Most would deny it but looking throughout a broad range of categories throughout the forums, it seems like large number of women have a problem with male opinion. Do women really want to control so much? Does a man not have a right to be selective anymore or have an opinion??

Example, i was on the fitness category reading a thread from a girl really upset how men found muscular women unattractive. it was so bazaar to me it almost felt like she was angry that men's perspective of attractiveness didn't coincide with hers. Like she wants to go into every mans mind and change it.


ive noticed similar behavior with my female roommates. they try to over control an environment and if something doesnt go their way they throw a weird indirect tantrum.


Another example has been even within this section, where a guy shares a view that may not always agree with traditional gender roles..or what he personally finds attractive or weird in women..suddenly you have a herd of women calling him stupid, a loser, pathetic,gay




Seriously, whats up? whats the problem? can women not live with men thinking and living differently from them? can women not handle rejection? This is your time shine. speak up , be objective, and be clear.

Both men and women as a gender have control issues. I don't know why you never knew this before. Ever seen a bossy little girl?

Both genders disagree with each other. Maybe you're just girl crazy so you only notice the girls. :P

real control issues- are psychotic...ive seen this first hand and it aint pretty...


but to be fair, you do have to separate , between if she is angry or not-because when angry, some women,,im sure men too, just go ballistic.. 0 to psycho in less than five minutes,

control has many levels of manipulation..
I always found this bizarre- if a woman had a very over-controlling mother....she seems to certaily rebel against that in her early 20's...but somewhere along the way, she starts to grow into what she despised about her controlling parent, and do similar things themselves-to spouses or kids..

I wouldn't gauge online behavior on CD as a my reference point. You can sometimes say the most subjective or opinion-based stuff on here and people will react by rolling out the e-Nukes on you. I haven't noticed women to be any worse than the men in this regard. I suppose it could depend on the sub-forum.

Well in the RS there is a bit of a herd mentality. I've noticed you tend to get a few women like this, others are more reasonable. A lot of people just can't stand it when someone's opinion doesn't agree with theirs. But I have noticed that groups who have been told how oppressed they are do tend to have the guard up.

Not a tantrum thrower, but I am a control freak.

I just talked to a female friend who has issues with control. She said she's always been attracted to guys that she has to fix, but then gets heartbroken when they break up, because he didn't turn into the man she hoped he would. Good thing was that she said that she wouldn't know how to act if she ran into a guy that didn't need any fixing and challenged her intellectually. That's a problem that men and women have. We don't always know how to change our heart to match where our mind wants us to go. Think of the phrase "the heart wants what the heart wants." I believe we all know what we want mentally, but we keep going back to what we want emotionally, and that's why we get hurt continuously.

She chooses these men, by my opinion, because she feels she is over them and tries to control them to think like she does. That will not work, since that man has the freedom to think the way that he wants too. When two people don't line up with the majority of life goals, how do you two expect to work for the long haul?

Anyone else beeen witness to this?
