This is my thesis question to you all. Why are witch like women catered too or even well respected?

Now answer it with your most well thought out theories and scientific research.

Close association between fear and respect. Myself, I'm happy to have gotten in touch with my inner b*tch.

Does your inner witch look like Mimi from the Drew Carey show? Or Oma Rosa?

Because sometimes "witch-like" is mistaken for simply being a person who speaks their mind; which is a trait that some find to be very respectable.

That's my off-the-cuff thought, anyway.

bek many have learned, in this case many women, that you can get as much out of life by fighting as you can by towing the line. they do it bek aggression works-- it was one of the promises of the womens movement, assertiveness training and to some extent the promise was kept, but very much like "the monkey's paw" the promise delivered comes with a curse.

Because they are usually married to powerful men when they are young. They have children and then husbands do not wish to part with 1/2 of their fortune, so they try to keep her happy and keep her mouth shut.

The community, wishing to brown nose the powerful man caters to his wife in the hopes of winning favor with him.

Secretly she is hated by all.

But if a guy speaks his mind to a woman it is called harassment or sexual harassment.
