What do you think about strong independent woman?

Let me tell you about my aunt - she took over her uncle's construction trucking company when she was 23, after working for him for 4 years, and she successfully ran that company for 37 years. And just for context, construction trucks are not like highway trucks with air conditioning, sleepers, and TVs - they're old, loud, bare, and uncomfortable, because they were made to WORK. Given that, try to imagine the men that work as construction truckers, hauling around rock and hot asphalt and scrap metal, and shoveling and doing maintenance in the hottest, coldest, and wettest weather. They're tough, gruff men - and my aunt was their boss and was respected by those men, and respected by the men who hired her company for their projects. I'd say that if anyone qualified as "strong and independent", she would.

Yet, she was married to my uncle until he died last year - 58 years of marriage. And my aunt would NEVER describe herself as "strong and independent" - she would describe herself as a wife and a mother who happened to own a business. She worked her business 12 hours a day, 6 days a week - and was proudest of her FAMILY.

The women who describe themselves as "strong and independent" are almost universally liars - desperate to convince themselves, along with everyone else, of their lies. There are plenty of women who ARE strong and independent, but they don't need to tell anyone they are those things - everyone already knows without anyone having to say anything.

@LazerBean has it exactly right: it's the fakers and liars that people have a problem with. And those self-described "strong and independent" women are almost universally unhappy, among the most medicated, and are most likely to complain about how they are victims of society and specifically victims of men - because they're expected to compete in the same business market as men do.

Nothing in particular but I'm not sure if I consider her for a relationship because what's the point of being in a relationship with a person that gives you the vibe that they get along well with or without you?

To the commenters, I think the Lady was just asking a question, it really only needed a simple answer, this site called girls ask guys after all lol I don’t we need to read a thesis.

[LazerBean]

Most people like strong, independent women. It's the noisy counterfeits that people have a problem with.

a “strong and independent“ woman is an oxymoron because women live in a society that literally removes all obstacles from their path and does everything in its power to help them succeed in life, and will come to their rescue anytime they need assistance.

it’s easy to be strong when you never actually have to do anything for yourself
and
it’s easy to be independent when you never have to worry about taking responsibilities for your actions or your choices.

This phrase is often used to describe a quite obnoxious girl in a euphemistic way :D
But if ''strong'' and ''independent'' comes without any Karen attitudes... I quite like it.

[Ditto626]

Usually that's code for a rude insufferable woman who complains when men don't pay for the date or their bills.

[TheSpaceGnome]

The only women who refer to themselves as "strong and independant" are women who hate men.

Independance is a weakness by the way, strength is in numbers.

[MCheetah]

No thanks.

No strong woman has to tell the world how "strong" she thinks she is.

[007kingifrit]

they don't exist. according to a 2008 study by princeton called "the paradoxical decline in female happiness" the more women achieve this so called independence the more unhappy they are

[KrakenAttackin]

@007kingifrit. I have said this 100 times on GAG and these "modern" women just can't grasp it.

Anyone who needs to call themselves strong and independent probably isn't that strong and independent.
But otherwise I have no problem with strong independent women. I think everyone should be their own person.

[ODC2112]

Normally women who say they are strong and independent are not. Instead, they are arrogant and self-centered. God save me.

[Luopio27]

Women with uni degrees rarely date those who have only minimum wage jobs.

[Creampiekarl420]

She can only be with weak men because they refuse to submit to their husbands

[exitseven]

Very nice unless they treat me like crap.

[Adronicus]

That she can go be independent without me.

[RuthlessAggression]

I think "do you still want a man anyway?"

[RandomGuy1030]

[Anonymous]
