When a woman says “I’m an independent woman,” what do you actually hear? (Page 2)

[Ninania]

If they need to say it, they're probably not as confident as they want to be.

[Dargil]

She doesn't need a man for sex or to pay her rent.

[tfan1]

I can do what I want to. I don’t need help from anyone. (Basically a spoiled brat)

[KrakenAttackin]

Overly competitive, argumentative, difficult, uncooperative.

[DJB72]

I'm a big fan of misandry but don't dare say anything I can turn into an accusation of misogyny...

[Subarugirl]

The same thing that I hear when a man says that he is Independant.

[Jersey2]

I hear false confidence and then I think she will be a pain in the butt.

[Hardworkingguy]

Sometimes it's lije a warning ⚠️. She would like a man but not a possessive one that wants to limit and control her activities

[PainusNdeeAnus]

Im an adult. Even though most women aren’t very independent they receive more help than men do

[Rapport]

That you've probably been hurt before in a way that makes you feel like you have to say that.

[BJP21]

To me it means, I dont need to worry about "Holding your hand" or being needy.

[MountAverage]

That she doesn't need a man by her side. She may want one, but she doesn't need one.

[Sparkie460]

An independent woman usually doesn't need a man, she can handle life's ups and downs on her own

[fonduegirl]

That's a stereotype

[fonduegirl]

Not all feminists hate men

[Sparkie460]

I didn't say they hated men, just that they didn't need a man

[fonduegirl]

They do need men. Usually the ones that say they don't are slightly on the misandrist side.

[malwins]

She’s probably getting rejected all the time and wanna make herself feel good

but she could be in fact just independent

[Shiningtempest]

@MzAsh When a woman says "I'm an independent woman", I heart it as arrogance & smugness.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

She's a modern woman who still wants traditional man.

[peedy]

See yah your not good enough for me get away from me

[bamesjond0069]

I'm a pain in the ass and ill try to be a pain in your ass if you let me.

[TallAnon]

"I can take care of myself and don't want help or support"

[Dlickel]

I hear that you really are not interested in a long term relationship, or at least do not need a man in your life. Possibly don't want one.

[krin_m]

That she is confident, and self sufficient. A very attractive trait in my opinion.

[Solitario_94]

That means to me that she doesn't want or need a guy's influence in her life.

[Wish4UrB00ty]

“Fuck off I don’t need you!”

[melanieeeB]

That she is an independent woman lol

[WhitneySnow]

She doesn’t need a guy to define her life

[RavVid]

"I'm going to be difficult"

[Blueberrychocolate]

A whole lotta weak ass man in the comment…

[es20490446e]

I don't even want to know.

[aaron210419]

the female version of I'm an alpha male

[aaron210419]

Also, congratulations! You pay your own bills, just like the rest of the world! There's no trophy for doing the same thing that every adult is expected to do.

[ArtemisSilver]

I don't think I need you.

[CloudMassacre]

She has her own place and job

[ChefPapiChulo]

What kind of stupid question is that?

[MzAsh]

It’s called research. You wouldn’t understand.

[ChefPapiChulo]

I’m sorry but your question makes no sense.

[ChefPapiChulo]

i will not be part of your unethical social experiments.

[MzAsh]

This whole site is a social experiment lol

[Anonymous]

Does she mean free thinker, or man hater?

[art84]

She doesn't need a man in her life.

[Guardian45]

Hello? That she is independent.

[AngryCarl]

No I don't want to sleep with you.

[Shy_Steve]

That She doesn't want to date me.

[Sixgun77]

"I'm a crazy Marxist. "

[Mediterraneansoul]

I hear *I don't need men* b. s

[WhiteBoyChill]

All I hear is “I’m a selfish entitled btch”

[Jltakk]

"pay attention to me"

[Pegases]

Aka "Don't date me"

[YourToy69]

Feminist ready for a fight
