So much for equality......

Is it too much to speak your mind when you disagree with something to a man???confused Is it too much to argue on something that you feel is not right to a man??? dunno Is it true that a woman is supposed to listen to a man and follow what the man has to say???dunno confused Is it true that a woman can not have a say as the man leads??? This sounds so primitive but I have come across one just like that. Or could it be that tradition or religion plays a big role in it????

I hope I can get some feed back from Asian men and women or Indonesian men and women in particular cos I have come across a guy who is finding it so hard to accept the fact that I can speak my mind. doh devil very mad

Comments from other bloggers are more than welcome too. I might get some insights to this frustrating situation.....

we must speak up! but still should respect others' feeling both of man or woman,
the man who not accepted it... mmhh.... sounds like a dictator!
I love you Martha...thanks for that comment.
I do respect the other person's comments but sometimes it is difficult for the that person to accept what I have to say. teddybear
yep... we can't force to anyone to accept it, and sometimes we just give up of someone it is not because we don't care but they do!peace
Maybe it depends on the country and on the cultural background of the man. Most often men doesn't really like a vocal female. To maintain status quo sometimes it is easier to perfect the art of ignoring. As you say maybe tradition and religion and culture as a whole play an important part. We women have to bear most of the time. If we opt to stand up against a wall, we shld be prepared to possible retaliation or consequences. At least you tried to be open. Who knows there are others who are just silent but share some of your visions.bouquet
Sometimes myself argue with my own mind cos of something that I need to speak out.
If that is something that you neee to talk then speak out, sometimes the true and being honest can be so paintful. Doesn't mean not respect others if you speak out as long as you know how's to pick your words/wise way.
Hope you will find good way for your problem hug
Thank you ladies!!!!...
So far I have seen it to be this way where men have the authority pretty much. I have female friends that advised me to keep quiet for peace sake. Unbelievable!!!!.....One thing that I just can't do is sit still and shut up if something is just not right....grrrrrr..gets me into a lot of trouble though.....grin
silent is a gold in some circumtances
are you familiar with that phrase?
I agree with Lavina, pick nice/wise words in order to avoid mess it upwine
and remember; stay cool and calmpeace

Hi Non, I can imagine what's going to be expected/said.....peace
Hi all kiss

We are in the 21st century and things have changed in modern relationships.
But the truth is always one.
If a woman is rights of smart men would agree with her.

But not all so simple... confused

Hi Fotonia, I second that...

"If a woman is rights of smart men would agree with her".thumbs up thumbs up thumbs up teddybear hug
well sometimes I need to defend my argument if I knew exactly that he was wrong and that something is a matter of principle, if he still persisted, I like to show the reference of the book.. but if I dont agree on things that are not important, I'd better yield and keep quiet..
Thanks for passing by Tangerang,

I totally agree with you because that was exactly what I was doing, "Defending my own argument knowing that he was really really wrong"....
I hope you don't mind, that I don't mind, when you speak your mind. head banger
Angel, enjoy your time out of town.....and be good while you are out there....laugh laugh
Hi Jim,
I don't mind at all....thumbs up wine hug cheers teddybear
oh and guess what Angel, if you can not be good, then you might as well do it real good....kidding...laugh laugh rolling on the floor laughing
The ART of an arguement is that it must be for building not destroying things. But if u have a man who have big ego u have to love him enough to understand him because it can't be done the other way arround I guess.

Trust me men with BIG ego are terrible and not to mention if it was BIG AND BROKEN ego. Theey are the worse. Looking all macho strong on the outside but a wreck on the inside. And they usually cover it up with rudeness. And maybe this is where the injustice starts for most women.
You can either love them more to heal them, or pretend he didn't exist or leave.

Hi Kasih, good to see you and thanks for passing by here..hug

You really hit the nail on the head. THe person I'm referring to is exactly like you picture in your comment...teddybear
men with big ego will always cover his weakness by acting rude... he oftenly cannot accept the fact that "this time you(female) are right" ...no matter what is his purpose... for serious or have fun... but if these types like having fun with women, then let me guess... thumbs down big ego character in your blog is not limited by race or culture that's for sure...
Non smoker, i think that doesn't just apply to irish women, most of the educated women in this world can think for them self.

Tatami : well the wisdom we acknowledge nowadays are once an eccentric thought and some of the thinkers are women ..
