  • Not many.
  • You'd be surprised how many actually are, especially in cultures where this is the norm. That said, I would say more than 50%.
  • I know some women who put up with that and for the life of me I don't understand why.
  • I would say women with low self-esteem and high self-doubt...they need someone else to figure out what they can and cannot do.
  • If we're talking globally, I'd say alot more than 50%.
  • Millions of women who don't know better or who know better isn't out there for them. I wouldn't because I live in the USA and go by different standards and expectations. I think of marriage as a partnership, we are both better being together and are there for our mutual happiness and support. We make decisions together for the best of the entire family considering all members as important. That's my marriage of 34 years. I looked fro a man that loved and honored women, not used them and I respect him deeply for it.
  • I'd be cool with that so long as he was okay with being ignored or laughed at.
  • Me, myself no. But if it was socially acceptable, or if that's what my mother and father's relationship had been like ... who knows what I would think is acceptable.
  • i don't need another father thankyou.
  • Sadly, quite a few, because that is the relationship that was modelled to them by their mother and her significant other/s. I remember an ESL teacher trying to convince her class of muslim girls that violence was not ok. One teenager said "But, miss, if he doesn't hit you, that means he doesn't love you." And it isn't just muslim girls who believe this, sadly. I have known many women who have put up with it unquestioningly. One's boyfriend had a pretty dress put away for her "when she was thin enough to fit into it." (She was dangerously thin as it was, but not thin enough for him). My friend took the fat b**** on, pointing out his own inadequacies in the body department, and begging the other woman to see reason, that this guy was a monster. Sadly, it didn't work.

  • Not me! BYE!
  • Even one woman like that is too many.
  • I know women who have husbands like that, I am baffled by this kind of relationship.
  • Many, many women do, especially in areas where it is the social norm. In fact, they'd probably not find a man at all if they waited for one who didn't behave as if he had authority over her. Personally, I wouldn't. I'm an adult, and I don't need a parent.
