Answer 2

Not all women are afraid of men. I'm not (unless I'm walking down the street and one is following me). Women are not physically stronger than men, unless you have a exceptional situation, so they know they can't fight them physicall. I think some of them believe they can't live without men and give some of them too much credit (of course a woman or man need each other for procreation but I dont mean this) . Also, being emotionally led, some women feel their men have a power over them and willingly submit to being thr weaker sex. also, most of the rapes are done by men, so naturally a woman is going to get defensive herself if she sees one she doesnt know coming. Alto to domestic violence is man on woman, so women are wary of that. Maybe also because this is a male dominated world and women (some) feel they are the underdog, do they stimualte fears when by one. I don't know. I think a woman who is afraid of men can answet this better for you.

Answer 3

Well for one thing i used to be afraid of men because of abuse issues. but I am slowly learing NOT all men will hurt you. so i am trying. i think most women are not afraid of men.

I think the media has a LOT to do with this. i mean you turn on a Tv show and they show women being victims to a man. same in movies. but what they don't show you is women can and do abuse also.

As soon as we can teach Men & Women to trust each other and to value each other things will stay the same. the media should calm it down a bit. but i don't think that will happen any time soon. Is It not time to VALUE ALL our people? and stop making one gender the bad ones?

Answer 4

Women are generally not afraid of men. There are some men who are scary and are feared by both men and women. There is also the fear of sexual abuse, and generally this is performed by predator males on women, children and vulnerable males. There may also be sexist attitudes in older males, particularly by those in authority in our patriarchal societies, which make women uncomfortable.

Answer 5

I'm not afraid of men, but the answer your looking for is because men are known to be stronger than women are.

Answer 6

No.. no... no,women does not afraid of men and the ones who afraid of the men does not believe in themselves in many ways such as not pretty,not educated and has no ideas in what to do on living,otherwise we just respect them.

Answer 7

The thinking is imposed upon us (women) from birth. We are ingrained to believe that we are the weaker sex and that we should not show the same strength that men are encouraged to. Not every woman is taught like this, and there are many women who are unafraid due to trauma, abuse or just plain indignation, but men are naturally included inclined to be the bigger half of our species and naturally if something is bigger than you, this may cause anxiety in you.

Answer 8

To be honest, I am afraid of some men, because I am very petite and it wouldn't take much for a man to harm or over power me if he wished to.
Am very cautious about being out by myself or with my children.
Sorry hero, I don't think that is the case at all.
It wouldn't matter whether the man is good looking or not.
I'm careful always.

Answer 9

men are usually physically stronger, and can physically overpower women in many cases. in other cases, they may control more of the money, or maybe they are in a higher management position at work and could exert their power this way. today, this is beginning to change.

one time when i was a student in college, we were talking about the lighting at the suites. someone spoke up and said she felt unsafe walking home from late classes because of inadequate streetlights. some other guy blurted out that he was totally fine and that nothing ever happened him.

this guy obviously didn't get it.

good luck.

Answer 10

flee1906:"correction: Why are men afraid of women?"
The only men who are afraid of women are the ones who try to appease women by telling them they are feminists. The ones who are not afraid freely express their true feeling that feminism is a disaster for both men and women. Clear now?

Answer 11

Can't speak for the other guys around here, but they were/are afraid of me because I was a manipulative jerk with a terrible temper.

I've never actually hit a woman, even though a few have thrown pitiful little pokes in my direction, but that doesn't mean I wasn't a bully. I was. King of the Hog Poo Heap, Head Cheese, The Big Banana, Top Dog, Boss Hogg. And I know lotsa guys like me. Or the me I used to be. I hope.

But hey, it's not like they didn't have a lot of fun before deciding I was unstable or whacko or whatever (everything contains its opposite) and run off with all my money. Twice. With the help of lawyers, of course. But much as I want to, I can't blame them.

Looking back, knocking the crap out of them and running them off early would have been much more merciful than the emotional pain I put them (and me) through.

Men are (or are just like) animals. The ones that will actually hurt you physically typically don't show their sick streak from the outset. They're like an attack dog. Ask anybody that trains them. They don't bother with barking and snarling and flashing canines. But one day you push them off the sofa one time too many and they rip you apart.

I always wore my heart and my agressiveness on my sleeve. Attracts women at first. Scares the hell out of them (or drives them crazy with worry) later.

As I've said before, I figured all this out too late. I'm not scary anymore. Just a shattered, broken hearted jackass with nothing better to do than spill stuff like this here. (and be a horrid punster and smartass when the mood strikes me) I'm nothing to be afraid of anymore. Never was, as far as women and physical harm was concerned. The subtle and carefully practiced ability to seduce and dominate was. And I don't think I'm the only male that's put some time and effort into getting good at both.

Hope reading this helps somebody else realize what they have while they still have it, and be cognizant of how fragile a relationship is, and how confusing it can be for men to figure out the differences between what a woman falls in love with and what she wants to live with, year in and year out, and how confusing and difficult it can be for women to figure whether or not speaking their mind will throw the male in question into a flying rage.

But the fact is: YOU NEVER KNOW.

But, to answer your question, women have a natural fear of men, as would any creature in the presence of another one that could kill them easily with nothing but the tools nature gave them. And consider ol' Roy, the ***** magician who almost ended up with his head in a Tiger's stomach. I'll never know if he lost his sensible, primal fear of that possibility during the years of doing the act, but I don't think women ever do.

Most men won't beat you to death. But most men could if they wanted to (the women that have taken downright sillly weekend courses in self-defense would dispute that, but trust me, the women that can overpower a reasonably healthy male when his blood is up are few and far between).

As a male, I've often wondered how hard it is for women to bury that understanding under various layers of love. I always tried to convince the women in my life that I only beat on men and would NEVER physically hurt THEM.

But how could they be sure? How can any female be? I don't envy the position most women are in regarding this stuff, and I hate my own guts for putting the ones I really cared about into them, and eventually into places where the only sensible option was to eat the cookie and get out through the tiny door. Just because I never did anything to them was no reason to believe I never could.

So this is a bit of an apology, I guess. To them and any other woman that's feeling the same excruciatingly painful confusion that they did.

sorry. Got serious again. have to work on killing the impulse to be that way. Maybe I'll beat it to death with a Wiffle bat. Throw it in the briars and steal it's wallet, too.
