Why is it no matter where you look there are men so afraid of women that they have to put them down to somehow feel superior to them? Why? Like I said , I think men keep women down because they fear them. What are they so afraid of? I don't understand. Explain please.<br />n<br />n<b>We only understand that which already within us.
