Could you give some examples.
In my experience men (most the time) upset women without meaning too. I know in my lifetime I have said and done thing that I though where being helpful only to be told later that I was being condescending and controlling.
When it comes to women the majority of men are pretty stupid. We need to be sat down and have things explained to us like we are 2 years old

... and yes many of us can be quite stubborn.
