LOL I was thinking the same thing.....

My wife and i but heads in this topic all the time.
I was raised as the Male being the head of the household.
My wife sees the head of the household as being "King" where as i see it as a Burden and responisbility. This means that i am responsible for everyone else' well being. It comes down to financial decisions and disciplining our children most of the time but I still spoil her. There are times when i let her nag til she gets what she wants but sometimes i have to tell her no (RESPECTFULLY BUT STERN).

The problem arrises when she says that it is 50-50 when in my eyes it will never be. I am Husband, Dad, Marine, NCO, and Team leader and that is that [PERIOD].

I voted yes but not because i am softer but because females can pull the "descrimination" card and then the red carpet comes out and makes almost all men [except the knuckle dragging cave men] think "life is easier if she THINKS she is in charge for a while" and for the most part this is true.

no disrespect feel free to object.

Welcome to the thread fellow knuckle dragger.

I kinda have a change of heart on things over the last week, yes the younger guys are getting to god damn wimpie.

I just broke up with a guy thats younger than me, and all he did was cry...

Like there was no WTF, or is there someone else...just yes I respect you and I will go away and die.

And I am now left with out ok see ya thats it.

And wheres the fun it that

I voted no because my girl told me too.

I truly believe that society in general is becoming more sissy like. Women in general lie. They want Mr. Right, but I always see them going out with Mr. Scumbag wife beater....

Make up you damn mind.

5.56X45mm I think someone trained you well ...lol

Overall, I don't think that men have become submissive to women.

Now if you take a young male/teenager, he will appear submissive to a female because he is still at a stage of discovering (and/or at toss-ups with his id and ego). Females of this age group are the same way as well.

Otherwise, the older/more mature men (or at least most of them should by now) have their superego pretty intact and they (I believe) would prefer to just try and get along ie. compromise with their significant other rather than create a battle scene for every situation. This happens in homosexual relationships as well....only a little more conflicting.

In my life's experiences, I have learned that a man will always have an innate stronghold in him that a woman will dare to defy. It's part of human nature and something that we struggle to understand, but accept and adapt to especially where love or long-term relationship is a concern.

At any rate, pixiedustboo, this is a good topic for discussion, and it's always good to read what other views are. Incidentally, I see that you are a March Aries female (which is what I am also), and astrologically speaking..........we are extremely aggressive females. But hey, that's a whole different ballpark from the current discussion.
