"Think about how strong women are regarded vs men who exhibit the same behavior. A woman that does what she needs to get what she deserves runs the risk of being called a "bitch" or, at the very least, being thought of as unfeminine. "
I think that most men who exhibit the same behavior that would get a woman the title of "bitch" fall under the umbrella of "sociopathic asshole". It just so happens that there's a lot more of those, especially in upper management, so it almost becomes the norm, and thus people don't complain about the status quo.
- erikpukinskis 15y agoYou're way off. A guy walks up to a woman and says something to her. She says "I'd rather not talk to you right now" in a direct, unapologetic way. A small but real minority of men would instantly label her a bitch. No one would call a man who said that a "sociopathic asshole".
- itsameta4 15y ago>A small but real minority of men would instantly label her a bitch. Well, yeah - they put themselves out there and got swatted aside without a second thought. That's called a defense mechanism. Actually calling her a bitch is something else, though. >No one would call a man who said that a "sociopathic asshole". Sociopathic, no, but I'd certainly call him an asshole.
