Why women are stupids

No one is asking you to play dumb. Most educated men now appreciate a woman who is smart and can make her own decisions. Provided these men may be fewer than the sleazy mamas boys usually found under every rock but hey, to say its the norm is extremely offensive to BOTH genders. Please broaden your own horizons. Just because a woman adjusts more which is not always the case for a relationship doesn't mean that it makes her in any way inferior. This is an unnecessary shell of feminism.

Look at it this way. She hurts and whines more because she cares for another human being. Now this may be a lover, a parent, a sibling etc. We don't question her woman empowerment when she loses her mind for a friend or a family member, but just because she is romantically involved to someone is supposed to make it hurt less?

It is not men making a big deal out of an issue like this but rather women themselves. If your marriage starts to fall apart, wouldn't you want to do something about it? Or would you shun it aside so you feel superior? Secondly, men today don't usually look for intelligence in a woman? I don't know what sort of men does the author usually interacts with but men today are definitely asking for someone who is more than just a pretty face.

So NO. Women are not stupid when it comes to men. Emotional yes, because they are made to be more aware of their feelings than men but does that make them stupid? There is a stark difference.

Parvez 10 years ago Reply Sorry not convinced with the argument. It looks more like an unwarranted cry for sympathy because you have failed to use simple good adult sense in dealing with issues. I dont think women are alone in this field. Sootwala 10 years ago Reply I had prepared a whole speech in my mind to post while reading the blog.

Habiba Younis 10 years ago Reply sorry to break, but its quite an immature rant, one would expect this emotional outburst from a thirteen year old after a breakup. M 10 years ago Reply Yes, speak for yourself please. Above all, I find even the title so offensive!

Mani 10 years ago Reply This is the most blatant piece of sexist drivel I have ever read. Just because the writer herself might have made bad judgement calls on the men in her life does not mean that all men out there are like that.

I for one admire intelligent women. Uncle J 10 years ago Reply What exactly was this article about? Parveen bibi 10 years ago Reply speak for yourself please. Women are not only sexist towards men, they are also sexist towards other women. Women expect that their men should be taller and stronger than themselves, on the contrary if the man asks woman not to drive, he becomes a sexist. Women expect men to be brainier than themselves, on the contrary if a man makes a decision without consulting women, he becomes a sexist.

My point is, men are sexists, women are far worse. TT 10 years ago Reply "I think women are stupid to want men in the first place" Men would love to see the alternative happening :. Faraz Talat 10 years ago Reply They aren't stupid. They are victims of a popular, almost universal culture, where people feel sorry for women who a single beyond a certain age.

It causes women to become overly obsessed with getting hitched, and getting their abysmal relationships to work no matter what it takes. It's typical Charlotte syndrome, which is why it's always good to have a little bit of Samantha in you I feel mortified using that Sex and the City reference, but it had to be done.

Perhaps the author will not agree. She needs deep introspection, really break into her own subconscious. You ask a woman ask yourself, you are one what they want out of a relationship?

What they look out for, in a man? There's a standard answer - simple, honest, committed, well settled and respectful of women. Now what they really mean is - 'simple' - the man should be simple enough to allow the woman all her indulgences and be quiet to all the silly displays of the woman's vanity.

When she spends all her time with her cousins and friends, he should keep quiet. He should also honestly agree that his sister is not as good looking as her. His mother does not cook as well as she does. When the woman says something bad about the man's family members, he should be honest enough to accept it.

He should have his own bungalow at least a flat and a big car and should be willing spend a lot of money on restaurants and other indulgences. This qualifier, in a way supersedes the rest! RS 10 years ago Reply This blog is so stupid, but not stupider than men. This blog goes against the norms we are fed since childhood in our culture so it will be trashed by a lot of people.

Allowing men in the family to treat you like inferior,second class creatures doesn't make you a good wife,daughter or sister,it just makes you a person with no self respect and a woman who's ashamed of her gender. Zeeshan 10 years ago Reply agreed!!!

By Anna Savina. It puts the blame on them for the social barriers and glass ceilings that explain their underrepresentation at the highest level of any organizational hierarchy. But we also know that when women behave in dominant and assertive ways, too many people—many of whom are other women—are put off by their apparent lack of femininity. But when they do show drive and assertiveness, we are intimidated or repulsed by their lack of archetypical femininity. Somewhat reassuringly, recent data suggests that in the past decades, stereotypical views of women have regarded them as equally or even more competent than men , at least in the U.

People still tend to think of leadership as a game of force and power and have selected leaders based on their outsize masculinity for decades. But the essence of high-performing leadership is competence, humility, and integrity rather than confidence, charisma, and narcissism. This calls for not just more female leaders but also more male leaders who do not display the traditional macho features that align with our flawed leadership archetypes. When we blame women for their misfortunes relative to men, we are engaged in benevolent sexism.

This type of narrative is a bulletproof strategy to avoid acknowledging that nepotism and sexism exist. It also relies on the assumption that the world is as good as it could be and that women need changing in order to compete with the male ruling class.
