Why does society coddle women so much and do you think this will ever change?

http://www.frederica.com/writings/men-protecting-women.html





Men's lives are risked even as teenagers.


I have heard of places where women have their own bus stops.


and ALL men are expected to protect ALL women.


I have never seen a woman die for a man that she wasn't related to.

Yup. Discrimination on ships. I bet women still survive at higher rates than men.





As soon as a female POW is in trouble the whole world comes running in yet nine men were allowed to be shot.





Yet when a woman dies its a big deal. And newspapers make a bigger deal out of one woman dying compared to numerous men.





I have never seen a woman work long hours to support a man or family. Nor have I ever seen a woman take care of a sick or dying spouse.





And how unfair is it that women get to retire earlier and don't have to sign up for the draft.





Lets not even go into why women live longer.





Or why men commit suicide more often than women.





Or why the majority of the homeless are men.





Or why divorce courts favor women.





Or why women receive less punishment than men for anything.





Or why 70% of husbands make more money than wives yet women do 80% of the spending.





Or why





And in exchange for all this women punish men. Women are allowed to hit cheating men, and men who make unwanted sexual advances. I am sure the same does not apply to men whose honor has been compromised.





I have never heard of a woman attack another woman for hitting a man.





Society is pretty messed up if men protect women and women abuse men.











I'm generalizing here. I am sure there are numerous examples of good women.





I do know families where the woman works and the man is retired.








and women do die to save men both in the military. I know there are heroic women.





Here is one who protected her male soldiers

And a woman who died to protect her husband

And a woman who poured her heart and soul into rescuing her husband





http://www.lhj.com/relationships/can-this-marriage-be-saved/unsolvable-conflicts/my-sick-husband-got-better-and-our-marriage-got-worse/





And women who even save their husbands and fathers by beating out flames with their bare hands

And women do take care of their parents.





And form charities to help men.





And women give more organs than men and men receive more organs than women. And I know women give more blood marrow and blood.





And I have heard of women in African countries torn apart by war travel long distances to get food for their husbands and children.





But in general a woman is cared for MORE and is the one who is considered to be precious and valuable and is coddled and taken care of more.














Men are the nurturers of the family. Men are the ones that keep everyone together.








Women expect men to do all the asking out. I'm not saying women should be facing all the rejection but what's wrong with meeting a man half way.








Women are hardly the nurturing caring one's either.





A man is always a woman's emotional rock.





A WOMAN IS NEVER THE ONE WHO IS LESS EMOTIONAL AND HIS ROCK. SHE IS NEVER HIS NURTURER AND EMOTIONAL PROTECTOR. NO MATTER HOW FAR INTO THE RELATIONSHIP HE TAKES MORE RISKS.





A woman is allowed to cry at physical pain. Women give less sympathy when partners are sick














Nor have I ever seen a woman do the protective things men do for wives, and even friends such as giving up seats(and standing uncomfortably on buses for hours), getting the car in the rain,giving up jackets, carrying heavy objects, walking home, driving her home, calling a cab to take her home safely, carrying her when she falls down , calling to make sure she got home safely, holding doors, paying, walking street side and positioning himself in between her and any vicious dog or threat.











Even in relationships a man gives more massages, gives up his jacket, gets the car when its raining, gives up shoes if hers breaks, gives up food, gives up the safer car, gives up the health insurance, checks on the noise downstairs, drive in unsafe conditions, gives up his umbrella, gives up his seat, has security systems installed for her, walks her home, drives her home, calls her a cab, gives more in general, calls to make sure she got home safe, comes over in the middle of night to take care of her, does more to cheer her up, carries her heavy packages, picks her up form the bus station at night,saves her and her car from a ditch, makes her feel safe, carries her when she falls down. He is more likely to step in between her and vicious dog or take a bullet for her than vice versa. He geWhy does society coddle women so much and do you think this will ever change?
Like other people said, there is a lot to answer (some of it very biased). But yes to the general question, I do think that women get coddled and it hurts them. I, as a feminist, want women to stop being coddled. I think we should have to sign up for the draft and everything else. I do think the level of coddling has changed a lot and will continue to change once we get gender equity. I also think that some things will never change. For example, if a woman wants to be a firefighter she will probably have to go through more training than a man would to qualify. There are always going to be programs that help women for that sort of thing because women tend to be at a disadvantage when it comes to certain types of strength and speed.Why does society coddle women so much and do you think this will ever change?
You should have your own Cliff's Notes books published for your questions.
It's ironic how hypocritical feminists are. We had feminists expressing their desire to abolish chivalry and claiming constantly that they don't want the protection of men, then we get the Montreal Massacre, and what do they say: ';why didn't the men protect the women?';
Is this just a post to emphasize your views on justifying masochism?





Im sure if you researched your information even more thoroughly or even used everyday examples in life you could find the answer to this question.


Its almost like Black History Month in a way.


Women for years in history were treated like they were meant to do anything but reproduce, and its in a man's nature to defend his family while its in a woman to take care of them which contributes to them spending more.





One of the main reasons why men make more money than women (70 percent I believe?) is because there are more men that are put in more powerful positions and women earn less doing the same jobs as men.





I didn't answer the rest of your questions because I believe they are basically ramblings of generally the same types of female bashing so I skimmed the parts that caught my eye.
Well, this is an interesting point. Possibly because women in the past have been seen as inferior. But as the years went on, they became more recognized and strong/independent. So with the knowledge of history, people may try to use that, and treat them with more.. kind of like inferiority..like to a child. They act more caring to women, because they are still seen as partially inferior. Thats why they may help the women check the noises downstairs. or pick up heavy packages. The femininity is what people still see in females even to this day. So maybe thats why women are coddled into this day of society. Hope this helps! (:
