I voted no because my girl told me too.
+1 on the gender roles comment.
I agree fully and it's depressing as hell to me. With guys I tend to see how he reacts to me and if he acts weak then I get frustrated and keep pushing. Maybe you should put your foot down with your gf and test the waters.
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.

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.
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.
I am curious on how the ladies feel on this issue and the men themselves.
I personally feel men have become to submissive towards women and with that have lost some of their sex appeal. I'm taking majorly about my age group and younger here. *btw, this is in general, not ment to offend anyone.*
I am tired of having guys being sweet and romantic ALL of the time. Society has painted the picture that women want that kind of men for relationships when sometimes damn it, we just want to be thrown over your shoulder or - God forbid, have you tell us, "no." I am aware not all women feel this way, however I also know that a lot of women DO feel this way and it's SO frustrating when we have to take charge because males don't want to risk offending us.
Along with the bra burning period I think we burned another part of our social relations. I feel like submissive metrosexual men are all we are going to be getting. (Nothing against that in general, relationship wise however, quite a few of us women want a little more dominance).
What's your entire take on this?
(I was reading below on the polls and the "virgin" topic made me think of this).
The more I read and the more I watch and the more I hear about, the more I'm glad I'm single!
