Are girls dependent and weak?

Well I am a female and I think I am way too independent, so I guess everyone is different, infact I would say I have met many men who relied on me too much so I guess there is dependent types on both side, I wish I wasn't so independent....

getbiswa2000 oh my you are going to hear from some irate women I will bet. no not all girls or women are cruel or self centered or vulnerable. for one thing a cruel self centered person, male or female is not very vulnerable at all., you have a very low biased opinion of women. Women now days are mostly independent and not weak , maybe they are not as physically strong as men but courage,bravery, those strengths are theirs. we bear children men do not they are too weak to sustain the pain of child birth. And no most women are not engrossed in material stuffs as you so gallantly,not,put it. I do not agree with any of your unkind remarks. also sir, a lot of men have all the same characteristics that you described. so are all men mean, unking, cruel, selfish and on and on? no of course not.

I definitely feel that there is some sort of cultural reason you are saying this - perhaps the women around you seem to act this way because that is how your culture is and how everybody is raised. It has never been that way here, as far as I am concerned. I teach my daughter that she can be anything, do anything. I always felt from a young age that I can be anything, do anything. I lived on my own for awhile so I know that I can. I worked full time for 10 years and part time for at least another year or two outside my home. I can't say I preferred living alone or working full time, but as far as can a girl do it, of course she can. There is no reason based on gender that anybody couldn't. There is no physical, emotional, or mental reason that a girl should be considered any less capable, any less knowledgable, any less determined, and any less independent just because she is a girl. I know many people who practice double standards. If you allow your boys to wander around town but not your girls, that is a double standard. If you encourage your boys to play sports or join the military or go to college or trade school but you don't encourage your girls to do the very same things, that is also a double standard and one of the REASONS girls may not do those things. it is not because they CAN'T or SHOULDN'T, it is because of what parents do while parenting.

most of girls are sensible.they are proud of themselves to some extent.when they fall in love with somebody,they wish they could live together forever.their husband and children will be more important than themselves.so ,find the girl who really love you so much,you will find a different world.

I have high regard for women. I am the only son and i was raised by a bunch of ladies whom i dearly love. They are not weak, they are dependent yes but just like i was dependent of them. They could be weak physically compared to men but their strength lies not physically but mentally. I can say that they're even cunning. Well, my wife is. But generally speaking an individual's strengths and weaknesses lie on how that person was raised and how he adapted to his/her environment and not based solely on his/her gender.

It depends on the girl, not every girl is independent because of some or the other reason. There are very less girl education in India at least for girls and that is a primary reason for being dependent on someone else. Even in history we have Laxmibai, Durgavati and many more brave names who have fought for country and their rights. This is not true that girls can not see beyond certain boundaries, currently there are many examples whether its Sonia Gandhi or a girl from small town who is well educated and aware of her rights. They are as strong as a boy, we should always pay respect to girls, I am sure that girls are no less in any field. They are not weak and dependent at all. happy Thoughts :)

I think most of these things are a combination of socialization and inborn personality. There are some females who fit the description that you are giving, but most of the ones I have encountered were in some way encouraged to be that way by either parents, their peer group, or popular media. That isn't the say that an individual can't actually be born with certain personality traits, but often even girls who fit this stereotype will behave differently when not in their normal environment. I suppose as a female myself I should say 'I'm like this' or 'I'm not like this' but my own situation is so different as to not apply, I'd think. I grew up mostly having to take care of myself, sometimes even living on the street, and now as an adult am the single parent of a child with severe medical and developmental problems. So I'm not in any way dependent, but there hasn't even been an opportunity for me to be either, just as there has never been an opportunity for me to become fixated on material things.

i would say weak and dependent why because when you date her you will be the one taking all the bill out pays when eating, shopping, watching movies, and others..

Hi getbiswa2000,I should say not at all times the girls are dependent and weak.There were times that a girl is independent and strong enough to face what ever circumstances in life.For me not only girls are dependent,there are also boys that dependent too.I think being dependent depends on a person and his/her visions of life.Thanks,Happy mylotting!

Hi Getbiswa, As a girl, I can tell you that we can be all those things.....it all depends on our hormones. Oh its easy to say "blame it on the hormones" but its true. So many times Ive felt like yelling and breaking everything and the next day Im all chirpy and happy. We dont understand ourselves most of the time, so how do you expect us to explain ourselves?? Im sorry I cant be of more help but Im being honest here.

well the thinh=g whoch you are taking about like girls are dependent and weak from inside is a very old concept...maybe of the late 90s..but its mordernised now..earlier it was a man dependent world but noe things have changed and both have equal depepndence and indipendence...women are now a days very indipendent natured and free minded and does not depend on boys at all

I totally disagree with you, and I talked for myself and based in the way I am and my personal experiences, I have always being extremely independent, even since I was a child, and I am also very feminine, I am engineer, a field that has been dominated by men all the time, but even when I work with guys and I am around them all the time, I am very feminine, I like to dress up and look good. For me dependence and femininity are two totally different things and one can exist without the other one. Also sometimes parents teach the girls to be dependent and egocentric, they teach them that they have to look for a husband with money instead of teaching them to have a successful career and a good education because at the end of the day, your education is the only one thing that no one can take. Probably some of the girls you know are materialistic and dependent, but that doesn't mean that everybody is like that, me and my female friends we are all professionals in our 20s, we all live independents and we actually hate the egocentric and materialistic women, because those are the ones who give us a bad name.

Yes, they are dependent and weak. But not all the girls. There are many girls who live alone. They just become dependent when there is someone who they can depend upon. Don't just ask this question to a girl face to face or she will blast you.

ya girls are weak physically but mentally strong.

Depending on the types of girl you have encounter their are some with stable and fixed mind and some have some have changeable mind. In my own observation girls who have attain a high status in life and built her own career on strong grounds have tendency to have form an independent opinion and could take of itself without depending to anybody is a courageous woman and have establish herself as successful. being term as a woman is not weaknesses it is rather an epitome of being dignified being a strong woman could transform itself to being a loving mother and caring wife. So the changes in her life is what are being describes as a weaknesses since she tend to sacrifices a lot of opportunity to marry and bear a child when in fact she could have all of her time to focus more on her improvement and be selfish enough to gain a lot of benefits. but many sacrifices and that is the essence of a woman having a good character which their is a saying behind every man success is a woman which is very true indeed.

i like to depend on my boyfriend and get his attention. I am not financial stable and need his help to pay my credit card bills. He is willing to help me sincerely. I think guys should help their girlfriend and should not be so calculative.

Not any more. These days the girls are totally independent. Most of girls live outside their home these days whether it be for study purpose or job. And most of the time, they do both i.e. job and study together and manage their house also. Even married women prefer to work these days and if u look around, u will find them managing their house, kids, husbands and job very nicely. It is the independent nature and strong will power on part of women that keeps them going and these two strong characteristics I find missing in boys these days.

well being a girl i can say thet women r not that vulnarable or weak or dependent as they r thought to be....now a days if a girl is brought up in a same environment that of a boy she can really give him a tuff competition... i think women have been dominated since the ancient times...and they r always told to be dependent on male head of their family, may be its her father or her husband or anyone else...they are taught to be devoted towards their family not towards their career... still todays parents save money for a boy to send him abroad and for a girl to get her married properly...its in the root of our society... there are still many men who cannot stand a female boss...male domitated society we have so women has to do much struggle for the existence of herself nd her dignity or independence.... being a girl i can say i am quite independent but it never took me to cruelty or selfcenteredness or vulnarablity though maintaining my feminity in all aspects...

I completely agree with you. This made be due to women being the last creature God created, so he was probably dog tired by then :( And you know what happens when you are working a project feeling tired, sleep deprived, stressed out.....most the time the outcome is not satisfactory :(

Hello friends, I'm not thinking so now girls are more independent compare to the boys. It is wrong conception that girls are dependent and weak.They can do everything that a boy can. So don't think that girls are dependent and weak bye.
