Are men really this threatened by women having equal access, things that are stipulated by the various waves of feminism. Are we as men really all that threatened by a woman that is equal to us?? Are we really that threatened by it, I ask because I see a plethora of threads that seem to indicate that us knuckle dragging men can't or won't function if a woman is somehow near or above us??

I've never worked in a situation where a woman was my supervisor, I feel like I could be ok with it, I feel like it would be fine.

Does this stuff really really affect normal well functioning men? Is this really a deal breaker with average everyday normal men, not the guys here, of course, but the normal men out there???

Not a man but I'll answer. Clearly some men are threatened by women's independence as they now have to bring more to the table than just money, and some people are just not up to the task!

Not a guy either, but a handful of guys (MGTOW basement dwellers) are intimidated by a woman who can pull her own weight. Their fragile little egos can't process that.

I'm confident enough not to be threatened by any woman, man, or child.

Well, I am a man, and I LOVE a strong woman.......after all, someone has to carry the groceries in from the car.

(THAT WAS A JOKE !!! )

I, personally, am not threatened, and do like a woman who has a strong personality. BUT, there is a difference between being confident, secure, and successful and being controlling and difficult to deal with.

I find women who know what they want and who are not afraid to go after it or ask for it sexy and interesting. However, I do also want a woman who realizes she is still a lady and that she needs to have a soft side too. Some women take the feminist thing way too far IMO. I still want to open doors for a woman, and protect them. A lot of women today see that as looking down on them, I do not. I see it as respecting them and caring about how I treat them.

Perhaps the OP can expand on what got him so fired up about this particular subject today. Evidently, something has made you start thinking about this.

So being concerned a woman will use her massive inherit advantages in society to screw men over=threatened by women? Okay...

Mod cut: Quoted post deleted.

Most well balanced people are not threatened by someone else's success, male or female. if you choose the right partner to begin with, you will never have to worry about being screwed over.
