What about a woman makes men deem them inferior?

Question

Other than societal/media influences?

For example, wouldn't an attractive woman with an advanced degree be equal if not "superior" to a man without either?

Yet, they will still hit on the woman...I don't get it.

Answer 1

You (and women) are NOT inferior.

I'm male, but am a feminist , because I so beleive this and see the importance of women not being pidgeon-holed and denied an equal right to self-develop to their fullest potential , and with support and encouragement from the world, not some creepy condemnations.

There are a lot of people who have listened to the hate speeches made by Rush Limbaugh (the jerk who coined the phrase "feminazi")

These people are still fighting AGAINST a woman's born right to simply get to be herself.

That sucks in a way I cant adequately describe.

But yes it means there are a lot of PARROTTS who say bad things about women, about feminism...and you just gotta ignore them - because you have right on your side, and you have a lot of GOOD people you can talk to about this

Spend some time here at the Gender and Women's Studies category. It's where the feminists live at Y!A, and you'll get exposed to a lot of good AND a lot of bad mean opinions --(but THAT  will allow you to gain insight overall on the subject.)

*One more thing, be careful NOT to think women might be SUPERIOR to men (Hey I'd agree with you, women are nice and men are all war and bullying from what I can tell. They abuse and like it !) Yet still---> if you say women are superior, then you commit the same wrong the men  have committed in taking womens power away in the first place, so long ago.

You need to see EQUAL opportunity...for all.-to s***w up! -to grow. -to get to try to be what they want to be.

Honestly, I think you might benefit from coming  to the GWS category regularly because you'd get a LOT of positive encouragement about this.

And you can become a part of the community if you want.

There are some great people here.

Answer 2

Well, first of all, how does "hitting" on someone imply that you think of them as inferior?  Do you mean specifically hitting on someone in a degrading or negative way?  Or do you mean any type of flirtatious behavior?  Sure, some men may hit on a woman in a way that crosses a boundary and is more uncomfortable than anything else, but it could just as likely be stupidity or social ineptitude as genuine disdain for the opposite s*x.  

But to answer your question, I'd say the only people who feel a burning need to declare a entire demographic as "inferior" (whether it be a gender, ethnicity, etc) to themselves are those who really harbor their own inferiority complex and desperately need to find people to look down on to prop themselves up.

Answer 3

Though I think whatever I say here would probably result in thumbs down....

Shells, all other things being equal, and generally proven or disproven or contended by a million different studies, men are stronger than women.  This is not a small, unimportant fact.  While obviously a few exceptions will always exsist, your average man is quite a bit stronger than your average woman, equaling higher work output, more endurance, and a million other benefits.

EDIT:  Kris W makes and excellent, excellent point.

Answer 4

But if they wouldnt hit on the smart,attractive women you would accuse the guy of being sexist.

       Nice feminist catch 22.

Answer 5

Generally size and physical strength.  Granted I don't think this, but this is what I hear.  How being larger or stronger gives one any advantage in today's information age, I don't know.  Well, it doesn't and this loss of inherent belief in a now non-existing advantage is what drives men to fight so hard against feminism.  It is like the tiny burst of adrenalin that a dying animal gets just before they bleed to death.

Answer 6

Always with the physical strength or the math and science c**p. Pfft. Amateurs.

Isn't it amusing how people think being whatever gender they are was under their control?

Answer 7

Lack of adequate intelligence. A degree doe not guarantee common intelligence.

The thumbs down are telling me that my answer is being misread. I'm not saying that all women are dumber than men and therefore inferior, I'm saying that if a woman is stupider than a man, then he deems her as inferior, whether he ever tells her or not.

Woo, 10 thumbs down, keep 'em coming!

Answer 8

I always believed it was because they thought we were weaker & our bodily functions (our menstrual cycles, etc.) yet we're the ones delivering babies...not them.

Answer 9

Not inferior, different.

Answer 10

Tetosterone.

Answer 11

depends on how u value a person for example if a woman is  a tax attorney is she more valueable than a garbage man who does an important job that is required to the community. That and once you start talking about one person being superior to another your asking for trouble since a male is physically superior on average than a woman.

Answer 12

s*x!!!

Answer 13

The respect of a woman should be without qualifications of any kind. To lord over anyone else is wrong period. White, Black. Green, Purple it does not make a difference, and I thank God that He didn't make Jesus that way!! We would have all been in trouble, can I get a witness here? :)

There is a man thing and It goes like this.....................

Me Tar-zan!

You  Jane!

I know some folks that are brilliant...and they want everyone to know it, and they always tell of their battles and wins...bla..bla..bla... There are some other folks that I know, that would help you mow your grass, clean you up if you where injured, and bring you a meal if they knew you couldn't fix it and or wouldn't care if you didn't have it. And some of the most of all intelligent humans. there is a difference in the persons spirit. PROUD or HUMBLE...:) Pride comes before the fall...:) Me TAR-ZAN....You JANE! go figure. Plain out right Pride... TAR-ZAN and their Superiority Complexes? :)God Speed to ya.
