Yeah. I understand--why are some of us living a double life.

I agree with your post OP but having said that, Independence does not mean one day we can't reply on somebody for help not excluding financial assistance.

The truth about men been scared of independent women arise as a result of fear of the unknown.

Women are unpredictable. Either financially buoyant at the moment or not, who knows the monster that will be unleash if their hands get to power/plenty money.

Hitherto, women rule by influence not by power and so as an independent lady who is sub missive, loving and possess the necessary ingredient of a virtuous woman will one day gain the necessary support by her husband and people around.

So my point is men should know the kind of woman they shud date/marry and If u are lucky u get to see an independent woman who is down to earth, don't miss the opportunity because they are rare gem.

Personally, I love independent women. @ least, she'll make me save more cos there's no expensive gift that you'll buy for her that will make her 'trip' more. I've found out from experience that dependent women make u spend unnecessarily.

The answer is that humans, not just the men folk, are insatiable. If a lady is dependent, the same men will complain that the ladies are needy and give them all sorts of name tags. When the ladies decide to be independent and cater for themselves, the make folk goes at it again being most times jealous, insecure, etc.

So the bottom line is that " man " is INSATIABLE...

Most men not ALL feel insecured about independent lady. For me, I don't care whether a lady is independent or not because i'll marry her irregardless of her financial status - fùck submissiveness. What I care about is a loving, educated, intelligent and caring wife. With submissiveness, some men still don't respect their wife.

When "Missjenna" posted that about being an independent lady who won't depend on a man, she was bashed all through. I don't care whether she was telling the truth or not because some people were insinuating that she's a pseudo-female moniker, but it seems most guys on this section/forum hate independent ladies but they'd still bash ladies who crave for her husband to provide everything for her. Confusionists

I stumbled upon an old thread this morning and Sinaj made this comment;


She got a reply which i found shocking, disheartening and sexist in a way.

Now, this dude;
1) Felt that unmarried ladies are embittered about their single life but I doubt it - I won't deny the fact that some of them aren't happy.
In my opinion, I feel it's guys that are desperate about marriage with the way they bash single ladies e.g Genevieve Nnaji, Rita Dominic and colleague who hasn't gotten married.
Chimamanda would have been a victim but she's happily married.

2) This dude feel that unmarried ladies are placed with a bad tag - I think NairaLand is only place where sexists flex their power. So I doubt this claim. No one cares about the life of a single lady in the real world.

My fellow men, why are you bashing women?

I've read feminism articles, and it seems feminist/independent women also dislike men that are insecure about them.

Is the feeling mutual? cheesy

First and foremost, the men who have prejudices against independent women are suffering from inferiority complex and a low self esteem. This is bred from male-dominated cultural norms that have been teaching them that a woman is of a "weaker sex". We still see this all around like you find in that crap of a show called gulder ultimate search. Mind you, I drink beer and gulder is my brand. But I callathe show cwhenbecause it is obviously designed to be brawn-over-brain. That explains why men keep winning it. Is it only men that drink gulder?
Back from the digression, a lot of men really need to take a hard look at themselves. Simple truth is your negative views and actions are borne out of an inferiority complex leading frustrated self-reassuring

independent women don't make men feel inferior....they can't make men feel inferior

they wrongly think the only way men will accept them as equals is if they are confrontational but that only backfires because men don't accept each other as men by being confrontational. so, they go around saying men are intimidated by them or feel inferior around them when they're ignored or avoided

the truth of the matter is, it's physiologically impossible for a woman to make a man feel inferior....it's not men's fault or women's fault...it's nature
Re: Why Do Most Men Feel Insecured About Independent Women by Ejisz: 4:44pm On Feb 27, 2015
True
but I would say only men that lack self confidence can feel inferior

I know a good number of confident bros who only woo independent women.

Re: Why Do Most Men Feel Insecured About Independent Women by Setaje(f): 4:46pm On Feb 27, 2015
Nigerian men grew up to always take charge. The moment they fall short they start acting aggressive towards the woman who is the bread winner so they won't loose their authority. That african man mentality is still engraved in a lot of them. Many of them see man and wife as master and slave. A woman who becomes the bread winner should be accorded due respect but many african men don't feel so.


Nevertheless, I do not pray for any man not to be able to cater for his family. Its a terrible thing o. Your once lovely wife might turn against u. I see this thing happen. The moment she begins to pay the house rent, the day u people fight is the day the whole house will no she is the bread winner. Women don't do a good job hiding it at all. Trust me I know! Infact it takes a very humble woman to cater for the family and not turn proud. My mum told me while they were younger and things were so tough. She was working while dad was looking for a job. She said she always dropped her salary under the pillow. She says this days we youths don't have native mentality and men are so irresponsible that they collect the womans money anyhow and even fight her when she doesn't drop. She said she new my dad felt somehow to ask so she did what a good wife should until when my dad got a very good job.

Personally I feel that women in general are not wired to cater. They are wired to nuture. Likewise when a man began to cook, clean and do stuffs generally done by women, he might just start to loose self esteem and his ego will be deflated which is understandable.


Lastly a good woman whether dependent or independent won't make u loose your respect. Its just quite difficulty to see an independent lady who is humble and it's hard to see a dependent man who appreciates his wife

The thing is,independent women have the mind of a man that makes them a male-woman....and i believe women that are like that are meant for a female-man....and i am a male-man....so the only woman that can fit me is a female-woman....so marrying a male-woman would be like marrying my male friend in a female form....we'll do all sorts of things together but our emotions fuse....thats why i prefer a female-woman that'll make me secure in her and i in her....so to be honest they make me insecure....thats why if they continue to approach me,my answer will continue to be a no because because if i fall for her...her ways WILL give me an heartattack and i'm prepared but not ready to die..plus i no go f.uck her,cuz if i do that'll be like me f.ucking a male friend,shits impossible...thats why no matter how much i admire them,they'll remain my friend nothing more....so,feminists live your life and this boy will live his....

Not all Independent ladies are not proud, its the guys who are insecured. Women are psychologically emotional, from the pepper seller to the executive director.

Op that's a no- brainier. The fear of an independent woman scares some Naija men silly.....it shrinks their joysticks. grin
And their response is to attack everything about her.......her upbringing and background are denigrated, her source of wealth becomes suspect, her prospects as a good wife becomes suspect. Most men can't even approach her. The bold ones would want to hit her and run.....no longterm intentions.

But it's not entirely their fault. Our society ingrains that air of superiority in our men that some have forgotten that the world is changing fast. Women are now recording more exploits than they are thought capable of. So men, loosen up and wisen up!
My humble submission

I agree with you that so many guys feel intimidated by the success of a lady. Such guys could be aggressive over the slightest mistake of the woman. I've had the privilege of dating ladies who are far richer and I didn't have problem with them. Though there was one who used to complain each time she visited me. She would complain about the size of my 2 bedroom apartment and tell me all about the comfort of her 2 storey duplex. Though her pride irritated me, yet I was not intimidated. I would make my stand known to her on any issue.
