Why are women so jealous of men?

Don't they know that they are already equal to man in their own way? Why do they want to make themselves head of the household when that is clearly not their place (Ephesians 5:22)? Or are they all afraid that men are going to abuse their power?

    genesis says that the women will want to rule over her husband, but the man will rule.. so its basically a desire that women have in them.. its when god is punishing adam and eve if you want to look it up.

    Not all women are jealous of men. The ones that are envy the power some men hold in the world, but they would be just as jealous of a woman in power. And the head of the household can be their place if they wish it to be. I don't believe any of the crap in the Bible, including that. And some women are afraid of that because it has happened so often. Men are afraid of the same thing.

    I am so glad to be a woman, why would I ever be jealous of a man? What's so great about being male? Many women are head of household, not by usurping authority over a man, but because some deadbeat male gave her no other option. And yes, some men do abuse their power. So, what was your point?

    Ew. I hardly want to have junk swinging between my legs that looks like a mutant Vienna sausage and pickled eggs gone wrong covered in wrinkled skin. I don't want to smell like a billy goat after the smallest bit of exertion, think the world owes me something based on my plumbing and have the glory of the world's record of the gender that committs the most heinous and violent crimes against other humans. No. Thank. You. No jealousy here. Your retarded bibble dribble doesn't mean a damn thing.

    it's not jealousy, sweetheart, it's pity.

    they want to make themselves head of the household because it's a position that should be held by someone with maturity. that's why men with wives they treat as equals are happier. both are willing to acknowledge the strengths and weaknesses of each person.

    your attitude is the reason we have suicide bombers and the ku klux klowns.

    Wait a minute people, before you emasculate him.....

    Maybe he has a sister, or a daughter he can sell me, as I could use a housekeeper.

    I would pay a fair price, and not let her go free like the males.

    Okay, now cut 'em off, the world doesn't need people like him to be reproducing (unless he will sell me a housekeeper).

    I'll bet he is single, if not I pity his wife.

    This woman is not jealous of men at all. I love men. I don't want to be one AT ALL.

    I have THE cushiest job in the whole world. All I have to do is sleep with the boss and he gives me ANYTHING I want. Why would I want to change places with him?

  • Actually...most men in my life are generally jealous of my deadly clay pigeon shooting ability...and of my ability to fix their cars and motorcycles.

    I am generally jealous of men's ability to let go of things that bother them.

    It is good to be jealous of traits of the opposite sex...maybe one day our jealousy will cause us to be more well rounded.

  • The Bible also says that you should be out killing sabbath breakers by stoning them to death, so after you're finished with your misogyny rant, why don't you take your own advice and follow the dumbass rules of the bible.
