Why is everyone afraid of an Independent Woman?

[Gimbiya]

It baffles me how we dutifully teach a young girl the importance of thinking for herself and making her own money, yet when she emerges into the real world as strong, powerful, freethinking force, we instantly alienate her.

Our culture quickly lets her know opinionated girls are simply not welcome in this world.

We’re instructing them to be self-assured, We’re encouraging them to speak their minds unhindered and when they do, we tell them how radical and unlovable they are. 

So what’s with this society's unwillingness to truly embrace the independent woman in a real and honest way?

Why is everyone so threatened by a girl who is independent?

everyone is not threatened by an independent women its just that a woman says she is independent because she those not feel the need to be submissive to a man and will still need a man for financial security, nature has a system lets not deceive our self

I disagree..... A truly independent woman is self sufficient enough to know what things r worth and wouldn't depend on a man for financial security.
