If it's OK for women to propose, why don't they?

Never had any experiences with my wife that could not be mutually worked out and I have observed many of the attitudes I mentioned coming from her at times over the years. She understands that she is not perfect or always right, any more than I am. We both have our faults that we sometimes express over the years. I have observed many friends and some relatives over the years whose spouses expected them to be the silent, yes dear, cash cow and many of those are now split. It seems be be more prevalent in a lot of the younger “liberated” women I know. I well know that not all women are that way but simple observation over 63 years tells me that most all express those attitudes and behaviors one or more times over many years. No real man wants a meek and subserviant wife who is not an equal partner in the relationship; nor do they want a stone cold shrew.

Boo hoo. Women these days are told they are just as good as men, better in fact, and ought to be navy SEALS and control 75% of the government, and why aren't there more female engineers? Clearly because the entire STEM industry is sexist.

In short, modern women are very strongly conditioned by the left to think they are better than men in every way, but still deserve to have the door held open, the chair slid out, and the proposal made to them for some reason, and expect it. Its another sad effect that the leftist agenda has had on our society.

I've heard some people say that chivalry isn't dead, men are just tired of ballbusting bitches. If you want to be treated like a lady, act like one. If you're going expect me to bow to your superiority, prepare to get the bum's rush.

"Women are natural gatherers. They are keenly observant of their environment: subtle differences in pattern, color, background. They had to be to find and gather food and raw materials for making things. Everybody has skills. That’s why we survived as a species. In a military environment, women it turns out are better at reconnaissance, they aren’t tricked as easily by camouflage. They are also very good snipers for the same reason."

The things you just outlined would apply to a hunter. Also, I've never met a sniper, ranger, SEAL, or Green Beret who thinks that women have a place in the special ops community.

Whether or not women have place there is a different issue than the skill.

Well, to be honest I’ve never met a woman who would make a good sniper...Women do not have the skills for that.

because any self respecting male is going to say “no” and immediately end the relationship and never see her again.
