Using fast reply... Based upon my 48 years of people watching, there are two things that come to mind when reading this thread. To say that women, or society today, is emasculating men is rather subjective and ridiculous. Nothing is static. We are human and constantly evolving. Doesn't matter if a cave woman thought the cave man was the perfect man, womankind doesn't get to change/evolve and keep expecting to find cavemen. The men are evolving also. Saturday I went with GD, my 31 yo son, and two grandsons to the city pool. I noticed a delightful new trend from the days when I was a kid. Families are now going to the pool. Dads are spending A LOT more time with their kids and actually playing with them and interacting. Very different than my childhood. The second thought is that, I see an awful lot of ridiculously overly romanticized expectations of men, from women. Especially submissive women. Think cheesy romantic novels. The women want the freedom to hide behind the guidance and heavy hand of their 'alpha male', wanting him to tell her to "sit down and shut up" when she doesn't want to own her own shit. Yet....she refuses to cut him any slack in just being human. Human with all of the weaknesses and faults that go along with it. I've yet to meet a man that was romance novel hero material and quite honestly, I don't expect to. But I have met an awful lot of men that are struggling with hidden insecurities because of the unrealistic expectations of some of the women they have had the misfortune to meet.
