of strong mothers and hardworking women. Just have to find the good ones.
So... She can be able to squat 300 lb, but she prefers to stay at home on Instagram then going on a hike so she is weak helpless and in need of rescue?
This me exaggerating. But just because they don't usually make the first move in relationships or don't like to go out alone, doesn't mean they are week and helpless.
indeed! they're always "strong and independent" alright but the minute they even think and act on starting a family or fearing that they're gonna be alone forever it will suddenly become their own kryptonite.
So struggling at certain stages makes you weak. How come a man does not lose his independence by worrying. Does that mean no one is 'strong and independent'
@Izzyboom you miss the part where I said "they even think and ACT ON."
your worries will never have an effect on you if you never react on them. and there I just answered your question, we men are rarely weak in this department because we hardly worry a let alone react to our worries because we cherish our solitude more and we always calculate and set up a plan before we start a family. we dont just start a family out of the blue just because we fear we will get old and our biological clock will work against us. not that it hardly does because after all we do age a lot better than women do
Yeah there real strong and independent until the government cuts off that welfare check , or stops enforcing that labor quota.
Thats not to say there aren't any independent women I've known a few in my life but they're the exception not the rule
So true... Here is the reality, If you use government aid of any kind, if you are on child support, or any other form of government support, You are not a strong independent woman
There are good women in the world today but there are more awful toxic women who contribute nothing and are extremely fake. They virtue signal constantly not because they are pure of heart but because they believe that others will like them more because of it. These superficial bitches are the most deceitful and should be shouted down and marginalized. Never commit to one or you will forever forget it
It's a attitude thing how we see on thing's that determine if we are or aren't.
Gender in itself doesn't determine.
Meh. Mediocre, but the comments will be angry and fierce.
I agree that most girls are not strong and independent. I don't feel that way, and I don't think I ever will.
Just wanted to say, I agree with you here. Nothing clever or witty this time.
"Nothing clever or witty this time."
So per usual? HA HA, just kidding. Probably.
My ex wife gets more than half my salary and my two kids... She's very independent now!!!
Until you lose your job or die.
Not sure if that's funny or sad. Or both.
Funny how one women liked that. That's what women think being independent means
The fact they keep saying they're strong and independent comfirms to me that they're not they were just trying to hide it
I actually see more men complaining about "strong and independent women" than I see girls boasting about being strong and independent
@Sarahnah Bingo! That was exactly what I was thinking too.
I find it laughable.
A woman: "I'm a strong independent woman and I DON'T NEED NO MAN!"
Same woman: "Where have all the men gone", "There seems to a man drought", "Perhaps men find a 'career' women intimidating" and so on.
What's your take on such hypocrisy?
@Sarahnah
@Wacky_al There's a difference between "wanting" a man and "needing" a man. It's not hypocritical to say that the men you have met aren't very desirable to you even though you don't NEED to get married.
There's no such thing as a strong or independent woman.
@DeltaCharlieEcho. Exactly. Women can be "strong and independent" as long as men handle ALL of the hard, dirty, dangerous, and technical jobs.
@KrakenAttackin The amount of women that live in this completely delusional 'reality' is unbelievable. If there was an entire species of women that were able to reproduce without male intervention, they'd still be living in huts with no light, fire, or clothing.
@DeltaCharlieEcho Exactly right. Women talk shit about men and praise female empowerment, in classrooms built by men, air conditioned by equipment men designed, built, installed by men; with electrical power generated by power plants designed, built, and operated by men. These women arrived in cars that were designed, built, and are maintained by men; on roads built by men, etc., etc. etc. etc. etc... and these women really are this fucking clueless.
@DeltaCharlieEcho Dr. Shirley Jackson – Telecommunication research: "Theoretical physicist Dr. Shirly Jackson was the first black woman to receive a Ph. D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1973. While working at Bell Laboratories, she conducted breakthrough scientific research with subatomic particles. Her research enabled others to invent the portable fax, touch tone telephone, solar cells, fibre optic cables, and the technology behind caller ID and call waiting. Imagine all the important information you would have missed without this amazing woman!"

With this technology and the principles of semiconductor thermoelectricity, she designed the first solar heating system for the Dover Sun House in Dover, Massachusetts, and the first thermoelectric refrigerator in 1953."
"Ann Tsukamoto – Stem cell isolation: In 1991, Tsukamoto and her colleagues made a major medical breakthrough – they were able to identify and isolate stem cells. This discovery has been vital to medical advancements, including the development of bone marrow transplants to treat blood cancer."
@DeltaCharlieEcho Maria Beasley – The life raft: "n 1882, US inventor Maria Beasely decided that people should stop dying at sea. People had been navigating the seas for millennia, but the lifeboats that existed at the time were not an effective product to help in the event of a SOS situation. Now, thanks to Maria, thousands of lives have been saved, including an estimated 706 from when the Titanic sank."
Marie Curie – Theory of Radioactivity: "By the time Polish physicist Marie Curie was just 44 years old, she had laid out a theory of radioactivity (a term that she coined), techniques for isolating radioactive isotopes, and the discovery of two elements, polonium and radium. She was the first person in history to win two Nobel Prizes and the only person to win twice in multiple sciences!"

It wasn't long before she was at the forefront of computer programming in the 1950s.
She was behind the compiler, which could translate instructions into code that computers can read, making programming quicker and ultimately revolutionising how computers worked.
You're welcome. :)
@DianaWest Wow you can name examples of females that can do things. Let me go ahead and do some math for you.
Total Number of people to have lived on earth: 105,000,000,000
Rough estimate of females to have lived: 52,500,000,000
Number of examples you've provided: 7
7 Examples / 52,500,000,000 Rough Total of Women to have ever lived
0.0000000013461538%
Just to make you understand just how wildly insignificant that number is, that is less than 1/1,000,000 of a percent chance of any woman ever doing something of value that will contribute to the future of humanity beyond her life. That's still roughly 10000x less likely than a man to do the same. And you can try to make the whole "women haven't had the same opportunities that men have had to make a difference for as long as men have." just consider that in that same time there have been thousands of men making, doing, and researching things that will be used by you and women like you for well beyond your lifetime.
Men create for advancement, women alter for advancement.
Welcome to the real world.
@DeltaCharlieEcho blah blah blah. yawn. why don't you do some research yourself, or is that far beyond what your intellectual capabilities can handle? i provided a few examples of many, that are really quite important. try finding a cure for cancer yourself instead of taking credit for what other humans who happen to share a few of the same biological traits as you have accomplished. without a woman, you'd be no one. there are multiple examples, but men with your mindset could never let women take credit because they were threatened. their tiny brains could not handle the thought that a woman with a pussy between her legs could be smarter and more accomplished than them. women nowadays do everything that men do and more. they work the same jobs as men, earn equal or higher salaries, are generally better educated, cook, clean, and take care of multiple children while many men like you bitch about how tired they are after they paint a wall. go build your tiny bridge so you can feel proud of your accomplishments. many women are in the military, are doctors, nurses, lawyers, judges, politicians, astronauts, police officers, engineers, computer programmers, teachers, bankers. nothing that men do hasn't been done by women as well. did we have a slower start? yeah, because we had little men with your mindset who kept their boots on our faces. even to this day some men prevent their women from going anywhere without them, from staring or talking to another man, from going to school, from driving, from working. i wonder why these men would go through such trouble if women were all so damn stupid?
@DianaWest I don't need to, the reality is that every single advancement that women have made has been on the backs of the research and advancements of men that came before them.
You can bla bla bla all you want, but the stats don't lie.
@DeltaCharlieEcho provide those stats. and as i said einstein, of course it was built on previous inventions, because for centuries women were kept chained like dogs to their pots and pans.
@DianaWest You provided the examples, the burden of proof is on you. You've simply provided 7 examples, for all I know those are the only 7 examples that exist. Bring me thousands more and I'll consider your point valid. Unfortunately you think you've done your diligence, and I have no intention of lifting a finger for you. You know why? Because you think you're a strong independent woman.
@DianaWest The majority of your exampled are research assistants who just worked in the labs, hardly the main innovators. These women ran coffee and took notes.
@KrakenAttackin no einstein. they were the main inventors. otherwise, provide evidence to back up your claims.
@DianaWest You know why that woman that is credited for the advent of computation on the space station is credited with that success? Because she had the idea to sew the logic connections together. She didn't write the code, she just implemented the application of it in a moment of immediacy. Was it a brilliant decision? Absolutely. Was her idea anything other than an adaptation on an existing idea? No.
We men are attracted to the feminine due to biological reasons and not intimidation
Just sounds like sexism to me, bb.
Women are not strong at all
Could be but depends on certain woman, not all.
