Excuse me? I'm not saying you're entirely incorrect, but declaring a pattern of thought outdated and a brainwashing technique is rather shallow and absurd. It's not always like that, and it's a sad thing you're being very sexist right now, declaring our ideas are 'pardonable' because you feel sorry for us dear souls, who're culturally wronged. Oh goodness, this damsel in distress doesn't know how she was beaten into believing that her husband is god! Who's defying a woman's decisive power to life now?
Outdated - "Men to lead, woman to follow". This was a widely held belief in the sixties. So, I called it outdated.
Brainwashed - Yes. You saw the example of Alpha. She would find it strange, if a woman is playing the leading role in the world. Many girls have a similar opinion and belief.
Sorry if you were offended, but I just outlined why I said the belief is outdated and brainwashed into the minds of girls, from childhood.
Stereotypes suck the energy out of any perception, so for me to assume every woman in the Western ideal of feminism is a prostitute simply because they have looser concepts of modesty and limitations, is absurd and narrow-minded.
Exactly. The same would've been for me too. But I just explained why the belief is outdated and brainwashed.
Anyhow, when talking about roles befitting each gender, within the household and outside the world. Why is it that a woman can earn if she's good at it, but a man can't be pregnant and breastfeeding babies when he's a nurturing personality?
It's true, a woman can be a leader in more goal-oriented organizations rather than adherence-oriented organizations e.g. schools, industries, etc rather than politics.
There are a
FEW roles, which are specific to each gender. They are mainly biological. Men cannot have babies or breastfeed babies.
What is not logical, is that people who justify the "men to lead, women to follow" thing, use this phenomenon to explain how the roles are divided completely among genders. Only a
few roles, concerning maternal duties, are specific to women. Women can do most things, which men do. Women can work in offices, teach, earn money, play, take part in sports just like men. Any woman who believes otherwise, has a lack of self confidence (probably from the 'brainwashing' factor described earlier).
I never implied that a man can make any decision in a woman's absence; in fact, it's not odd that men tend to take opinion from their wives who are 'faithful'. I only imply one thing; when someone has to override the other simply because there's a point of dissent beyond being solved, the man has a veto vote. Why? Because a man can lead, for a list of scientific reasons given above.
'Science' says that a woman has the same capability as an equivalent male. True, a male has more testosterone hormone, for which he may appear to have more muscles than a woman of the same training equivalent, but the strength is the same. You may google it for more information.
So, it is not clear how the male (or the female) can have a veto vote. Saying that men are better at making decisions is simple generalization.
Does that mean a woman can't object if the argument he has made a decision which is morally wrong? Of course she can--she must. But being mad simply because your husband asked you not to go to a party that Saturday and then expecting him to come back home early is wrong. (No, it's not right if the husband attends parties too, either.)
I wouldn't mind if she attends parties without informing me.
The woman has the support of the fact that men like her father, brother and so on are her guardians just as much and they can solve the matter instead of a woman starting blood lust, simply because they have a different role altogether.
As I said, here too, the 'brainwashing' factor comes to play. Girls are taught from an early age that they "CANNOT" be more advanced. This results in them having a lack of self confidence among themselves.
Ask any successful women (money wise), whether she thinks that "men should lead, and women should follow". She would certainly oppose it.
On the other hand, ask a poor women from the village, whether she thinks that "men should lead, and women should follow". She would definitely support it and go on (non stop) how men are more powerful, more intelligent, how her husband is better than her in working and other stuffs saying why she is incapable in doing stuffs. All in all, it will boil down to a lack of SELF CONFIDENCE from being 'brainwashed' at an early age. It happens all the time!
Also, the existence of sixth sense is a debatable issue. I'm not saying I don't mind the extra sense, but, science only is helpful in being logical. As for the good judgment of women in their spouse's loyalty, you should read the psychological analysis Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus to see why a woman is so observant about her spouse. Helps to know, also, if it really counts the time your husband spends in a party.
Maybe I should be more careful when hanging around with girls.
I don't guarantee it always works.
Unless someone is
unusually skilled at controlling body language and facial expressions, a woman's instinct (or sixth sense) would be right in 'catching' a would-be deceiver. She may be wrong, if she doesn't go for her instinct, and mixes emotions concerning the other person.
1) There are better slaves than boys.
Yes. Of course, you are right: The girls!
