It's called SELF-esteem. It's the esteem of YOURSELF.

Your 'logic' is on the same level as, "Why do men blame the downfall of the universe on feminists?"
btw, women can't blame men for their self-esteem, only the lack thereof.

Indeed self esteem is esteem for yourself but if a person has been in a relationship with someone who has bulliedthem, belittled them, controlled them.............then their self esteem is sometimes eroded to the point on non-existance.
It is not only women who suffer from self esteem issues. Men do too. Usually as a result of being on the receiving end of constant put downs and critisism from parents, friends, colleagues, bosses and, ultimately .........self.

You can't hgeneralise the whole of the population like that, but IF they did blame men for self esteem then that may be because they have been bullied & their confidence cruhed by a man.

I don't know even one woman who "blames" men for self-esteem. Perhaps what you meant to say was "their LACK of self-esteem".
But even if women blamed men for that, it would make no sense, because no one is responsible for someone else's self-esteem. Self-esteem, as the name implies, comes from within the self.
I've never heard of the concept of "others-esteem" in any of my psych classes! Have you?

most women can't blame men for their lack of self-esteem because most women get plenty of attention from men. only the few girls who are actually unattractive can do that.
personally, i do blame women for my lack of self-esteem. and no woman can blame me, because they know that if men treated them the way women treat me, they'd feel the same way.

this is a dumb question. why are you asking this when you are clearly basing it off of probably some girl who said that to you?? women don't blame men for their self esteem...the same could be said about men. I've heard the argument, from some men, that women hold them back in life.

I don't blame anyone for anything i do. it's my feelings i have trouble with them it's my own problem NO ONE should care. if a guy hurts me it's MY fault for letting it happen.
even when my Dad called me everything under the sun i still didn't blame him. just didn't respect him. God Bless

Its because all we ever want is approval and admiration from men and lots of it. I hypothesise that men just dont give women enough support and approval and everything else they need to make themselves feel good about them selves. Tis just the twisted workings of the human intellect i guess.

They have been told most of their lives that everything wrong is automatically a man's fault. Some of us know better and take responsibility for our own actions.

Not all women do this. There are some women who will blame men and there are some men who will blame women.
