| Why are men threatened by an Independent, educated woman???
Posted: 12/2/2006 4:02:30 PM | I'm not threatened at all my an educated/independent woman. Actually I prefer it because at least conversation wouldn't dull and I can finally use my whole 10% of my brain when I converse with her.
(fact the average human being uses 10% or less of his/her brain) | |

Posted: 12/2/2006 4:59:00 PM | ^^^^msg 403..well said, and my point exactly. Sorry that it took 17 pages to convey your reply in one sentence. You have hit the nail on the head.
-I'm a bitch when the situation calls for one.
-I answer to no one but me.
-I take care of myself, my cats, my friends and my family.
-I patrol the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
-I do my own laundry..need I say more? no wait!!! And I can shoot anything or anyone through the head if they bother me...point blank.
Happy holidays!

Posted: 12/2/2006 5:38:25 PM | | I don't think MOST men are. I think some men fear an independent woman because they know that woman does not have to take their crap and like it.. They can walk out of the relationship any time.. Remember money is power, if you have it you don't really NEED anyone to take care of you. For generations men took care of their woman, it was the culture. Times have changed, women work, get college degrees, stand on their own two feet.. Some men feel threatened, those that do are not worty of you. It isn't feminisim, but they label it that to justify their attitude. | |

Posted: 12/3/2006 9:25:24 AM | Honestly, it sounds pretty stupid to me.
If people don't approach you, it's not because they are threatened by you, it's because they are not interested.
Surprisingly there are a lot of people out there who can't handle the fact that other people just might not be interested in them.
It happens sometimes, live with it. Shoving your college diploma and paid bill statements in someone's face isn't going to make them like you any more or any less. | |

Posted: 12/3/2006 10:29:24 AM | ya didnt have to read far,.. msg. 2 hit the nail on the head, its not about being intimidated by an educated,independent woman, its about being annoyed by an arrogant, full of herself one.Your profile screams exactly that. "must not drink beer,white milk,( whats that all about? is non white milk ok?) must not watch sports." you just eliminated 90 % of the male population over the age of 12, sounds like you dont want a man, you want a robot you can program to be exactly like you , and think exactly like you , and like exactly the same things as you.. | |

Posted: 12/3/2006 3:06:04 PM | Each time you post, it speaks volumes about yourself.
Unfortunately for you it's all negative.
I, I, I, I, I,...............................
Notice a pattern here?
Men aren't threatened by you. They're just sick of you
5 seconds after you open yer big yap!!
For the record: NO I'm not threatened by you.
Not even at point blank range.
That's the difference between having what it takes
and taking to say "I have". | |

Posted: 12/3/2006 3:16:34 PM | Like many have said before and I echo this thought, "Only insecure men are threatened". I have a BA, two MA's, and a law school education. Have owned my own businesses too, and lastly, have worked for a US President and held political office myself. ***I have been blessed by meeting great men that appreciated my brains. (Not all are threatened)
On top of all this, I did it all pretty young, compared to others. Not bragging, just stating facts. I can shoot an M-60 (machine gun) and have taken Karate and Boxing. (Also, ballet, dance, aviation, sailing and fencing) Am I butch, no, am I tough, (when I need to be). Do I like men, lol, yes. But I have varied interests and won't be bound by my gender.
The smart man likes the smart woman and enjoys conversing with someone who has a brain and balls (expression only, lol) but is fem. too. Oh, did I say I like to cook too? If you think about it, if we live a long life and want to experience new things, why should we put limitations on ourselves. I think it makes a person much more interesting when they are willing to be different and try new things. LOL | |

Posted: 12/3/2006 4:37:02 PM | Maybe the problem is you don't really need a man! There's a thread on that on this site already " Do women need men anymore?"
Independence is good- I am - but if total independence means you need no one- well OK but it's kid of lonely.
Education- is a great thing and I recommend it to everyone- but I think it means your smart enough to understand everybody's contributions to society are good and worthy of your ear and may be in conflict with your own thoughts.
Ears open- mouth closed- is a good sign of intelligence too. You may learn something.

what she will tolerate (and NOT tolerate) in a relationship...why do they equate this with 'Feminisim??'
Sorry Sanschele, but some men just missbehave in relationships, and you are correct in not tolerating it and THEN THEY shove it back in your face as Feminism. I think most decent men will agree these men are bruts.
I apologize if they don't. You DO DESERVE the best. You are a cutie AND you rescue people in destress in the ocean!! Don't take it so hard. The feelings will pass . | |

Posted: 12/3/2006 11:38:29 PM | | I think sometimes what you call threatened, is not really threatened. Alot of men still value the tradional marriages that our ancestors were proud to honour. I guess what i'm saying is, it's not that we feel threatened, it's just that we don't feel it's right. Not that a woman shouldn't be educated or independant. Just that most women who are independant and educated are very self absorbed and it leads to them having to much time to be unnatural. | |

Posted: 12/4/2006 12:03:19 AM | Many men, unfortunately, do not wish for equality. They wish to control you. Sadly enough, many women still go for these kinds of men. I personally do not wish for a slave or a boss. I am looking for someone to go SIDE by SIDE with. Financial matters are the #1 reason for split ups according to surveys. That, in itself, is pretty broad in nature. If I team up with someone that have similar earnings, spending and saving habits, we are likely going to have an easier time. Low self esteem individuals, I run away from. I have the right of choice. Good luck to all.  | |

Posted: 12/4/2006 12:12:01 AM | It's certainly no threat to me...in fact I WELCOME it.
Case in point, I was just chastised the other day for using "big words" in my talks.
What the hell, like I'm supposed to dumb down my speech when I'm not even intentionally throwing "big words" around to impress anybody...just being ME!!!
But back to the topic at hand...this is all societal conditioning...many men DO fee threatened by an intelligent woman, and many women feel the uphill battle of it because of all the damn Barbie ads out there. --S | |
