Why do we ladies have to do what men say or want?? Why are we obliged to do what they "Think is Right"
Arent we women capable of thinking for OURSELVES??
Why should we wait till he says he wanna get married, why we wait for him to say that??
Why do we wait for the perfect man, while the woman has to wait for him to find her??
why do we have to do what they say??
Why do women say that we are not in the old ages anymore and women are allowed to vote.. Is that what really women want?? only to vote?? Why dont we ask for more?? Why arent women asking for more??
Is it still a man's world??
why is our life all about MEN thinkning or doing, WHY are men so DOMINENT??

From my relationships and of others I seen, women do have a say and practice it. And women are capable of thinking for themselves and most men would agree. I seen relationships where women have tried and have succeeded in changing men.
Yes, usually its the man who asks for marriage. I say it is just a tradition. Being a man, I must say it sucks to preferred one to first to ask a for a date or for marriage, because women have the power to say yes or no. I think some women need to make the first most, so they know what rejection is like.
As for myself for sure, some men are waiting for the perfect women. Alot women go on to college and get professional careers and stuff...
Here's a question for you.....
Why do some men practically kill themselves of a woman? Men have done some pretty foolish and dumb things to get or keep a girl.

I don't think the men are at fault here. A woman has her own choices. A woman can ask a man to marry her, there's no law against it. A woman can go out in search of that perfect man rather than waiting for him - he may be waiting for her. We don't have to do what they say - some women just think they do. I don't believe it's still a mans world, only in the eyes of those who still view it as a mans world.
If a woman wants something, she should go out and get it - surely if a woman waits until a man asks her to marry him or does immediately what a man says she should do, that says more about the woman than it does the man? Maybe in cases such as these woman just feel inferior when they actually aren't. I've always found if you stick to your own opinions and point and are firm in what you believe in, then no one and no man can MAKE you do anything.

>Why do we ladies have to do what men say or want?? Why >are we obliged to do what they "Think is Right"
Youre not unless your in certain other countries.
>Arent we women capable of thinking for OURSELVES??
Quite so.
>Why should we wait till he says he wanna get married, why >we wait for him to say that??
Its your choice to wait or not, its his choice to choose to marry as mush as it is yours. BTW There is no "Rule" stating a woman cant propose, leastwise, not where I live.
>Why do we wait for the perfect man, while the woman has to >wait for him to find her??
Becuase you CHOOSE to set unrealistic goals for YOURSELF.
>why do we have to do what they say??
Men only have the authority over you that YOU give them.
>Why do women say that we are not in the old ages anymore >and women are allowed to vote.. Is that what really women >want?? only to vote?? Why dont we ask for more?? Why >arent women asking for more??
? Sufferage has included quite a bit more than the right to vote. Because you personally dont excercise those rights has no bearing on women as a whole.
What else do you think you should ask for then?
>Is it still a man's world??
In some places very much so in others not so much.
i'd love to drop you in the heart of libya and see if you dont appreciate all that you have now.
>why is our life all about MEN thinkning or doing, WHY are >men so DOMINENT??
Simply because you allow it although I would challenge whether most women feel the same. My wife for example, she is a vp for a large company while I work a low paying job and take care of the house. I think your question is more about a lack of power in your own life than it is about the plights of women in general.
Dont be bitter, Grow up.

Where are you from?
I'm in the United States, and although there are SOME men like that, they are thankfully a minority.
Unfortunately, social change takes time. We've gotten better over the years, but there are still a few people (men and women) who support discrimination (usually in the name of "tradition.")
If you are in the United States, I'd say that you're simply hanging out with the wrong crowd.
If you're not, then it will be much more difficult. Change has to start somewhere, and the best place to start is yourself. You can be a powerful force for change by simply refusing to live by these stereotypes. Be yourself, find your dream, and then live it.
Good luck!

Well you are able to thank for your self or id hope you are.
women are able to ask the man for his hand in marriage, but she will have to Waite for his answer just as he would have to Waite if he ask her. Me and my x-wife talked about it way before we decided to do it. It was a decision that we both made to gether and then she did ask me to ask her father for her hand in marriage. I thought that was very honorable to her father and mother.
far as finding the right one , well that is with in your power to do because if you are dating then you are looking am i not right.
what i see here is what you really mean is , should i be more assertive and do all the move making.

Hun, men can only do your thinking for you if you allow them to! They luv a "damsel in distress" act, so remember that your behaviour will attract certain types of men into your life.
It's all about power & equality. If you don't wanna wait for him to ask you to marry him, then YOU ask him!
You don't wanna wait around for the perfect man to find you? Then get off your fat a.s.s. & go find him - whatcha waiting for? Permission?
It's only a man's world if women allow it to be - it's up to us.

Its not about men having dominance over women.
Its that we, as either men or women, are constantly being placed in a certain role, expected to adhere to certain social rules whether we like it or not.

I don't know where you live, but where I live that's not the case. I think, speak and take care of myself. Of course that means I also make my own mistakes. My husband and I make decisions together and my male boss listens to my suggestions. You need to find a new place to live!

nope, it's you, the women, that let yourself be in the dilemma....men don't think for women but *do things* for women....we men think and act on it...but you women just talk and talk and talk...talk things out, vent things out...you don't act on what you have said....you let men do it for you...you have wanted men to treat you like queen...so that's why men are so powerful....when you're dressing yourself up for a date, men are spending his time in his work and professions...so we act on what we have thought, which is action-oriented which make us men so powerful, one way or the other...
