The idea that strong women are intimidating and unattractive to men is
one that has permeated across societies and cultures. Coupled with the
other toxic notion that a woman’s greatest ambition in life is to find
and marry a man, women have been discouraged from cultivating strength,
power and independence. According to traditional values, these traits
are best left in the hands of men, and to pursue these attributes would
be unbecoming and unfeminine for a woman, surely leaving her alone.
Thankfully, it is 2016 and some of these ideologies about how a woman should act and her place in this world have become
antiquated with modern times. However, for some men, strong women are still a source of discomfort and intimidation.
To these men, the woman who speaks her mind is merely loud. The woman who places her worth in her own hands instead of the hands of men is disconnected. The woman who tells you what she needs is bossy. The woman who is career driven is uptight.
The strong woman is unattractive.
But the truth
is, if you cannot appreciate a woman who is self-assured, a woman who is
unapologetically, completely and defiantly herself, then you’re the one
missing out, not her.
If you cannot handle a strong woman who chases dreams and goals and
promotions, then you’re honestly just kind of a dick. If you expect a
woman to change so she aligns with your own ideas of how a woman should
or should not be, then keep walking because she’s definitely not
stopping for you.
And please note that a strong woman will not mind if you are
intimidated. Not even slightly! She will not change her demeanor to make
your masculinity feel less threatened. A strong woman will not make herself smaller to make you feel bigger.
A strong woman will not be quiet so your voice is the only one that
echoes. She will not fail to express her opinion if it differs from
yours.
A strong woman will not change herself to make you like her, and she will not try to convince you to feel differently about her either. Because here’s the thing:
If you’re intimidated by strong women, she is not interested in you anyway
