No problem, what women "think" about how they should act & how they actually "act" when in front of a man who knows the "deal" are two completely different things. They all revert to the passive female role right on cue cause they know that otherwise they can't be part of the "game" at least with me.
There is a far distance between sociatal behavior / inter-relationship "theory" & what goes on in the real world. TV perpetuates myths as does popular culture at large. But in the real world things are not always that way. Just look at the relationship between violence on TV & it's supposed effects on real life. Look at the cartoon shows I watched as a kid (no socially / eduactionally relevant value / violence etc.) Vs todays "politically correct" crappola....
If guys want to be wimps that's their problem. "Society" is not an intellectual entity with an "agenda" to emasculate men, U either buy it or U don't. If U don't, no problem. If others do, it's no skin off my azz...more puzzy for me that's all.
I don't think "society" or entertainment has a responsibilty to keep men from turning into wimps. The man has to be a man.
Ever since Carrie Nation went into her first bar & busted up the kegs & whiskey bottles the whole mindset of women has changes. Lets face it, women were 2nd class citizens until the 60's when the women's lib movement kicked in. I'd be pissed if I were a woman as well!
From Greek mythology onwards there have been strong women. The Amazon warriors, the Valkryies of Norse mythology etc. I personally find a strong woman attractive as long as she feels comfortable with a man that is also strong in his beliefs & in himself.
We are all "preaching to the choir" here, some of us have got the lesson down, others have not. We all make mistakes still but I personally think that prior to the 70's popular entertainment typically presented women in a very passive role. The man was always the aggressor & women were not allowed to be powerful in most circumstances. Now the pendulum has turned a bit & justifiably so. Women should be allowed to feel powerful, they can be very strong & very independent. I do not feel this is mutually exclusive with being with a strong man however.
Why shouldn't women get a kick out of seing those wimps on "Friends" supplicating & generally being weak. They love that ****, it's the woman's equivalent to "The man show". We are or should be, equals in a perfect world but in the real world women still want a strong man that can be sensitive to her needs (when necessary). That does not translate into being a wimp or a jerk. It means being a man. Period. Poet
