What's wrong with women?

Question

Why do even the most beautiful ones feel insecure about their looks? Why do even the most intelligent make foolish relationship choices? Why don't we realize that we don't need men at all, that they are only anchors around our necks? Why don't we stand up & demand better? Why don't we realize our own strength?

(Ok, this is obviously a generalization. There are many powerful women who celebrate their unique beauty & don't criticize themselves or obsess over flaws, who have healthy loving relationships or who live independently, happy without men, women with conviction, women aware of their own power -- but I'm referring to the rest of us...)

I've had a bad day...
Can you tell?!

Girl power!

Answer 2

Hi Amp. Sorry to hear you're having troubles. Before I answer all your questions, I would like to state all people, (women and men), are prone to these issues.
The insecurity about looks could be explained by the "ugly duckling syndrome". If not for that reason, then it could be because we do tend to our own biggest critics.
We make foolish mistakes in relationships because as smart as one can be, we are all human, and will make mistakes. We just need to learn from them so the same mistake doesn't happen again.
As for the rest... Men and women need each other. It has been proved people live longer when in a relationship. A relationship is something that has to be worked on from both sides. And yes I agree that women and men should never settle for someone who is not right for themselves.
I hope I have helped and I hope things turn around for you.

What have you got against men? What has a whole sex of people done to you?

Let's look on the flip side: Some men are insecure about how they look, some intelligent guys cant get laid becuase they're considered geeks, some men think that a woman makes them feel more like it man.

It's not just a women thing, eventhough some of those things might be more prominent with women. No one stoops you from standing up and deserving better. There are many female organizations out there fighting for women's rights. Women aren't allowed in combat positions. If you want better and show your strenght, why aren't the women groups protesting to be allowed in combat positions?

You have the most important commodity on the planet: vagina. Diamonds, money, love, they're all spent to get some vagina. Girl Power, yea yea, thats all great, but men aren't the anchors around your neck. You're smarter than us, you outnumber us, and you have vaginas, we're the ones who can't help ourselves.

Don't be against an entire sex.

Answer 4

I agree with you and I am a strong independent woman. Though most women i meet are the other way. I am thinking the self esteem issue must go back to their childhood, or they think its so important to have a man that they settle for any. I think that if women changed and not settle for men to treat them bad , then men would have to change. Though of course all men are not bad, there are some good ones. Women need to realize the true powers they really have and believe in themselves more

Answer 5

I get frustrated listening to women boast of newfound power. It's like we are taking a generation or two off to let women "catch up". What happened to working together? Family values? Identifying common relationship roles? I believe Archie Bunker is nearly 100% dead, but he's taking 21st century families with him.

It's important now as ever for the woman to receive equal say in the workplace, voting booth, etc., but the lack of concern for what feminism is doing to the family is inexcusable. Experience the new dimensions of strength, ladies....but don't let it go to your head. You are still one-half of the most important function you will ever have.

Ozzie and Harriet knew the well-defined family roles they presented. With all the single families, divorces, and broken homes out there today compared to 1957, I must point out it may have been better back then for everyone. While I do NOT suggest reversing this inevitable and necessary pull towards equality, it is time to start communicating and drawing new lines in the sand as to how far rearranging family values harms our most precious resource - children and family.

Answer 6

Women allow themselves to be treated badly and spend too much time comparing themselves to other women because men like it that way. Through out history starting at mary and moving to helen of troy and beyond, women have been a problem for men. we have power and men recognized it and used our nurturing tendancies to turn that power against us. Men were always in charge of decision making and law making back then so they made laws and decisions that kept women subjective. to this day, no matter how strong a woman is, she will harbor self-doubts about her body image, intellegence etc. to make matters worse, we as women bought into this type of thought by allowing ourselves to fall for the idea that society says we should be a certain height, weight, age etc or else we aren't worthy. Cheer up dear, You know even if they don't admit it, men have self-doubts too.

Answer 7

Beautiful women may not been beautiful children. Adults and other children say really cruel things. The target of taunts will internalize what is said. I was never told I was beautiful as a child. I was an adult the first time anyone told me I was beautiful. I'm 45 years old. I'm still uncomfortable with hearing it.

Answer 8

a lot of women just cannot accept what it is that they have and be happy and contented with it, they always want something better, even if they have the best, the most, the better they will still aspire for something that the bestest, the mostest and the betterer(excuse the english) and men sense this and we try our best to look as what they want and desire to the point that we tricked them and men are very good at doing this, and there goes your girl power!!!!!

Answer 9

Well, that is how you girls are destined. Its you fate. Your height is less, your physical strength is less and you are to bear the baby. In other words, you are born to be dominated.

Now, joking apart, I really think this sort of thinking as fanaticism. In every human society, both men and women need each other. It is the dominating attitude of certain male members that makes things worse for the girls. It is lack of education or poor thinking on their part. They somehow cannot treat girls equally. But you should not blame all the males, for the deficiencies of a few. As u have rightly pointed out, the girls do not realise their own strength. Similarly, men do not realise their own weakness, weakness that leads him to deny a girl of her equal (if not more) rights.

Answer 10

Exactly!Why do even the most intelligent make foolish relationship choices? When u start new relationship, most of woman know that it wont work with that men but we just think that ''what if i am wrong thiis time ,maybe it ll work this time''...This possibility push us into the new relationship,coz we just want to be wrong this time!!

Answer 11

I don't think anything is wrong with women. Its more due to the nature rather than anything to do with any individual woman.Nature has given the reproductive powers to the female species only and thus they are the ones who have to bear the burden of childbirth and hence the sustaining of any population depends on them.Thus naturally they are the ones to care more about their their looks & outlooks so that the best possible breed of population is produced.THUS IT'S ALL NATURAL and has nothing to do with their being the weaker sex or their requiring protection .Instead i believe that they are the STRONGER SEX as they bear the pangs of childbirth.
