Why are so many males and a few females afraid of strong opiniated women?

Question

And must result to petty name-calling. Are these cyber-bullies so dumb they can't type a single sentence without name calling?

Opinionated my bad. Sorry Croa. I just type so fast that it happens from time to time.

Answer 1

Opinionated perhaps? I'll give that a definite maybe.

Answer 2

because they have a bad complex.i have more respect for a highly opiniated girl than else,and i feel that a submissive woman is just like a hole in the wall .i had a friend in college (room-mate) who didnt like a (girl with any opinion).he started dating this nice girl who knew what she wanted out of her life and would express herself and her feelings and my friend would ask her to be quiet all the time.i had it with him and finally told him to go to hell.she left him that day and found a great guy.girls and boys are the same and have the same rights and if there are some males cant see it that way ,then you girls tell him to go and live in ..saudi arabia,where they dont even let female to drive ..i think thats is huge disgrace....

Answer 3

Men, and a few women, are afraid of strong opinionated women because they are intimidated by them. In this usually male-controlled society, men are used to being the strong, independant tough guys who women look to for protection, so when they come across a strong-willed female who knows what she wants and what she is going to achieve in her life, the men can be turned off. They are turned off because they have grown up with the ideal that men are the head-honchos and that women can't hold a place/position of power and importance. Because of their usually large egos and testosterone, men need to feel in control, and when they meet a woman who is in more control than they are, they lose their supposed "place" and control, and feel insignificant and unimportant.

Not all men tend to be like this though, some men have admitted to being attracted to strong-willed women. Take for example Henry Stanton, husband of Elizabeth Cady Stanton renowned womens' right's activist and abolitionist.

Answer 4

The men are experiencing a type of "little man syndrome." They can't handle strong women, because they doubt their own masculinity. The few women that don't like strong females are simply envious. I'm a man, and I would not want to be associated with some giggly, airheaded dingbat.

Answer 5

I don't know anyone who is afraid of a strong-opinionated person. I can speak for myself though... many people who think they are strongly opinionated are really thick skulled people who won't ever back down and concede that there can be another opinion. Don't confuse a smart person who will engage in a debate with a bore who will spew their own opinions as the only truth. No one is afraid of intelligence. People who resort to name calling are falling back on the only crutch they have left... It's up to you, as a strong opinionated person to let everyone have their opinion, whether you agree with it or not.

Answer 6

A strong, opinionated woman often comes across in her communications as intimidating (whether intentionally or unintentionally), which elicits a defensive response from others. The name-calling is a knee-jerk reaction, a simple defense mechanism.

Just my observation.

Answer 7

They are insecure.
The ONLY reason a person attacks another / bullies .. is because they feel inferior. People with healthy self esteem have no need to trash others. Those who are nasty say a lot more about themselves than the people they attack.

They deserve to be pitied. ((from a distance! lol))

Aintcha glad you don't have to pick on someone else to make yourself feel good? ... Also .. specially online.. most of them are Cowards - they hide behind fake names and computer monitors.. you can bet that MOST cyber bullies are just very pathetic little people who don't have lives. Bullies are actually a very sad group. I've expressed deep sympathy to a bully .. he got a "little" worse (made himself look a Lot worse) .. before he ran away! lol ..
btw .. just happened to be a guy .. women can be bullies too .. but we have a different name for them! lol .. they're still just insecure pitiful people .. sad ..

Answer 8

They have a very limited language skill. They use big words to fill the gap like the cigarette in films and they have never opened a dictionary.

Answer 9

Here is my opinion in one sentence.
I believe that feminism is nothing, but a bunch of crap; always have and always will.
I will add a couple more sentences.
I don't say anything unless I know I can take it. There are women on this sight who are vicious and they will let you know what they think and they will not always hold back.
If you can't take it you shouldn't be dishing it out; it's a two way street you know.

Answer 10

No.

Furthermore, since we all know "testosterone poisoning" has no scientific basis (although certain correlations may appear rather attractive to feminists like Baba Yaga), we can dismiss that little hypothesis as well.
