Strangely enough, most girls/women I know tend to agree with whatever their bfs or husbands say. It's really weird.
Like my mother, sister and grandmother. They will agressively defend their husband's opinions. But when you ask them why they are at a loss.

Do you not do that for your boyfriend(s)? Or are you the "man" of the relationship? I'm being serious, not sarcastic or mean.

No. I am very opinionated. I will admit when I am wrong, but if I disagree with anything you say I will tell you and I will be very blunt about it.

Why must it be a characteristic of maleness?

I would not want that at all!!! :shocked: That is just horrible. I mean, for really important things like family, core beliefs, and such, I want similar beliefs to an extent, but we can disagree at that too, as long as we compromise.

I like a girl that has her own opinions on things (as long as they aren't argumentative about it). It is much more intellectually stimulating. Nothing bugs me more than someone of the opposite sex that just agrees with you to please you. :| ergg, it is so annoying.

Well they fight, but it's about stupid stuff.
"You did this!" "No I didn't!!"
But when it comes to religious/political and overall beliefs, they never really speak up.
I guess they just dont think about it. I dunno. Im not a woman.

I agree - unfortunately, many men and women feel as if this is the role a typical woman should take, and have no qualms. They're acting in bad faith.

:thumbsup: to you :)

It's not, in my experience.

Well, i was referring to the fact that most gay couples, both male and female, tend to have a dominant individual, commonly refferd to as the "man" of the relationship.

I'm not saying I agree with that point of view, or that it's not a bigoted stance, but it does seem to exist.

Of the three monogomous gay male couple I have known for several years, I've never notice male\female role-playing.

Do you know a lot of gay couples that engage in this behavior?

I've gotten the impression that when one loves another they tend to practice isopraxism (acting the same way, or sharing the same feelings, more or less), unless there's strong opposition. It's just a rather subconscious and natural thing not meant to be interpreted as someone's conscious opinion. In other words, it's like nodding your head in agreement when you're not really "into" the conversation.

Today women have no problem of speaking on and then being subjected to ridicule.

However; when you are in a relationship with someone you don't publically bury them ever, no matter how wrong they are.

You can simply answer "I am really not sure/have no opinion/etc on that".
