Why are men afraid of strong and feminist women?

Question

AncientWisdom · Accepted Answer

They aren’t. That’s another delusional female idea. What you have is a growing culture of males that hate feminists.
The first wave of modern feminism was a bunch of racist white women who wanted equality for white women.
The second wave was what I call the true feminists who want equality. They fought for it my mother was among them marching across the country. These women were incredible people. They achieved their goals.
Then this last bunch took over. They are about the emasculation of men , and the complete dismantling of the male half of the species. They are about to undo everything the rest fought for , they have caused an entire culture of men that utterly hate females. (In a war against men you have no hope of winning.) That do not respect females , and never will. Marriage is down 51% in the last decade and falling. Childbirth is down. Men are waking up , and we are not signing up for female bullshit. Violence is up , against females it’s going to continue to rise. Women have asked for this to happen , by abusing their new found equality.
As for me personally , because of my observations over the last 20 years or so. I will not help women any longer. If they are broken down on the road I will keep driving I used to stop not any more.
If I see one being attacked I’m going to mind my own business. I may wonder what she done for a minute , but I will lose no sleep over it.
I will not hire a woman for anything. I will not contribute anything to the female side of this species any longer. I do this because this is what females have shown me they want.
I feel it needs to be this way until society plays fair with men again. Men are human beings we aren’t just a disposable cock with a wallet. Females have forgotten this men are realizing it. Y’all shot yourselves in the foot , and are to stupid to see what you’ve done.

Sometimes I think my idea of strength might vary a bit from many of theirs and even many men these days. I remember ad campaigns saying it's sexist to call women bossy in a derogatory way, for example, but I don't think being bossy is a sign of strength. Sometimes we need to be bossy in a leadership position if people are really out of line to protect other people, but I think it should be a last resort strategy.

The whole point of dominating a situation as I see it is to protect people. It's not to control people. It's not even to dominate people, but the situation. If a building catches on fire, those of us who can keep our cool step up to the plate and lead in order to guide people to safety. It's not to get on some power trip. It's to put other people's well-being above our own. When people do this, I think they are truly strong regardless of their sex, and I think people who do this are the most admirable and strongest human beings on the planet. But many people's ideas of strength make me question if they are really utilizing it to protect people.

they don't like strong feminist woman because these women represent power, independence, capability. They are afraid of independent women who can leave him any time she wants. Reality is, housewives are completely dependent on their husbands for survival. Housewives cannot survive without their husbands so as a result , he can mistreat her or do the bare minimum for her and he will trust that she will still stick by him. Housewives tend to get cheated on a lot by their husbands too. Because she needs him more than he needs her.

Independent women can afford to ditch their husbands anytime their husbands no longer please them. This is why independent women are so threatening.

A lot of men out there also don't like smart, capable women because men typically have huge egos. They feel diminished dating someone who is better than them. They aren't proud of their partners but are jealous and sad.

Never ever marry a man who thinks he has right to control how his wife should live her life (such as him believing that all women should be housewives or virgins or pretty). He shouldn't have the right to "design " his own wife. Wives are separate human beings from their husbands and she has the right to dress however she wants, do whatever career she desires, or decide for herself when she dresses up.
If he's already controlling you during dating, what makes you think he won't control you more once you both hit marriage?

Never ever marry a man who won't date a more successful woman. Because once you start getting good at something that can make you decent income, they will get jealous and be the first to tell you that you should stop pursuing it. Do you really want to be around a man who suppresses your own talents for the rest of your life?

Angie221994 · Accepted Answer

I can see a lot of men in these comments don’t know what feminism is.
But if you can ask, Would you like to be treated the way society treats women? They would all say no.

Feminism is about doing what YOU want to do and not what others or society wants/expects you to do. So if you want to be a stay at home mom, go for it. If you don’t want to get married or have kids and focus on your career, do that. Or find something inbetween.

When you look at logistics. You also have to look at how society treats sexual assault against people (not just women) which is something that is being fought by feminist groups. Since a lot of offenders of SA are being let off easy.

You have to look at how the government thinks it’s okay to make laws regarding a women’s reproductive health. There’s also many doctors that refuse to do tubal litigation on women.

You have to look at family courts that put the burden of childcare on women when we should strive for 50/50 custody and eliminate child support.

It’s funny because some women say they’re not feminists. But the whole idea of feminism started because women didn’t want to be told what to do. They wanted to make their own choices. There are still women out there in situations where they don’t get to make their own choices. We still don’t have a say in our own reproductive health (just look at the 11 year old little girl from Ohio who was raped by her grandpa and not allowed to have an abortion. She died in labor).

So I think at the end of the day, it’s important not to tear down women considering women have historically been oppressed.

TwinTonyz · Answer

This is an assumption. Men are not afraid of women, but are rather disinterested in you.

That immediate assertion of weakness and cowering is evil. No one wants to be around any man or woman who walks in the room and declares "you're all afraid of me".

Most feminist women subscribe to sexism wherever it's convenient. There's few who are willing to sacrifice their privileges in dating for the good of the cause. It's likely you'd still let a man treat you a as though you're incapable of paying for anything to get a free date. Men are conscious of these hypocrisies.

Women of this disposition tend to be lacking in accountability. My feminist single man-hating mother is one such example of this which hits home. She'd changed career fields, lamenting the men's club for her not being promoted, yet frequently calls off work, shirks her responsibilities when working from home, carries herself in an abrasive manner at all times, and makes it exceedingly clear that she dislikes all her male coworkers.

It really comes down to the fact that, when associating with aggressive women, we have a lot to lose and nothing to gain. Why would I want to suffer in your presence when there are perfectly pleasant people who don't think I'm the blight of all civilization?

Lionman95 · Answer

I'd rather call it avoiding than being afraid.
Some discussions and arguments don't lead to a point and are therefore useless.
The problem for most guys I think is though they don't see a place for them to fit in because a woman saying that she could do all by herself makes guys feel their is no need for them being there.
We guys call ourself problem-solvers we define ourselves by what we do.
Just being around seems to be unreasonable or useless to us Iif doesn't serve a reason.
As you girls don't want misogynistic guys we also don't to experience the feeling of being used.
A woman that says she's independent and could anything we also could do if not even better gives at least some of us the feeling that we're just toyboys she could use when she needs them.
Secondly it's also a clash of world views many guys have been raised as providers.
We're raised and shown by role models that guys are providers in a relationship.
It's our job to take care have a lead and so on. A woman claiming the same role leads us to the question of who to be in the relationship.

Lifeisgucci19 · Answer

I don’t think they’re afraid of them. I think they’re annoyed with them. Modern feminism at least. It’s gone so far. Women in college and even high school are training younger women that men are just dogs who want to grope women and that women are just objects to men, and any time a guy would compliment me one of my cock blocking feminist friends in college would tell him to leave me alone. All he said was that I have pretty hair. They’ve taken everything to such a fucking crazy extreme. It’s not about equality anymore. I’m tired of the whole “life is harder to make it as a woman” thing too. Like actually I got better jobs over most men I competed for the roles with! How is it harder for American women to get ahead these days? Stop believing these crazy women about these things. They’ll only fuck things up and leave you unhappy.
Men don’t even approach women anymore which is sad because I love when a guy comes and talks to me. But feminists have complained that that’s just annoying and we don’t want them, which in turn hurts feminine women who want a masculine guy to approach her while out.

iamacuriousguy · Answer

Men are not afraid of them. Men avoid them because they are emotionally toxic and suffer from some sort of personality disorder. femenists can't get along with anybody, because they have rejected their own femininity and see it as bad or some sort of weakness.
Normal women don't like men who want to act like women and normal men don't like women who want to act like men, the feminists are doing. This is why men avoid femenists, as they are toxic, stobborn mean, bitter and angry all the time. Their life is hell, they are the biggest delusional losers, so why would men like them and make their lives hell with them. Nobody likes abusive entitled people.
Men like faminity, but faminists believe famininity is not beautiful, that's why the try to act like men as they unconsciously relate masculanity with better gender. I would say, femenists are actually enemies of women. So why would anybody take these people with nonsense personality disorders seriously. One can see, dishonesty, hate, failure and entitlement on their faces. One can see how much they are suffering. So they carry so much baggage and nonsense that men don't like.

Anonymous · Answer

Because feminism is no longer about equality. What modern feminists strive for is inequality. They want all of the privileges of men with none of the responsibilities that go with it. They also want to retain the privileges women have and they do have them, without those responsibilities. "Believe all women" was a thing that we have all heard, but where is the responsibility to prove it?
I saw a woman on Twitter during #MeToo saying that if innocent men get sent to jail it's a sacrifice she is willing to make. What sacrifice is she making there? She's sacrificing someone else.
I saw someone mention correctly that feminists are interested in equality of jobs that come with power and money, but not in the male dominated jobs that don't. The majority of trash collectors are males. If feminists wanted across the board equality, why aren't they fighting for more women in that job? Why aren't they interested in balancing the sentences for criminal offenses between men and women? It's because a man will get a greater sentence than a woman and they want no part of that. They don't get in a huff when a woman gets the majority of assets in a divorce or when breast cancer research receives much greater funding than testicular cancer or when a woman can abuse her husband and then claim to be the victim when he defends himself and be believed. Why is that?
The day that feminists want actual equality, I will proudly call myself a feminist.

Oigit · Answer

In general I don't care and it is very much for the same reason I don't support ether political party. I think for myself, want my questions answered and refuse to fall in line because I am being told to do so. Things a great if you are willing to stop thinking for yourself and dance on the strings you are expected to dance on. Do anything but that it creates an issue and makes you an issue. If that means being the target for many peoples hatred I'm ok with it.

Also I was raised by a single mother who first diagnosed with cancer in her teens. A month who has also developed other types of cancer on top of the one she already has. When I hear someone saying they are a strong man or women, I instantly think they are weak. Because a strong person doesn't need to tell everyone they are. Also because my mothers health issues and my childhood would leave them crying like a preschooler.

hahahmm · Answer

Men don't fear women. More like a lot of women decided to act masculine, totally self-centered disrespect men, not be loyal to boyfriend/husband and then want to whine when men reject them for such repulsive traits.

A few men still haven't figured out that it doesn't matter if a feminists looks good or not.. she's still bad for a relationship so they make the mistake of giving attention to women just because they look good physically. Eventually all women who treat men poorly will be in the same boat as the 450 pound women with short green/blue hair. Men are evolving quickly.

Wraith_Cemetery · Answer

"Strong and feminist" women. HAH. The Feminists I've run into in public and online are some of the weakest, insecure, moronic, full of anger, pathetic individuals I've ever met. They lack any kind of logic in their arguments and are constantly throwing insults. I'm not afraid of them. I feel pity for them and want nothing to do with them.

REAL independent and strong women I have no problem with. I respect them. They don't feel the need to belittle, argue, show off, strip down naked on their Instagram accounts, and put down others to make themselves feel better.

Anonymous · Answer

Most people, when they think of the word “feminist”, they think of those triggered angry SJW twats that we see videos of on YouTube and other social medias. So I don’t think men are scared of them, I think men simply assume all feminists are triggered angry SJW twats and therefore men avoid them. I can’t blame them either.

In my eyes a feminist is someone who believes in equal rights for women and men, and it’s someone who’s strongly against misogyny and mistreatment of women. Not all feminists are women either.

These stupid women on social media who screech at men and make fools of themselves on video, who consider themselves to be social justice warriors, I don’t consider them feminists at all. I consider them to be misandrist and overall brain dead.

Qdbrown · Answer

Not sure if you understand men? A man will date and sex up a feminist.

Just don't marry a feminist. This kind of woman will make a horrible partner. They are not very feminine, will be outspoken, loud, aggressive and hard to deal with. Most feminist are educated, which taken as a whole gives a marriage less than 10% survivability rate, which is much worse than average marriages.

Facing overwhelmed failure, and all the costs and stress to with it, and the bonus on losing his family, why marry a feminist?

rooster44 · Answer

I think some of them have had a few bad experiences.

One bad apple spoils the bunch.

There are also people in positions of power purposely soiling public opinion on feminists because it suits their needs.

There's also some feminists that have had bad experiences with men who now have trouble trusting men at all. Some men might interpret that mistrust as hate.

Of course these are all exceptions, not the rule. Not everyone wakes up and decides to be a misogynist or a misandrist. A lot of times people are acting on the various mis informations that have been fed to them.

Personally I'm not afraid of a strong feminist woman. The only way I have an issue with a strong feminist woman is if she wants to become strong by making me feel not strong. Our success as men and as women should be equal. Not a competition.

Unknown_Swan_ · Answer

As a guy, I couldn't care less.

It is of your own freewill and democratic choice to be a 'strong' and 'feminist' woman.
So it shouldn't be up to anyone to interrupt that.

Say now there are a lot of hypocrites out there, both male and female, and it fouls the waters.
You get some men hating on women and you get some women hating on men.
The Internet and Social Media has made it worse.

In my view as long as long as men and women get on with their lives, without interfering with mine, I'm fine with anyone.

This is why some muslim/ middleeastern women lie about their income or quit their job lol Do you mean these men? My muslim friend wanted to study medicine but she was scared that she will triggers her potential husband. I personally did not see any western guy who could not stand financially independent women.
Questions like this also only provoke people or make it worse for feminism. So i dont believe you seriously care about feminism or women rights or whatever

libsaretards · Answer

First, there is a huge difference between a strong woman and a feminist.

Feminists are idiots who do not know what they are even saying. They are very annoying. Nobody is afraid of a feminist. We are simply too smart to deal with their stupidity. The rights the original feminists fought for have already been achieved.

A strong woman is highly desired. A strong woman is confident in who she is and is an equal contributor to the relationship, whatever that means for each couple. She is someone a man can entrust everything to. She has integrity and is willing to help a man in his time of need as he would her. A strong woman knows that not every kind gesture from a man means he is putting her down or feels she is helpless.

LogicBomber · Answer

Feminist are mentally insane children with false victim complexes who use societies gynocentric kid gloving as a weapon to destroy and attack anyone who doesn’t agree with their bullshit by playing the victim.

It’s easy to claim you are strong when you live in a society created, maintained, and advanced on the blood of men who give their lives to make your life comfortable and easy. A society where 99% of all deadly work is done by men so you can be comfortable. A society that literally caters to your every whim, removes all (real) obstacles from your path, and literally coddles you.

tallcuck · Answer

You misunderstand man. Man do not like jerks, evil, psychopatic man, narcissistic man and other types of monsters. Strong women and feminists are just like those man other man hate. Women that feel feared or hated should look into mirror sometimes, not to apply make up more, but to see themselves finaly for what they are. Strong women are man with vaginas and more often than not have a personality disorder. Who likes psychos and narcs and other maniacs?

Strong women have chosen the wrong type of man to emulate to be liked.

Jay3344 · Answer

I think the question lacks specifics. You’re generalizing too much. Why are “some” men…. also strong and feminist women, with this these can be great adjectives for women but sometimes a woman’s personality contains many adjectives. So she may be strong, but she may lack interpersonal skills. Or she may be feminist, but she may also have an aggressive attitude even in relaxed situations. So some men may not be afraid of the strength or the feminist views, they may just avoid people who are not going to allow others to be comfortable and able to express themselves. This is true for men who are strong and have masculine views. Two way street and sometimes people mistake avoidance for fear. People in general like to avoid conflict and confrontation.

yearningforlife · Answer

The reason why most men ( and women ) are afraid of strong women is because they are not a real man and can’t handle a strong lady. A strong confident women knows what she wants in life and won’t settle and some don’t honestly want a strong partner in their life.

Men aren't afraid of them. There's nothing wrong with being a strong and a feminist woman. They just dislike misandrists just like women dislike misogynists. Both of them are toxic. For example, if you villainize all men and call them rapists then you're not a feminist but really a misandrist.

Because they think feminists are against men. Two things caused this...
One, women have more boundaries in dating today. They say no, demand more than the bare minimum and they are assertive. Many guys were taught that's not how girls should be so so they don't really find the pure, submissive and spineless girl they look for.
Second, because of the misinformation spread about the movement and feminists in general. They truly believe that they want superiority, not equality.
