Why do women always think they're as good or better than guys in everything?

Answer 1

Women require constant reinforcement to get anything done. If they're not constantly being pushed, encouraged, or told how great they are, they collapse in a puddle of negative self-esteem. That's why from grade school all the way to retirement you'll hear the feminist cheerleading squad going nuts just trying to get the women to break even.

Answer 2

We don't. Of course not, but what you mean by "women" and "men" does make a difference. If you mean women as A GROUP compared to men AS A GROUP, then the question becomes more difficult. "As good or better" is really only quantifiable on an individual basis. There are some things that, VERY generally speaking, women are "better" at than men, and the same is true in reverse. Women are supposed to be "better" at communicating, while men are supposed to be "better" at visual/spatial organization. (such as giving diretcions, following, ect.) Of course, neither of these, or any generalization, is always true. And of course, "superiority" in any of these things does not make anyone REALLY better than anyone else. I prefer to look at it on an individual basis, since generalizations are, to a certain degree, inherently unfair (there will ALWAYS be many to whom generalization just don't apply.) And on an individual basis, gender flies out the window, because you are then comparing ALL individuals. A good comparison is my husband and me. When we work on projects together (home improvement, cooking, etc.) we each bring different talents and strengths to the table. My husband is really good at "big picture" thinking. He can "visualize" the necessary steps to accomplishing the whole thing, and get it done. I am much more "detail oriented," so I am really good at "quality control." He makes sure the project gets done, and I make sure the project is "high quality." Without each other, I would take FOREVER, and maybe not get it done at all, and my husband would get it done, and FAST, but it might not look as great, or be of the highest quality. One is not more important than the other, both are necessary, and complement each other well, and that's how I view the whole Men vs. Women thing, in general. As a society as a whole, we need each other and what each of us brings to the table, we would be incomplete, otherwise.

Answer 3

I think in most tasks, competence depends on the individual, not the gender. People keep making the mistake of having a 'us and them' argument and not focusing on their competence at a job. For instance, I know plenty of guys who haven't the first idea about the innards of their car, while I service and make minor repairs to mine and can usually work out what's wrong with it when there's a problem. On the other hand, there are loads of guys that know more about them than I do.

There are some things that are literally impossible for one gender to be better at than the other (i.e. giving birth), but the rest is one big grey area. A lot of fields, due to general propensity or socialisation, are dominated by one gender or the other, though there will generally be a few people from the opposite gender who excell at it.

I say enough of the 'us and them' crap. Let's just get on with life.

Because we're smart enough to let them think that. By screwing things up and letting women think they're better at everything, they leave us alone to watch TV while they do the work, figuring we'll just make matters worse.

Need an example? Try putting your wife's best white shirt in the laundry with her red underwear... she'll never ask you to do laundry again.

Answer 5

I don't think they do. It sounds like you work and live in an environment where women excel or are in their element.
I once worked for 4 years in an environment where I spoke to in excess of 25,000 people per year of both sex's, many races and from all over the world. I gained the impression women were enjoying the new found challenge of their place in society which gave the impression they new more as they became confident. In reality many women have a wider base of general knowledge for various reasons. example: sex & having a good time doesn't occupy most of their waking hours. I personally enjoy talking to women far more than males as most are not afraid to open up.

Answer 6

They don't think it, some are just very self concious, they have something to prove all the while, a permanent chip on the shoulder, to show they will not be dominated but go a little too far over the balance point sometimes. Those that act like normal human beings are the ones that it is easiest for men to be around.

Answer 9

It's pretty clear after 22 answers you got one intelligent response, maybe two with a shred of intelligence, and the rest are f*cking idiotic.

It's also pretty clear that women are just as capable as men of posting unconsidered, totally moronic answers.

Answer 10

Many women are better than many men at many things. Many men are better than many women at many other things. It"s life. Many people, men and women, put more time into worrying and arguing about who is best at whatever then they do in simply getting better at the things they could do, want to do, or must do It's life. Get used to it.
