Many women are absolutely "Sexist", in spite of "Feminist Fundamentalists" claiming otherwise. According to a recent scientific study, women were found to be happier in their relationships when their partner had more "power".

Feminism has taught people to see the world through the lens of "patriarchy". They are conditioned to ignore and downplay every form of inequality affecting men negatively, and project and twist every other form of inequality or inequity as a bane or assault on women. They are blind to androphobia and misandry, despite the fact that it is the status quo on most cultures, because their entire identity depends on it.

What the fuck do they want now?

The only surprise here is that it's written by a female for a female magazine.

You can argue against biology all you like but you can't beat it.

Apparently, it is definitely the so called "Patriarchy" demanding men to fill the leadership role in their own relationships and obviously not the other way around.

Correct?

Traditional gender roles didn't originate as part of a patriarchal conspiracy. Biological differences are bound in reality.

Generally speaking, men are stronger physically, emotionally, and better at decision making. Women are more supportive, caring, and nurturing.

Roles can reverse depending on situation and individuals but generalizations exist because they're commonly true. And it's fine.

Men don't need to all be betas. Women don't need to all be girlbosses. Fighting nature leads to unhappiness, discontent, and fractured societies. The evidence has been in on this for years.

Can't read it without opening an account. Got another link for this study?

Well Duh. The western worlds feminism was a giant shit-test of men by malignant narc females who used positions of advocacy to express their odious nature while being praised instead of condemned for it.

CS lewis said that if you give someone a good cause they can commit all kinds of bad things against others and feel justified.

These people are more like "I want to hurt others, how can I justify it to the world".

Women like it when you make the decisions for them.
We never talked about the topic, but after countless "what do you want for dinner" "I don' know. what do you want?" type of interactions I just went ahead and decided stuff on my own and she rarely complained.

No surprises here. Women love “toxic masculinity”

Low_Rich_5436 · 2023-12-23T08:10:53+00:00

Science once again smashing down open doors.

In that aspect I'm glad I'm gay. Managing the heterosexual imbalance looks exhausting.

Men and women need each other, and both play different roles.

The happier bit doesn’t surprise me. My mother, now 70 and due to illness is approaching end of life.

We were chatting one night about if she has any regrets and she said that she felt she would have been happier had she been a stay at home mom, or at least something more traditional.

I was shocked actually, she was the first woman of the family to have a successful career. First one to make over 100k (back in the 80s), she rose to being head of finance in her company after 15 years, etc.

However, it ended rather abruptly due to a nervous breakdown when I was a teenager.

I always looked at her as a super strong women, and she was, but it turns out she was incredibly unhappy.

She said to me, she felt she had been “lied to” growing up. Not by her parents but all the voices saying not that you “could” but “should” have a career, have it all, don’t be trapped by a man.

She certainly could do all of those things, and she largely did. But she said she felt guilty for missing portions of my childhood due to work, and things she really enjoyed, having a nice home, hosting holidays, gardening, crafts she always put on the back burner to “prove something”.

It was a rather sad conversation. She spends most of her days now watching old movies on AMC and you can see what she likes in them to some degree.

There is a huge difference in telling people they are capable, and they could do something. That is different than that they “should” do something.

My grandparents helped raise me, and with their help I had for most of my childhood a rather traditional childhood. Someone home or picking me up from school, dinner as a family every night, people present in my life. I think my mom regrets that she wasn’t able to provide most of that herself.

Sadly, I was the only kid in my friend group that had this type of stability and continuity. I am now the most successful member of my family by a rather drastic margin, and that of my friend group. I owe a lot of that to the stability of my childhood. I think we undervalue how important that is. As if some job, that no one is going to remember, is somehow more important.

It happens because there is no downside. Women are largely free to say whatever they want about men, in much the same way the most appalling, outspoken, direct racial bigotry is expressed by anyone who isn't white about anyone who is. There is no control over it; it is not disapproved-of. Both my examples kept their jobs; my first example later reinforced that she was not joking and the latter only got in serious trouble when she was accused of antisemitism after years of intermittent racist outbursts.

Quite the opposite; it's often encouraged with such ludicrous terms as "taking back power", or laughed up as good comedy.

Regardless how anyone feels about this - even if someone might think it's absolutely justifiable and correct - the reality is that it will inevitably cause growing resentment among the target group, alienating people who would have otherwise been entirely supportive and growing division and lack of communication between different parts of society.

Where anyone expects this to end I hate to think.

Am I reading this correctly: Men who feel they are in charge result in higher relationship quality for women even if the men are not actually in charge? If so, is there any statistically significant difference in relationship quality when the men both feel and are in charge than when they feel and are not actually in charge? Also, what if I only feel in charge if I actually am in charge?

The article didn’t specify that they surveyed feminists.

Feminists often like to say though, that the biggest supporters of patriarchy are women. So this simply confirms the suspicions of those feminists who are more inclined to acknowledge women's agency in the construction of our society, even if their conclusions are wrongheaded.
