Why do women have this weird assumption and project that men supposedly fear "strong and independent women"? (Page 2)

[Lliam]

Do you actually know any women like that, or any women at all, for that matter?

[Juxtapose]

When women say they are strong and independent, what they are really communicating is that they are going to be negative and combative towards you regardless of how passive or dominant you act.

[Exterminatore]

Exactly.

[msc545]

These are angry women who are afraid of their own impulses, and there fore assume that men who are smart enough to avoid them are also afraid of them. We aren't - we just don't feel like putting up with their bad behavior.

[Nikki1989]

Well, thankfully, most women don't have to deal with insecure men like yourself. Most quality men have their life together.

It's a deflection and excuse for why men aren't interested. Being a strong independent woman basically mean you are an adult. Are men afraid of adult women?

[Juxtapose]

It's typically a dog whistle meaning the woman has a bad attitude. I don't want to control a woman in any way but I do recognize social cues and this is a big, fat red flag.

[Inbox]

@Juxtapose Yeah, all these moronic women who always jump to cynical reasons don’t understand the difference between intimidating vs bitch/turn off. The truly strong and independent men and women don’t go around saying “Im strong and independent” and I’ve battled the best and I can tell you only 5% of them are truly strong or independent.

[Exterminatore]

Excuse for why men aren’t interested - great point.

The reality is they overlooked their rotten attitude, beer gut, and fugly face and convinced themselves it’s because they are strong and independent.

I don't know but I need a man 😂
I'm just mushy and love a man. He cam do man things I'm also independent but I love acting like I can't open jars sometimes

[DreamLife7]

Because actions speak louder than words. Men say they aren't bothered by it yet their actions prove otherwise

[Blueeyes81]

From my experience a self lable of a strong independent woman translates as a bitch who loves drama.

[Anonymous]

Because if they maintain that faux reality then they don't actually have to acknowledge the real problem. That she just has a very repellant personality.

[Sasha0426]

I have no idea. I don’t really pay much attention to what a lot of women say anymore 🤷‍♀️

[007kingifrit]

its the same reason women claim men are "intimidated" by them when really we just can't be bothered with such low quality women

[NajemEddineBR]

women mistake strenght and independance for being a c. unt

[ButthurtGAGpeople1]

We fear them because they think that we're not needed

[Provingdatruth]

I don’t know, but I would see an independent woman as a blessing.

[sheikalana]

They actually feel entitled.

[Exterminatore]

Yes.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Your description hit the nail on the head.

[boobliker]

who asking who for what in this>?

[robocop666]

we feared and disliked that since when?

[Asker]

Apparently when feminism peaked.

[Jazzy54]

Delusion.
