1_trick_pony Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 All these things seem like common sense to me but whenever I have expressed these views in front of a feminist I get called a misogynist. Woogle, if any person calls you a misogynist for those beliefs, they are stupid, closed minded, people charading as a feminist IMHO
Mary3 Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Just skimming the thread but... IMO it's usually not about arrogance or intelligence or feminism, etc. It's about being in a relationship where a man feels respected for his competence. I think that's a big part of what makes relationships emotionally fulfilling for men. And there's few things that are tolerated less than a woman (or anyone for that matter) who makes a man feel incompetent (whether fairly or unfairly, intentionally or unintentionally). I think men are just much more sensitive to that than women are. So I would say that if a women is much smarter than the man it's not necessarily the fact that she is so smart, it's just that it's much more likely that he'll frequently feel incompetent and most men can't/don't want to deal with that. You may have hit the nail on the head. A man is either Confidant or he's Not. So maybe Woggle had strong women demeaning him to the point of Hatred. When he comes across a strong woman he basically feels inferior and feels like he needs to hate her guts. Label her badly. And blame any woman coming across his path with malice. Its true. You either have your sheeet together as a man or you don't. If you dont , then women will bother you to no ends of the earth. You just dont feel you can muster up to her level. Thats makes it an ISSUE. And the man OWNS that issue....
Pink Cupcakes Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 How can you call a person with an MD over-educated? If all MDs are "over-educated" we'd have no doctors.
Pink Cupcakes Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Absolutely. I am a teacher and they are all married to or in relationships with people who are college graduates. It all depends.. you can have High School only and be very successful in life.. I don't think it has anything to do with intelligence... to some degree... although... I can hardly see a neuro surgeon (male or female) dating a 'house cleaning lady' or a car mechacic... not that s/he's not intelligent.. they are simply not on the same 'level' of education... and that's quite normal... as they 'highly educated' people will find partners in the same circle of people... IMO
