I love that, for women, "ill-tempered and overbearing" is literally synonymous with having "great strength and courage." :rolleyes:

Kind of sounds like a woman who is ill-tempered because she had no one to help her so she became strong.  Courage to speak your mind could definitely be seen as overbearing especially in a time when women weren't supposed to have opinions.

Definitely sounds like a survivor having a bad day.  :yesnod:  I would probably be friends with her.

Women weren't supposed to have opinions....?
Come on, give credit where credit is due....!
It took a lot of time and effort for us men to teach you women how to have your own opinions....    :smirk:

The thing about women is that women of great strenght and courage are usually ill-tempered and overbearing. That's just how it is. Women are usually more emotional than men. I'ld say that it's about 65-35 as far as emotional women to men. I was about to say 60-40, but I do know many men with feminine emotional constitutions. However, I do know maybe three women that have great strenght and courage, that aren't ill-tempered and overbearing. They are masculine in this way. But I'm sure we've all known men, probably superiors at work, that were "viragos". It's interesting though, that Nietzche' predictions about women becoming overall more masculine is coming true. Men are also becoming more feminine. I see this as a bad thing. Call me old-fashioned, I guess.

:lol: Nietzsche's views on women were his weakest ideas. I can forgive him considering his sad life story (lived in a brutally sexist era, daddy died, authoritiarian mom and aunt traumatize the poor little guy and then when he proposed to a women he loved she suggested a menage au trois and eventually ditched him altogether.) But that doesn't make his ideas on women any more better than they were. They're his embarrassing little fuck up, kind of like Heidegger's Nazi phase.

So you don't think that women have become more masculine over time? As far as men becoming more feminine, I read an article that states this is a proven fact in most industrialized nations, especially the U.S. This article attributed this to the fact that are drinking water is loaded with chemicals, including discarded pharmeceuticals. They first noticed it in fish, but now they're seeing it in human males as well. That's part of the reason for the increase in men with E.D. these days. And of men just being less "manly". I think it's a cultural thing too, though.

The breakdown of traditional gender roles has more to do with social change than it does the contents of drinking water. I think it's incredibly positive.
