Sadly, I think that people thinking that you’re an arrogant bitch is often an unfortunate side effect of becoming more secure and confident. That’s certainly been my experience… both at work and socially. E.g. After spending years in a co-dependent relationship, where very few people questioned to my face what was quite obviously a quite destructive dynamic for me, I’ve had more people label me as a ‘man-hater’ now that I am strong enough within myself to choose being on my own over being in an unhealthy relationship.
Somehow I doubt a man in the same situation would get seen in such a negative light either.
