I also dont agree with the men always ruling shyt. He can rule some but when your wife is completely submissive, dont expect for her to be a go-getter. So you want a chick that has her own, out there beating nikkas up in the corporate world, taking charge and being aggressive enough to provide for herself...but come home to you and take your orders?
I mean it sounds great but its not realistic. What IS realistic is letting the man feel like he is in charge, alst while being the actual ringleader. Worked for my grandparents on both sides. The man got to stunt in public, the wife ran shyt behind closed doors. Win-win. And both sets of grandparents loved eachother till the day one of them died.
You're making the assumption that men want that kind of woman, which I think is an issue with the interaction between men and women these days. Some women seem to believe that men find attractive the same things that women find attractive in men. If a man is true "go-getter, alpha male" type, then he's not going to want the "boss b#tch" type. Don't let fugasi hip hop slogans fool you.
There's this idea of "bosses getting with bosses" or "a real dude wants a boss chick in his life", which is patently false in the real world. A man who's secure in himself can respect and appreciate a woman who is a strong person...sure. However, respecting strength of character does not mean wanting a woman who is competing for leadership of the relationship. It also does not mean wanting a woman who feels that she needs to "let" her man do things.
Too many women confuse strength with being combative, under-handed, sexually alluring to various men and other confrontational traits. However, some examples that men would consider truly strong are:
- the strength of character to know who to date and who not to date...
choosing men for substance instead of swag...not giving the best of you to the worst of men
- the strength of character to know that if he's someone who you choose to be with(substance), then he should be worth your submission
- the strength of character to understand that submission is a gift to your man and not a curse to yourself...
that a quality man uses that gift for the benefit of both of you
-
the strength of character to not cheat even if the relationship is not as fun as it once was or just to get back at him for pissing you off
- the strength of character to be loyal in spite of the fact that your co-workers and ex-boyfriends are constantly hitting you up and blowing your ego into the 10th stratosphere
- the strength of character to apologize when you're wrong and not be combative just to save face(hell everyone of the Coli could take a cue from this one)
So, I see your point, but the same men who are taking issue with this topic are probably not the same men who would play the role of your grandfathers.
Peace
