Will women ever decide whether they want to be treated as equals or princesses?

Question

Kristen - "Sorry", but having a superiority complex doesn't mean you're superior...

Answer 1

Respect is what women want! If you respect a woman she will feel like a princess and in return she will make you feel like a prince!

Answer 2

From having dealt with this issue from a workplace viewpoint, women like all that have gotten "protected" status, no longer want equality, they want superior treatment! Princess? only only on a whim! Chivalry applies only when they want it, and don't expect them to pick up the restaurant tab unless they want something! The attitude is that they are owed!
Some will say both, but the answer is neither! If you wait on the princess hand and foot, one day it will be OK, the next day discrimination!

Answer 3

from my own point of view, its great for me to have both, its all depending on the circumstances that we're being through. if am in a position that i need to be treated equal then I'll pick it. and if am in a position that needed to make me feel princess then I'll go for it.

in my practical life, work field and professional life i would like to be treated equally because this is fare for all parities.

and at home with my husband and family i would like to be treated as princess. barring in mind that there is alot of times u just live equally even at home. we share alot of things working outside getting money and working inside and feeling a family.

adding to that female nature, needs to be independent asking for equal treatment. in same time she have needs that make her week or in need to be treated as princess. its a complex creature i know.. :)

Answer 4

Some of us have. I've chosen equality myself. Treat me like a princess and I will smite you.

Answer 5

The answers to questions like this often seem a little bitter,from both genders.It is a lot like asking...Will men ever decide if they want to be little boys playing with toys(wanna be player) or grown men able to put away childish things(husband and father)? The truth is at some point in everyones life they want more then one thing but when we grow up we normally pick the one that makes us happy.

Answer 6

To answer your question, no. They will not choose one or the other. Ever. This is because it is more convenient to reap the benefits of both, and they will continue to do so as long as they are given carte blanch by society.

When a woman says she wants to be equal, she means she wants total license. That is, she wants to be able to behave in any manner she wishes without regard to the consequences. When she says she wants to be treated like a princess she means she wants the authority to have her whims catered to no matter how contradictory they might be, but not be expected to behave in a ladylike manner.

Always remember:

A man puts his hand into the fire and curses himself. A woman puts her hand into the fire and curses the fire...

Answer 7

I would like to be treated as a princess first, an equal later.
I voted, it didn't do much good.

Answer 8

Our society is confused. Women have developed an equal ego, but retain their feminine instincts to nurture and the need to be protected and honored. What a mess. Men aren't sure if they should open the car door for the woman, or just hand her the keys. I can't even think about dating. Am I supposed to offer to pick up the check? Do guys even dare ask a woman out nowadays? Or is that considered sexist? If I make more money than a guy, is that offensive, or is it an opportunity for him to be irresponsible? Who makes the decisions, the one who makes the most money, or the one who handles money the best? If a woman makes a sexual overture, is she still considered a slut, or is she now just liberated? Do guys want to do the advancing, or do they like the woman coming on to them? If a woman works in the construction business, can she still be feminine, or do guys draw the line at some point? Do men want women who are less intelligent than themselves, just as intelligent, or more intelligent? What about women?

Some of those are rhetorical questions, obviously, but I've heard them all being asked lately. Men are being constantly confused. I know I'm confused. Men are being asked to stop treating women like they need to be protected, and yet we still need to be protected. Women want equality, but they still want to be pampered like a little girl. Women want equal responsibility, but don't seem to want to give equal credit. I've heard more and more women saying that now they wish they could just stop work and stay home with the kids. Huh!? They are exhausted from trying to compete with men and women, jump through imaginary hoops to get that ever-elusive kudo, run home, cook, take care of the kids, if they have them, pacify the husband, if they have one, and try to convince themselves that this is what they want.

I know I'm gonna get the thumbs down on this, but I just can't agree with the whole "equal" rights thing. I am a writer, and I've raised three kids, and I liked it the way it was. I like to take care of the house, and cook dinner, and do the laundry my way. I want my husband to be happy to come home, and not burden me with the chaos of the world. I want to be protected. I want the car doors opened for me, and I want the guy to swagger just a little. I want my kids to know that I'm there for them, they can count on me to teach them morality, integrity, honesty, and consistency, not the teachers or their friends. Sure, I want to write, and if I am successful, then I'll use that success to help my family, but I won't abandon my family for the sake of success. I want my husband or boyfriend to appreciate my intelligence, but I want to appreciate his intelligence too. I don't want to be treated as a child, but I don't want to be treated as his mother either. Yes, I want to be treated as a princess, but only by a prince.

Answer 9

Sounds like you have had a bad experience with certain women.

Not all women are the same and there are so many of them out there.

Your question is like me saying " Will men ever decide whether they want to marry their girlfriend or marry their mother"

Like I said..all men and women are different!!

Answer 10

we want both.We want to be treated as equals because if anything we are far more superior to men sorry and we want to be treated as princesses.We treat you niclely so we deserve it to.
