Do most women feel inferior to men?
Based on my experience with women, yes, most women do feel inferior to men. I am an Indian woman, so I am speaking from the perspective of Indian women.I have been told time and again that men are better than women (not in so many words, but it’s often implied). So, no matter how much I try to avoid it, this thought gets internalised in my brain. By most standards, I am successful in life. I studied at one of the best NIT’s, was always among top 10 students in the class, got placed first in my class and with the highest package of 11lpa. Four years later, I have been performing well in my career, and my salary has doubled to 22lpa.However, there is always this nagging insecurity at the back of my head, that I have been “given” these things, because I am a girl. I haven’t earned any of this. I have heard so many times that professors give good marks to girls, companies just give placements to girls and so on. So, no matter how much I achieve in life, it never gives me confidence. When I hear the term “diversity inclusion” in corporate culture, it makes my blood boil. It gives another excuse to people to spread the notion that women just get things, without having to work for it.Whenever I am stuck at some hard piece of work, some new programming language that I don’t get, my first thought is that I can’t do this because I am a girl. Girls don’t have techy brains. I know this is a lie, but when you hear something thousands of times, it starts sounding true. I have to remind myself that this is just an excuse I am thinking of when the going gets hard. I am sharp, as sharp as guys, if not more.And it’s not just me, my women friends also have this notion. Educated, working, independent women. They think that important decisions should be taken by men. Women don’t think logically. Men know better. They are happy to have their fathers or husbands or brothers take decisions for them.That is why men get all the respect, because they have all the resposibility. And that is why women are treated like children. Until and unless women are ready to shoulder responsibilities, they are not going to get any respect from anyone.

Is it normal to feel inferior because my GF earns more money?
Its quite normal. Men are suppose to be providers, its not only cultural but also that's how God designed men and women to be. Women are suppose to attend to the children & home and men are the one's who provide the financial support. What you feel is normal, no matter what they say about men & women being equal etc. So, in God's eyes you are not being shallow or sexist..your just being realistic about your roles as husband and wife in the future. BUT...It doesn't mean you should dwell on it all the time to the point that it would affect your relationship with her. For her to agree on your engagement only means she accept you for who you are. It's already a very big thing and shows just how much your girl loves you. You should be proud... I suggest you guys just talk about it and be open to her about what you feel regarding your finances before you guys get married. It's very important that you guys sort all things out first, every detail and concern because marriage is a lifetime commitment. At the same time this will also help you be more at peace with the issue. I'm sure you guys can work it out, out of your love for each other. As for you, try to strive more in your work, aim big! Be wise with your investment and with a lot of prayers and trust on God your financial situation would surely improve, maybe even better than her's in the future ;-) don't think you can't...believe you can. God knows where your heart is, it will all work out in the end..don't worry. Congratulation on your engagement.
Why do men feel that women are inferior to them?
Even if they will argue that women are just as smart, just as capable, and just as important in a marriage as men, they still treat their wives as if everything they say or try to do is stupid. Then get mad at her if she apologizes for being stupid. Please no rude answers. I really want to understand this problem in my marriage and obviously am not able to find out from my husband.
I'm a girl but I act like a guy because I don't want to feel inferior than guys. Is that even normal and what should I do to dispose my inferiority complex?
Vesper Lynd: [after discussing poker skills on the train] What else can you surmise, Mr. Bond? James Bond: About you, Miss Lynd? Well, your beauty's a problem. You worry you won't be taken seriously. Vesper Lynd: Which one can say of any attractive woman with half a brain. James Bond: True. But this one overcompensates by wearing slightly masculine clothing. Being more aggressive than her female colleagues. Which gives her a somewhat *prickly* demeanor, and ironically enough, makes it less likely for her to be accepted and promoted by her male superiors, who mistake her insecurities for arrogance. We are at a point in history where the line between male and female is blurred. Females in the work place have to overcome the male only atmosphere that has dominated many professions like law and banking. Harvard professor, Harvey Mansfield, says. "Manliness is ultimately related to assertiveness—'decisiveness without complete knowledge'—and its place in society is debated. In an interview, Mansfield said, 'manliness can be bad as well as good.'There are examples of some manly women. Take Margaret Thatcher for example, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990. A Soviet journalist referred to her as the "Iron Lady" because of her "uncompromising politics and leadership style." She strictly opposed socialism and the Soviet Union. Margaret Thatcher Iron LadyIf you are comfortable being manly, and it helps you to do your job, then go ahead. Manliness is a relative of courage, the strength to stand up in a time of difficulty. Every organization needs a lion.
Women, do you feel inferior to men? why? (no offense intended)?
Cinnamon, I think there are some bad men (IE the ones who dwell the internet and well...you know how it gets) but I think like you said, a lot of men who are outgoing and happy to be in social situations are the ones you described, kind and friendly. I think both men and women have a bad name (men, abusive, rude, pigs, etc. & women, shallow, gold digging, negligible) I think in general though, most people are good. Just that the bad ones stick out most. This was insightful. thank you for your answers. I doubt I have a full understanding on the subject yet, perhaps not even close, but I'm glad I feel I'm beginning to understand women more (and men for that case).
Are boys more likely to feel inferior?
This comes from a fairly weird guy so I can't speak for females or even the entire male population. I think that many issues with today's society make males insecure. For example, men (at least where I live) are expected to be strong and unemotional. For a guy like me who prefers talking philosophy to pumping iron, or watching a sunset instead of racing cars, this can get to you (disclaimer: I do have respect for guys who pump iron and race cars. Whatever floats your boat.). I still have self confidence issues about some facets of myself, but once one accepts that it's okay to be different or outside the norm, your life gets a whole lot better.So are boys more likely to be inferior? Anyone can feel inferior, especially if they take others' opinions a tad bit too highly and compare themselves to the norm. This is what I know. I can't speak for everyone.
I often feel inferior and threatened by other men, how do I cope with it?
I was once in this very stage at a point in my life, no friends, poor social life,I could barely keep and satisfy a girl and whenever I was around men I always felt inferior, that I wasnt man enough, that I was slipping and not up to par.To even make matters worse, everybody I met was always trying to prove to me that they were better than me, and I was wasting my energy on thinking about my problems and trying to prove to anyone I meet or will meet that I was on point, rather than keep doing my thing and living my life, to the extent that I became a very uptight and weird person.The truth struck me one day when I was reading a particular chapter in “The Key to Success” (fifth Edition) that, while I was busy trying not to feel inferior whenever I was around men, They were also, deep down trying and fighting hard not to feel inferior around me as well.I realized that, we are all a work in progress, that nobody is 100 percent.*Bottomline?1: “All things Being Equal”, you may feel inferior around some men, you are also superior to some men.2: You may not have been able to accomplish somethings your mate have, but surely you definitely have done/doing things some men wish/plan to do in life.3: You may not have a girlfriend now, but if you keep working on your online business and you become successful, “All the girls in the world will qeuque to look at you”.Remember, that “It is a Dog, Eats Dog” world, people will always look for a crack in your wall, they will always want to outwit you and it is up to you to not show even a slight sign of weakness, but courage and confidence, because…1: The only person you owe accountability to is yourself alone. (you don't have to prove anything to anyone).2: The only person you can compare to yourself is “YOU” alone ( You are in a league of your own).3: Your life is your canvas, you are the artist and the painting brush is in your hand alone.I hope this is helpful, because, Like you, I am young too and I can only tell you what I know the way I understand it.#RoadsideTreasure.
