Women thinking of themselves as victims? Simone de Bouvour in "The Second Sex" insisting that men picture women as their slaves and friends of humans, men...
But what if its only us who build this picture of a weak woman not able to live the same life men do? What if its only comfortable for US to pretend we are victims when in reality we have made that clear for ourselves we are even stronger than men? The only reasonable explanation I have is the upbringing problem. And since the upbringing can be moderated it leaves hope for us to get closer to the Indian society in their advanced way of thinking and living.
Our position in the world, in the modern society is only and fully dependent on our own impression of ourselves and others. Its up to you whether you feel more comfortable in the position of a strong or a weak. Its your mind and your life and your world!

Well, I think you're just right, many times I've talked with my male friends about how girls are prone to play the victim role.
Me and my friends choke ourselves on this thing, because that just makes it much harder to meet girls, it's a reason for they to be shy and distrust, when as a matter of fact it's mostly just an excuse to cover their insecurities, like you suggest.
Well, I'm glad to say that I have got know girls who don't fall on this stereotype. Maybe, it's Europe, I'm still not sure...
