Same goes for a man, some men feel a need to have a woman who has more direction or assertiveness than he, does this make him less of a man? No, because if they are both happy in love then you cannot criticize them for finding what makes THEM happy.

In every relationship there is "Balance" not "who wears the pants," The whole idea that the man must run every aspect of the relationship is chauvinist and says nothing to me but insecurity.


Sorry that not everyone is as enlightened as you are.

I guess families were doing it all wrong during the time in society where:
1. The man was the head of the household 2.The female counterpart stayed home and raised the offspring 3. Said offspring was accounted for at all times and weren't off killing or car jacking or robbing anyone. 4. Divorces weren't a common thing. People had morals and values.

Seriously, wtf were they thinking?
