    Every one is scared of a strong independent woman. Most men in a high management have no dealings with strong willed females. To be honest I think most men are afraid of this type of woman.

    Because these "independent" women want to have their cake and eat it too. You want equal rights? Fine, how about equal risks and responsibilities? And if you want to be modern, ladies, don't expect a traditional husband who earns more than you.

    It's not wrong but it's unattractive. The equivalent of a man who lives in his mom's basement with no job. It's his choice, it's not wrong. But would you want to date a man like that, with no ambition? Men are attracted to lady-like women, and one of the traits that make a woman lady-like is liking children and enjoy taking care of them. It's just feminine and hot

    Just don't return here on gag and start posting questions about how depressed you are because you've become the workhorse of a corporate giant and your life sucks. Swallow your anti-depressants and go to your job which probably is no job at all.

    Because when it comes to relationships they are useless with nothing to offer. So if they like being single forever then its good they can be feminist career women and men won't waste their time dating them except for sex only.

    Real independent women are ok.. But those are the ones that dont brag about it, they aren't activists, they aren't feminists.. They are strong women.. My wife is like that.. the ones that advertise it, the ones that tout "I dont need no man" Are 9 times out of 10 insufferable and full of narcissism.. And honestly are worth nothing more than a pump and dump.

      It is when they actively see men as the enemy, when they protest male domestic violence shelters, and when they seek to destroy the family. There are only three feminists in this world that I respect, two of which I have met, Cassie Jaye, and Christina Hoff Sommers. The third one is on here.. And will not be named
