Why Some Men Are Intimidated By Independent Women
I’m so sick of hearing single men grumble about how they’re single because “women don’t need them.” The concept of “needing a man” is so ridiculously outdated. It’s clear that men with this kind of mindset are still brainwashed by patriarchy and traditional gender roles. If by “needing a man” that means despairing over our single status and needing a man to define our worth, not being able to screw in a lightbulb without a man’s help, and the sole purpose of our lives being serving a husband and children , then I’m sorry you missed the memo. The word “need” implies desperation and incompleteness. Independent women want a man, but we don’t need one to define our self-worth and happiness. We’re not going to settle for any guy in order to be in a relationship just for the sake of it or to feel validated by society. Plus it’s not “women not needing them” that’s the problem; the problem is themselves. It’s always easier to blame someone else rather than look at yourself and accept that the problem may be you. Here are the reasons why some men are intimidated by independent women.
