Now a days' women are as independent, social power, strong minded as men. But for biological reason, it is not possible for a woman to feel sexually attracted towards a man who is weaker minded than her. So there are many women who can not mate with a man who is stronger than her due to shortage of that types of man. So does not women liberation and empowerment cause loneliness?

Weaker in what sense?
Sexual attraction goes beyond perceived strength...I'd be more attracted to a "weak" man that respects and loves me than to a "strong" man that just wants a quick lay.
What is it with you and stereotypes that women only want certain types of men?

Your argument implies
1) that independent women are somehow above men, instead of being equal to them.
2)That weak-minded men comprise most of the male population.
3) That women are setting themselves up for loneliness because of the weak mindedness of men.
The women I've known want someone they can spar with, which is easy enough to do. I'm so tired of other men thinking that women are so much farther above or below them. It's just an excuse: Empowerment doesn't mean control.
All anyone ever wanted was to be considered a comrade: Not a toy, and not an idol. There's nothing difficult about that thought.
If you don't want a challenging woman who can meet you where you are, then send them my way--I'd gladly have them!

Well, weak-minded is a tricky concept. Women want to feel that their opinion is valued, so men who never listen to anyone else, and feel they must always "run the show" are the ones in trouble!
It's the bull-headed arrogant men (there is no shortage) who women won't touch, not the sensitive types... Some women love the men they feel they can manipulate and control. Other women simply realize that communication is very important in a relationship, so soft-spoken, easygoing guys have far less of a problem than stubborn, loud men who put up false fronts of bravado- those are the lonely ones headed back to the strip clubs.

Well, I'm not sure where you get this idea from, but remember that not the majority of women are attracted to weaker men...
I'm just a 17 year old girl, but it doesn't bother me if a guy is weaker than me in any way, we are all equal human beings after all, as you said. As humans, each of us are different, there's always something that a person is weak at.
I never believe that gender should be the factor. I don't get what you mean by shortage of strong men, in that case. Love is not selfish, nor judge mental, just love him/her for who he/she is.

Where does this statement that "it is not possible for a woman to feel sexually attracted towards a man who is weaker minded than her" come from? I can't tell you how many women I know who have dated or married men who are 'weaker-minded' than them. But that's using *my* definition of "weaker minded", which may not be the same as yours. You may be referring to intelligence, or strength of character, willpower, drive to succeed, etc etc... it's hard to answer your question without knowing exactly what you mean by 'weaker minded'. I also would like to know this: where does your proof for such a statement come from?

I am not one of these stronger women who craves powerful men! & from what i have read here in Answers,there are still plenty of stupid week minded women who fall for anything out there!
All i have ever wanted out of life is a "good" man who respects me & I can respect him! I was taught so well by the arses I married & dated,that now i don't believe there is anyone out there for me!

What do you mean women don't like weaker men? Almost the whole of female Christendom was in love with Ashley Wilkes? Not to mention Ralph Touchett!

mmm... i have to disagree... i am all for women empowerment... all for feminism; a feminist. HOWEVER, i hate it when men are stronger than me. i enjoy teaching, and i accept everybody for who they are. i will not call a man weak because he's not, to my belief, as strong as me. honestly, i don't think anybody can really call anybody else a weak person... soley because you never fully know another person besides yourself. everybody has a balance of strengths and weaknesses. and in a relationship that should not be created into a competition... if it is, that's not because of impowerment... that's a much deeper issue.

Another flawed, inaccurate, and insulting premise.
Weak in what way? Feeble? Poor? Disadvantaged?
