I've met a few women, (not sure if they were feminists or not) who will do this to me, and I end up feeling like just by the act of me disagreeing, someone will say, "oh, it's because of your ego".
Like for example; your working on a project. You just started. A woman comes over & in a harsh way, tells you what you have is terrible because it doesn't look finished. You get a little irritated that she doesn't realize you just started & say that it doesn't look right because you just started. She then says, "why are you so defensive?" You say your not being defensive, your just stating the fact that you just started so ofcourse it doesn't look right yet. She then says, "you don't take criticism well & I think it's because of your ego. You seemed to have attitude when I told your project looked wrong."
So it seems that in order to not be seen as being controlled by ego, the guy can only blindly agree with her statement. This seems wrong.
What are your thoughts?
