Why normal men hate strong women

I don't at all agree with Donovan Sharpe that American women are only good for one thing, but he is correct about the massive turnoff that is a "strong woman":

The definition of a “strong woman” varies from person to person but in 2015 a strong woman is basically a female who runs off at the mouth, posts memes about how strong she is as a woman, and has a jaded disposition—a direct result of being fucked and chucked on the regular.

Women are mentally fragile. If someone hurts her feelings, she either cries or has a breakdown on the spot. And of course they’re the smaller, weaker sex. Any “strength” they have is because of their ability to quickly recruit white knights to defend them.

Even if women had the strength they pretend to have, it’s not what men are looking for. Girls don’t want weak men so what makes them think we want “strong” women?

As men, we have all the physical strength and cerebral brawn we need (more on this in a bit). We want women who add to our lives and bring something to the table we don’t currently have. We don’t want or need a surplus of a fraudulent commodity women claim to have that turns out to be more of a headache than an asset—especially when they’re trying to prove it to you, themselves, and everyone around them all the time.

When people say that men "can't handle" strong women, they're half-missing the point. It's not that men can't do it, it's that they don't want to do it. When I hear "strong" or "intelligent" woman, my first thought is "ah, she's a constant pain in the ass to everyone around her".

Because, rightly or wrongly, they feel inferior, that sort of woman is constantly trying to prove she is "strong enough" or "smart enough". And try-hard women aren't any more attractive or pleasant to be around than try-hard men. My reaction to a try-hard woman trying to prove herself is usually to ask "for what?" Strong enough for what? Smart enough for what?

I mean, statistically speaking, she's never going to be smarter than me. Once you mature and max it out, strength and intelligence aren't going to change except for the worse. And if a woman doesn't worry about being tall enough, why would she worry about being smart enough or strong enough?

Be the best you can be. That's the most you can hope for and it's more than you'll likely manage. The main thing is to stop annoying everyone you meet by trying to compare yourself to them.
