Should women take control of their relationship?

[Barbaric]

You're a young guy so I'll forgive you for being a bit of a simp, because you've probably been bombarded with the men=bad women=bad message, but no. What you're saying isn't true, and with that kiss-ass attitude all you're gonna get is walked all over by women who don't respect you. And for a woman, her respect for you is directly linked with her attraction to you. When you pedestalise a woman you shouldn't be surprised when she looks down at you.

Women can be just as immature, just as easily led astray, as men can. They're neither mentally nor morally superior to us. They have flaws just like we do. They don't fart rainbows and shit glitter. Not even the most attractive ones.

If you want to put yourself down and grovel at the feet of femaledom, that is your right to do so. But you don't speak for men and, in this post, you aren't even acting like a man.

Men and women are different - absolutely - and I am damned glad for the differences! But that does not mean that one gender is better than the other or superior in any general way. With respect to specific functions, like lifting weights, men have an advantage. Women are much better at nurturing children.

But women do not have any superior ability to run a relationship and most men don't want their girlfriend/SO/spouse to be their boss. And most women don't want men to be the boss, either. A relationship should be a partnership, with both partners contributing to the best of their abilities.

Telling women that they should be in charge is just another way of saying that you don't want to shoulder that responsibility yourself. Guess how attractive that is to women!

How bout y’all just grow the fuck up and stop using incompetence as an excuse to make your spouse balance both of your lives. Strategic incompetence is a manipulation tactic often utilized by men to force their spouses to assume the bulk of household responsibilities and emotional labor. You’re not a good multi-tasker? Practice. You’re not good at complex thinking? Read a fucking book and take some classes to get the gears turning in your head. You have no patience? Learn it. You got the urge to cheat? Either end the relationship or seek counseling.

Women should be in control over their own lives and well being. However, this doesn’t mean they should control men. The reality of that would look more like women are their husbands moms than anything else.

I'd come from the other side and say nobody should ever not be in control of their relationship.

But you also shouldn't assume that just because someone is more easygoing, that they're not in control.
How we express ourselves is very different, and you shouldn't judge people by casual interactions.
But if you feel you're not doing well in your relationship, I'd recommend taking to your partner about what you can do to change that.

You sound like a woman yourself. Weak, irresponsible, passive, you are a beta male, a failure. You need to recognize this and work to change.

How about you tell your fellow men to grow up and take things seriously, instead of passing all the responsibilities with women just bcoz u think that we are capable of multi tasking?

What do you Mean by Jedi Like abilities? Not an independent gender can have them. My passive: (I made up the name) Silence of the Wind.

[FackThePackers21]

Agreed, women should be in charge of social/personal affairs.

No you teenage dipshit get off the internet or you'll end up crazy like me

[StephenCF]

If the couple prefer it that way. But as for me, I won’t continue a relationship where a girl has noticeable control. Either it’s me or we’re generally equal 👫

[greatbaldock]

The man can exute any domanence he wants but when it comes down to it we want to get laid and that's where the power is

[CriticalDiscourse]

People ought to just stop assigning rolls to relationships.

[Jamie05rhs]

I don't think women have the capacity to take control of a relationship. Because they never know what they want, and even if they do want something they're always avoiding it.

[CubanLove]

No it should be an equal thing.

How many new user profiles have you already gone through today, missy?

Next time, get a pink one like you should have from the beginning.

[bamesjond0069]

Nope. Women might be good at those things you mentioned but men are far better leaders.

[JustTheTrue]

Nah lol

[GiantKnight]

It's a partnership not a buisness

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]
