Do you think that men still don't take women seriously?

Question

The general attitude still sticks, that men don't really take girls seriously.

Answer 1

I agree with Cool Luke.

I think we are kind of at an in-between....about half and half....sometimes they do....sometimes they don't...sometimes they want to but refuse...sometimes they refuse but secretly want to...and so on. (Both sides of the coin here men vs. women and women vs. men)

I don't really think it is the general attitude that they don't take us seriously but it's almost (for me anyway) as if they do listen but don't want to admit to it...does that make sense? Maybe some men still feel it is more macho and 'popular' for them to act this way towards women...but (again agreeing with Cool Luke - lol) I really think the mindset of men has come a long way (and for women also) and still has a long way to go. I think right now is the 'in between' where men are still kind of struggling to hold on to something that they once thought was 'their own' - intelligence, success and even power....some I feel may be in denial as well to these changes in society today...some are very aware and even somewhat excited to see what the possibilities of these changes could incurr..(*wink*)!

As it stands at the moment - I feel it is about half and half...(on both sides).

Answer 2

  I'll try and add a different perspective to this since I'm Ts and have spent more time in the men's corner then I'd of liked.There are some men that are truly devoted husbands or boyfriends and would never say a bad word about their wives or girl friends and are vocally supportive that they take their wives seriously.Then there are guys who just don't get it by choice or by lack of understanding.From my experience I'd say the good guys are maybe 25% but the younger ones are definitely getting better and there overall percentage would be higher but the older guys drag them down.

Answer 3

I notice that in some situations that a woman's opinion could get overlooked. But in more and more situations us men experience the same thing. Some groups of women don't take our opinions seriously.

I think women are becoming more important to society. Someday their opinions will carry more weight than a man's.

Answer 4

Some do, some don't. I just don't pay much attention to the ones that don't. Fortunately, I married one that does.  

Answer 5

you kno i think its getting better, now instead of not hiring a women for a particular job out of fear she will not be able to do it, they will now hire her just to see if they can sleep with her.
