What makes a man think a woman can't do the same thing he does?

Why do some men think that when they do something it's okay, but when the woman does the same thing the world is coming to an end? Nearing the end of a long relationship and I'm doing the same thing he used to do like just leave the house without saying anything and not answering my phone. I can't believe he's reacting the way he is. I guess now he knows how I used to feel.

i do not think that at all i would like to see woman that can do more. I was a tree cutter in the pacific northwest for many years, i wanted to meet a woman tree topper but i never met on who could even climb a spare pole, lol. i would have loved to have a woman tree cutter on my crew. I wish more woman could do the same jobs.

No one really knows how someone feels until they are given a taste of their own medicine. I think your man realized now what he did to you. I think it is his ego that is driving him to react like that. Maybe he expects that just because you are a woman you ought to ask for his permission to go somewhere or you always have to answer his calls.

I think that's exactly what he thinks. I just don't care what he thinks anymore.

Men who think highly of themselves act that way, it's as if nobody has the right to go against them. Most often they don't treat their women as partners whose opinion and feelings they should respect and consider. When a relationship ends, it has to be them who ended it. It hurts their ego so much if it's the other way around.

That's what he wanted, but I beat him to the punch. I already figured that's why he was acting like he's so much in love with me now.

sometimes it takes one to know one.... so the guy will soon realize if he gets a dose of his own medicine....

I already know that it's eating him up inside to be treated the same way he treated me. Now he sees that it's not a good feeling at all. I just walk around calm about everything because I don't care anymore. It's already over because I said so!

i guess a man thinks that a woman cant do thing like men's because he thinks that women are feminine.. and by being feminine, she logically thinks that women cannot do though jobs like men can do..

this is the traditional belief that men should take control of everything and they are superior to women.so some men think they have the right to do things that women are supposed to do.
