Remember that saying \u201cit\u2019s not what you say, it\u2019s how you say it\u201d? Well when it comes to a certain type of woman, the strong and confident woman especially, that saying does not apply. In that case, it IS what you say that counts. Below are 10 phrases that will most likely escalate things pretty quickly when speaking to a strong and confident woman.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s nothing strong women love more than proving people wrong. If a woman wants something, she\u2019ll go after it, despite the opinions of others. Telling her \u201cyou can\u2019t\u201d will only show her that you don\u2019t believe in her.<\/p>\n
If a woman is fired up about something, there\u2019s a good reason. It\u2019s not because she can\u2019t control her emotions. It\u2019s because she\u2019s passionate. Telling her to \u201ccalm down\u201d will only ignite the fire under her and show her that you don\u2019t understand her at all.<\/p>\n
Although want is different than need, who are you to tell a woman the difference? A woman has the right to buy something that she wants, just because she wants it. Let her enjoy things that make her happy, instead of using this phrase to bring her down.<\/p>\n
Using this phrase is shaming a woman for who she is. You\u2019re letting her know you aren\u2019t happy with a part of her, whether its her appearance, her personality or her opinions. If you say this to a strong woman, don\u2019t expect her to stick around.<\/p>\n
This one starts out as a compliment, then quickly takes a downhill turn. Contrary to old opinion, women are not a \u201cweaker sex.\u201d If you\u2019re impressed by something a woman says or does, use this phrase, but stop at \u201cimpressive.\u201d<\/p>\n
Women serve in the military. There are women who are astronauts, pilots, mechanics, and bodybuilders. They work in every profession you can think of. When a woman lands a good job, it\u2019s because she\u2019s hardworking, intelligent, persistent and fully capable.<\/p>\n
If a woman is serious about something, do not, under any circumstances, tell her to \u201clighten up.\u201d A strong woman knows her morals, boundaries and beliefs, and if you test them, she\u2019ll make you wish you didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
Just because a woman is showing emotion, it doesn\u2019t automatically mean Aunt Flo is in town. Suggesting that a woman is on her period because she has feelings is an old and tired stereotype that women won\u2019t tolerate.<\/p>\n
There are plenty of pros and cons to being female, but chances are, if you\u2019re a male, you don\u2019t recognize all of the hardships women often face. Everyone has their own struggles in life, regardless of gender, so assuming someone else has it easier says more about you than the other person.<\/p>\n
Why is it that women often get called \u201cbossy\u201d for confidently doing their job or running a household? If a woman is being \u201cbossy\u201d around you, it\u2019s because she\u2019s on a mission to get things done. The word \u201cbossy\u201d has a negative connotation. If you use it, you\u2019re only trying to bring someone else down.<\/p>\n
