Why do men think that women have so much power?

Question

You cannot and repeat cannot control anybody with sex.  That doesn’t make a person stay. It means nothing to most guys. Its all emotional on our end.  if that was the we would all have a person to ourselves. In a world full of people.  At the end of the day women want the attention and men give it to them. It’s a cycle.

Some men allow women to have power over them then claim that it's the woman's fault. Personally I like a woman to take charge in several aspects of life but most especially in the bedroom. Could she control me with sex? I suppose that depends on your point of view. We did play a game where she "let" me have my choice of sexual fantasies (within certain reasonable limits) if I finished my chores. The chores were not unreasonable and mostly consisted of things I'd have done anyways. Then she rewarded me afterwards. But most of my fantasies involved her making me her sex slave for the night. So in other words the game was I had to obediently serve her in order to earn the privilege of obediently serving her in the bedroom. Did she actually control me? Only in the sense that I let her. I suppose I could have just as easily told her that I wouldn't go down on her unless she fixed me dinner but that would have been a mistake because I adored going down on her and I'm a way better cook than her so I did most of the cooking. The fact is I absolutely loved being "controlled" by her especially with the bedroom games that followed and she was never mean about it unless being mean was part of the fantasy script in the bedroom. What really gave her control was the fact that she earned twice as much money as I did. I was a machinist earning $45k a year and she worked in I. T. earning $90. I paid for half of the living expenses but that left me with a minimal amount of spending money after expenses and she had a ton of left over month for spending on frivolous things. If I wanted an expensive toy she was the one that was going to pay for it. So I made up for it by being the best boyfriend I could be and yes that meant indulging her sexual whims but truth be told I feel I got the better end of the bargain all the way around, especially in the bedroom. With her looks she could have had any millionaire or college stud she wanted. She chose me, at least for a few years. And yes I could have walked away any time I wanted and eventually did when her demands in the bedroom went beyond what I was interested in.

Women have more power in many aspects nowadays. Court, social media attention, the dating world and in bed. Nowadays where society is pushing their gender equality agendas, in the corporate world, they're prioritizing females over men just because there's not enough females in at a higher level, regardless of how they compare to others in terms of credentials.

The fact of the matter is, there is a difference in pay between men and women at higher levels of corporate jobs BECAUSE men are generally more confident, assertive and dominant, which plays a factor in their comfort level asking for raises, getting promotions and their ability to lead in those higher positions. I'm not saying that all women are not dominant, confident and assertive. I'm just saying there are more men than men that have those traits. And now, regardless of that, companies are just throwing women job with credentials that may be lesser than mens just so they can say they believe in gender equality.

There are so many more benefits to being a woman nowadays than a man. Men are emasculated and keep their primal desires hidden when it comes to the bedroom, because one word from a girl about rape and that's a sentence in jail that will ruin your life. It's funny because most girls always ask guys to be aggressive and dominant in bed and yet treat us differently in person. It's a very confusing concept.

Women don’t want/need attention from men, it’s the other way around lmao. Literally nobody jokes about a girl or calls her a “virgin” as an insult.

Men carry a thirst for sex and sexual access and women hold the keys. In that sense, women do have an innate power.

Xitomyth · Answer

Because, at least here in the US because I haven't been anywhere else yet, the law and views of society, contrary to popular belief, tends to be biased in favor of women right now. Divorce, rape, jobs, etc., are all preconceived that the woman is the victim or at least not the aggressor to be begin with. Not to belittle the women, or anyone, that are actual victims and getting a bad shake, but in this day and age you can't even compliment a woman without being accused of something if you're a dude. As for sex, it is a proven fact that sex can be use as form of psychological programming due to the chemicals, hormones, and such involved in sex. When used in certain ways, sex can parallel certain effects of torture, indoctrination, and/or addiction. Sex is a two way street, it takes two to tango, so you have to know how all involved think and react in order to use it effectively for power. Ask the psychologists, or there students, and they will tell you that everything is about sex (thanks Freud) except sex, sex is about power. Look up the story of Adam and Lilith. This is nothing new. Although I do believe Freud was on to something, his theory is more incomplete than incorrect in my opinion.

razelove · Answer

It's young women that hold more power. More power to earn, and destroy lives. Women earn more

Men do not have the same opportunities and programs available. The route we have if abused, raped, or sexually harassed by a male or female is to suck it up buttercup. I have been through all three and know oh the joys of actually reporting and how not only is nothing done, but you are a pariah. Also how quickly do you think a male only study group or scholarship would be shut down rather than funded? There are plenty of female only safe spaces and scholarships. Google female only space and male only space. One is recognized as a right, the other ridiculed.

It's a belief because with every bit of power and influence that women hold over men, rather than saying, hey, let's tackle this fucked up shit together, the approach is, yes, time for vengeance on that toxic masculinity, over and over again.

Maybe I'm just extremely unlucky as far as those situations go, maybe recent history is wrong, and I would like to believe it is few women rather than many promoting and pushing that ideology. Every year supporting that suspension of disbelief is harder and harder though.

Anonymous · Answer

Because feminist extremism is pushing the narrative. Girls/women today feel like they can act like a bitch (pardon my language) and have her piece of the cake to. Meaning more women today feel like they can act rude, use their body and act like they are the boss. I have seen it happen many, many, many times. If there are cases relating to rape or stalking, police will be on the side of women/girls. And rightfully so, it does happen for females I’m not saying it doesn’t. But there are women who have lied about it to win money by a famous male athlete or a male musician or male actor. Heck, even on twitter there are girls who pose as “goddesses” even as young as 17 to kick men in the balls and get paid money by those guys. Why is twitter allowing a fetish by old men and young girls. Women are far from perfect. It’s like these girls have no values and no morals and have crappy parents who didn’t teach her right from wrong. But I do believe feminism will collapse and girls/women who act this way or behave this way will get slapped in the face with fear and reality, that’s life. I want to see women succeed, but I want women to be hard workers, gracious, nice, but also assertive. That’s just my take, to the poster you may disagree with me but what I said does happen you can’t deny that, this is 2021 not 1821.

GnatSocks · Answer

It was a boomer adage of saying to just let the woman get her way in everything in the relationship because that will make you not fight/her sleep with you. I don't care about boomer wisdom. That's not really how relationships are supposed to work. At the end of the day, you should stop trying to control each other. Don't try to be manipulative with sex or attention, either guy or girl. Be with someone you get along with and communicate. Instead of being manipulative just tell the other person what you would like for them to do, no strings or implications.

Savage_Wisdom · Answer

It's not about sex, although that is one of the tools women tend to use in a relationship. It's more about the fact that all a woman has to do is point at some random guy and say "rape" and that's it, his life is over and will never be the same again. The #MeToo and #BelieveWomen movements have taken serious issues that deserve attention and respect, and perverted them into a free use "nuke a guys life" button. When a woman can literally end a man's life with a single word, and the man can't do anything in his defense because the world automatically believes he's guilty. I don't know what else to call that but power. I understand that not all women are like that, most wouldn't make such an accusation baselessly. But some will. I don't think you're the type of woman who would abuse that power, but you have to acknowledge and respect the power that the world has given you with that one word.

Anonymous · Answer

This is my opinion and I have nothing against women. We men think as women can get anything they want by either with sex in a relationship.

In the workplace by saying the metoo movement and equality. I don’t disagree with equality and equal opportunity and rights for women and men to be the same but equality and equal opportunity should be for everyone in the world not different doesn’t matter the country and cultural background.
In the workplace it should be based on the skills and desire to learn on the job for everyone and not by screaming the women equality. I don’t know how people judge in terms of when people apply for jobs within different industries but I went for an entry level administration job in marketing and I didn’t get selected they didn’t tell me why not when they said no looking for people with experience. Later I found out from a person I studied with they got a job and other people as well. I was the only one they didn’t take and majority of the people they took was women to show they’re equal opportunity company. So I believe women have the power and men don’t have any in this world as we like to think. Also the saying goes there’s always a woman behind a man who supports him but men are women’s puppets. So women are pulling their strings.

I applied for many jobs in marketing but never got a single response from anyone. Same happens in when looking for relationships as well. Women go to the opposite direction from me and wants hot guys and who they can control instead they say who will support us and take care of us and stuff. They want bad boys not nice guys.

JDavid25 · Answer

Well TBH women do have a lot of power.. Look at onlyfans for example.. The top earners are women.. That girl "bhad barbie" barely even started an onlyfans and they already gave her over a million dollars.. Women can go online and not have any discernable skills but simply be cute, and they get all types of Simps on them.. Dating apps are usually just to prop up women's ego.. Many of them don't actually care to date most of the profiles they see... The truth is women have more control over guys than ever before at least in America, because many guys lack self control, and discipline (including me) in certain areas and are lonely.. When you a re lonely and lack a purpose and are free to indulge in all types of things, the result is you give these women unneeded power and attention..

Jjpayne · Answer

I think it's a woman's presence. But there is something to being sexy and confident.  But there is also, the idea of what is done in a marriage too and that is another form of female control

Floppy2112 · Answer

"You cannot and repeat cannot control anybody with sex." Oh bullshit! I have seen it. What I am not saying is that it was all the woman's fault, but what I am saying is she is still controlling them with sex, they just happen to be willing participants and letting themselves get controlled.
I have seen people go completely out of whack because of sex. It's a powerful motivator and it can be used to manipulated. As a matter of fact, I would venture to guess that most people are strongly motivated by sex and occasionally that motivation gets abused.

Miristheiss · Answer

Sexual power?
Women have the power to attract and make a man desire them.
Men have the power of not caring.
Many can have sex and not care if he ever sees her again and can leave after getting sex.
Since many women desire commirment and relationships this can leave them frustrated too.

FilmGuy93 · Answer

I think it's because we see it with our own eyes. Women have a huge amount of influence, and it's shocking to me that they don't realize/acknowledge it. Take the women's soccer pay gap situation as a perfect example. Those women were offered the same pay structure as the men's team a few years ago and they shot it down because having benefits (health, vision insurance, maternity leave, etc.) and a salaried position on the team provided more, guaranteed income than the men get. The one single way that men get more money is through one time performance bonuses (which are only possible because the men aren't getting salaries and benefits); but it's not more money overall. The women are just upset because they want bigger win bonuses. Now they are waving the arms and making all this noise about pay discrimination because they know that upset women can pull on the public's heartstrings, even though their claim lacks basis in fact.

Browneye57 · Answer

Only when they weaponize sex. It should never be any kind of bargaining tool - good or bad, to influence behavior, with the reward or deprivation of sex.
Just shut that shit down really early on. It doesn't work.
Hell, most young women don't want the guy to pay for a date cuz SHE things this obligates her for sex. Simply ridiculous.

Kenneth14621 · Answer

I tell you what. I am not gonna give a girl too much attention if she doesn't fuck me. Especially if she is my girlfriend. What I mean is. I am a very nice guy and have been all my life. So girls, and people too but we are talking about girls so, want to just friend zone me and use me because they enjoy what I am saying and treat me like shit. I am so sick of that I DO NOT give a fuck anymore. I will tell you to get the F away from me. If I do not find you mentally stimulating... we are not going to be "friends". Good looking girls have a problem with this. Because they are used to using guys like that to stimulate them mentally, and not give back any mental stimulation, but keep the guy being their friend because they like the way they look. I still to the day have good looking girls that cannot figure out why I am not their friend.

MCheetah · Answer

Why do men think that women have so much power? Because some women can destroy a man's life with a lie of rape or sexual assault with literally NO evidence needed. And in Amber Heard's case, even when the woman literally admits guilt on tape, in her own voice, she can still get away with it. Regarding your details... Men are hardwired to have sex. It's literally in our DNA to reproduce. Women take advantage of and use this power for their own means. In some rare instances, men take advantage of women for this goal of sex, as well.

Kaneki05 · Answer

I mean they do in sexual ways for sure. Otherwise there wouldn't be women who can sell there bath water for tons of money cough cough bella. Or only fans or strip clubs. And women can for sure control men with sex there is a thing called pussywhipped for a reason.
There is obviously guys who won't indulge in such things but for every guy that don't there will be a guy who does. For every guy that cannot be pusswhipped one can be. Whether the women has the confidence to play off a man's lust is another question. But if they can it for sure does work.
Women and Men have a lot of advantages just in different ways.

It really does have any thing to do with that,, that might be the words someone might use , but to be honest has to do with respect it might not seem like it but down deep that's what it is knowledge loyalty and respect and if you do look in this matter because have that power that is given to her probably for all the women that I know are that are my friends that's the power that I look at them having to because they must believe in that and become that right now because who knows where this world is headed and I want women to gain strength I don't want them to lose anything and I think women should demanded it

Anonymous · Answer

Women do have the power in a relationship. Let a man and woman get into a dispute. Woman goes to whoever will listen and gains their sympathy. BAM! Man is automatically the monster. All a woman has to do is say some magic words and she can destroy a man's life or reputation. Yes, a woman can be labelled a slut, but even that title is somehow a badge of honor in today's society. That's about all a man can really do to a woman. Anything else and the law will reign fire and brimstone on him. Once kids get involved, women gain even more power because they can make a man's life hell by taking his kids away.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

Women DO have a lot of power! They have the power to say NO. But I think a lot of women don't realize the power that they have.

But part of the problem is that the bad guys aren't afraid of the word No. And maybe the good guys are extra cautious just because they don't want to be misidentified as one of the bad ones.

Anonymous · Answer

I am not sure its power necessarily, But when it comes to relationship dynamics, Women choose who they will have sex with, men choose who they will marry..

When it comes to legal stuff, women certainly have the power, Even a simple accusation of rape or sexual assault can land a man in prison without trial.. Women win child custody cases 90% of the time leaving the father as a visitor in his own children's life. Even if the mother is an abusive drug addict she is more likely to get custody of the kids.

A few things.

As a man I’ve been accused of things, and my fellow men have been accused of things that did not even occur, Out of spite. I have also done wrong in my life and through these things I’ve learned that some men come with pure intentions but obsession and infatuation can twist and warp you deeply mentally, even spiritually. The men who never leave that cycle never see anything wrong with themselves or the things they are doing and so instead they blame women. Unfortunately the only thing you can do as a man is further yourself instead of becoming obsessive which leads to neediness bringing you to rejection, leading to misogyny.

It all depends on your viewpoint i think. I'll agree you cannot make a man stay. But you can kepp making him come back. if it's good enough. And i think that's what guys are talking about.

Well, as a man: try to win a legal battle against a woman that's accused you of rape. Even if you end up winning (lucky you), you're still stuck with the stigma of a rapist anyway.
