Some yes and some no. If I compare my ex-husband, then it is a definite. He could not stand my being so successful in my career while he was not doing well with his. He could not even stand my name being first on just about anything even the checking account.
My live in boyfriend on the other hand while I was still working in my career was/is very supportive and would not bat an eye to think anything indifferent outside of me being happy and successful at whatever I do.
To to sum, it depends on the individual because I have seen women threatened too and also felt very small if they were not doing as well in their career as their men.

Weak men are, but strong men are not.
Don't you agree?

Men who are threatened by strong women are nothing but whiny little whimps. If they had any self confidence at all, they would not be threatened.

There are some men that are afraid of a strong woman and there are some who aren't. The one's who are afraid of a strong woman would rather have a woman they can control which is in truth, a weak man. A strong man can handle a strong woman because they don't feel the need to control them. My hubby and I are strong individuals but in different fields so we make a strong TEAM. lol

I think yes. They are threatened by the strength of women. I see many husbands bullying their women and they enjoy doing the same. I did not like it and opposed the same when I was in my college. But when I got married and faced the same situation, I was agonized.

Although they won't readily admit it, I believe that the vast majority of men are intimidated by strong women. It's a rather annoying trait for men to feel they have to be the dominant species. I like a woman who is strong-willed, intelligent, and who knows what she wants. A woman should be your equal, not someone you can domineer.

I think some men in this day and age, do feel threatened by sme women. Alot of women have become strong and very independent.

If a man is then he isn't a man. Men should know that they are the leaders of their family, relationship and friendships with women. A strong woman is a turn on because men like a woman who has moxie but they don't want to compete with a woman because frankly women are not supposed to take the male role. Its dominate oriented and women don't possess those kids of traits, if they do adopt them because their man won't then they will loose their role as carer and nurturer.
