You're allowed to have an opinion, but contradicting everything he says, even on meaningless things, may be sending him a message that you feel like arguing. I seriously doubt that this is a matter of him wanting you to submit to his opinion because you're a woman, he may just be tired of you undermining him a lot.

I made a lot of assumptions about what you posted since you didn't go into detail, correct me if I'm wrong

If you have an opinon about EVERYTHING he says, then you're over opinonated... too much! No one can tollerate being around someone who wants to debate everything they say. It's OK for you to have an opionon, and to properly share it occassionally.

If you're sick of living in a society that discounts women, go overseas for college, gaduate and STAY... you don't have to keep living in the 15th century...
