Question

Why do some people mistake a woman's independence for superiority ???

Answer 1

Because superiority requires independence and independence requires separation and separation is required for superiority.^_^

Answer 2

For the same reason why some women mistake a man's out spoken independence and masculinity, for superiority. Some people of both sexes are bitter about powerful self-sufficient people of the opposite s*x

Answer 3

I know what you mean.  "How dare you go to college, earn a degree and support yourself?  What's wrong with you?"  Then, if a woman is NOT independent, she's seen as a gold digger.  Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

EDIT: iblockidiots (you should probably block yourself)

The woman that wakes up, works, pays taxes, and doesn't go around looking for handouts is independent.  There are plenty of independent women out there.

Answer 4

What makes you think some people do that ?  

Answer 5

So which people is that, i find no such thing

i'm independent minded and i never follow the crowd unless i want to

but on this forum i find that my account has been deleted only to be reinstated, because there were no reasons whatsoever, apart from the fact i refuse to bow to feminist

but i was raised tough, and to have independence, and that's why i don't just except any old rhetoric, more so when it makes no sense

and requires me to be weak, fear full and dishonest, in order for me to be equal and strong

Yet i am already strong...lol

Answer 6

They do?

Or is this yet another case of the person who says they do actually act in ways that communicates that they seek superiority or fails to accept some of the things that they take for granted and still expect along side thier independance?

Something like that might explain it.

Im sure there are more possible explainations relative to those women that experience that problem - as far as I know many that are just independant don't have that problem.

Its the same as those 'independant and strong' women that complain of people thinking they act like b****es

Answer 7

I don't see it as a mistake.  I think an independent woman is superior to one who isn't.

Answer 8

If this is in regards to men, it is because some men think those women will not have anything to do with them.  As for me, if they do not, that is their choice, and theirs alone.

Answer 9

Because they are insecure and jealous.

Answer 10

Why don't you ask said people?

Also, women are not independent.

They depend of government grants, laws with special privilege, biased courts, government-subsidized women's advocacy groups, etc... Independent? I think not. "Independent women" have replaced men with Daddy Government.

Answer 11

Because many of the so called "woman's independence" group always try to push for more special perks for women.

Answer 12

hmm not sure if I read it right.

But I am guessing your asking about why others and myself included refer to feminism as a female supremacy movement is because for the last decade or so feminist's have been attacking mens rights in such a fashion to make all levels of society unequal.

From the demonization of men in the media and TV,movies to outright lie's about rape,child abuse, domestic abuse.

We live in a feminist society. This society discriminates against men on all levels unless your rich.

   From the family courts to the criminal court's the feminist judicial system hold's bias against men.

The feminist educational system proudly discriminates against male students using the sexist notion then "males have a naturally advantage" resulting in over medication of millions of boys with a drug similar to cocaine, teachers who sometimes subtly or other times overtly discriminate against male students.

    But it is always easier to tow the party line and ignore these things then to point out injustice,hatred and discrimination. Ask the millions of Jew's who died in the holocaust while the west stood idly by.

The same thing is happening today. Granted feminist's are doing it in a slower manner but there push to strip males of all rights is undeniable.

-------------------------

Nothing wrong with a person being self sufficient, but when people speak in a displeasing manner about "independent women"  they are usually referring to a women who try's to control others around them, tell others what to do.

         And it doesn't help matters that some of the  women who refer to themselves as a "strong independent women" turn out to just be female chauvinist's.

    

All in all there is nothing wrong with being strong or independent. It is how you use that strength and independence that counts.

Answer 13

Independence is a relative, subjective term. Take abortion for instance. You may see a women being given the right to have an abortion as a matter of independence, the right to choose what she does with her body/life etc. The flip side of that coin is that she is also given the power to decide if the man who impregnated her is going to be a father or not. So she is given a Superior right.

You may see grants going specifically to women to start Small businesses, scholarships to enter mail dominated fields (like engineering and mathematics) and quotes for entrances to college, management positions and job entry as correcting social wrongs, or fostering women's independence, but they do give advantages to women and special rights (ie they make it harder for men to get positions, enrolled in college and scholarships)
