They become so jealous and irrational but they are too emotionally immature to even recognize what they are suffering from.

A man told me recently that if we lived in a world where all women were financially stable, the marriage unit would break down. Thoughts?

I am all for women empowerment but atimes it looks like women dominance. That's where most men shut them down.

Women should also check themselves and stop blaming men for all their problems.

Conclusion

Contrary to peoples responses I think marriages will be stronger if both parties are financially independent. Why?

— Ozzy (@ozzyetomi) December 7, 2016

Because you have less women getting/staying married because they "have" to or bcos they are financially strapped & cant support kids…

— Ozzy (@ozzyetomi) December 7, 2016

And you have less men feeling like kings but instead being partners which would make for a happier union.

Society hasn't conditioned women to see anything wrong with a man having more money than she does, even if the man is her own son.

— Ozzy (@ozzyetomi) December 7, 2016

But society has made men feel inadequate and ashamed if they are unable to provide & emasculated if a woman is richer and arrogant about it

— Ozzy (@ozzyetomi) December 7, 2016

I think its a lot of bullshit pressure put on men, even at a young age to hang out with a group of girls and be expected to pick up the tab

Abi?
