The question: Is a man intimidated by a strong independent woman? The answers are endless, but I believe that it isn’t intimidation; it is role confusion. The role confusion begins in the home. God designed the home (home meaning family) to have a man and a woman. God designed it this way so that there would be a balance. The children learn or model behaviors from both parents. The son learns from the father how to be a provider, how to love a woman, how to give, how to protect, how to use his hands to work for his family. The son learns from the mother how to accept a woman’s love, how to endure through hard times, and how to accept his role as a man in the life of a woman and family. The daughter learns from the father how a man should treat a woman, how to accept a man providing for her without feeling like she’s being controlled, how to protect herself from what this world is going to bring to her way. The daughter learns from the mother how to nurture her family, how to love a man, how to make a man feel needed, how to be independent, but not superior or not make a man feel inferior to her; and how to hold the family together when hard times come.
So when God’s design for balance in the home is missing, then we find ourselves at this question.
I can go on and on, about where the root of the problem lies, but to begin to fix the problem we have to learn how to communicate effectively. It is a myth that women know how to communicate and men don’t. There are men and women, who are great communicators, and there are men and women who need to learn how to communicate.
There must be a balance to everything and I'm all for women being independent and successful, shoot for me that’s attractive. My problem comes when you hold stuff over people's head or make a person feel inferior. Ladies don't become empowered and then turn around and take power from the men you are dating. If you can't be a loving, caring, woman who is successful, but can still uplift your man; then you really don't need to be dating and should stay single.
