The entire Western paradigm concerning the sexes/marriage is inherently in the best interests of women . When either spouse subjugates their own human growth to the other it becomes oppressive. My personal experience after 25 years of marriage and observation of many marriages is that most women seek to exert more control over their husband’s lives as they age. Many will seek to make their lives very SMALL which is that whole “ happy wife “ bs within the home and most men will seek to have more experiences beyond their wife’s control. Many women become tyrants at home over time and they don’t even realize it. It becomes their fiefdom.Which is why men work late and hunt and fish etc.

Well, it's men that misinterpret that. A lot of men think the way to have a happy wife is to be a doormat, and that's the opposite of what any woman wants.

If you don't think that the majority of men apply this saying to their relationships with women today then you're not paying attention.

I've been married for almost 15 years and I agree with him. Most women, deep down, do not desire a pushover for a husband.

I may be 5'0 and 100 pounds, but apparently I can be fierce. I appreciate a man willing to stand up to me and call me out. Women do not want a doormat and will cheat on a doormat.

You could use a week or two of keto.

This is why they are referred to as the greatest generation.

Maybe some 3rd wave feminists get off on the goofy husband that they can boss around but in my experience that's not what most women want. My wife would run over some soy boy feminist. She's meaner than me

The most cringeworthy and foolish thing a man can say to others about his wife is “my wife wears the pants in the relationship”

All respect goes out the window when you hear a man say those imbecilic words. How fricking cucked and pathetic do you have to be to say that? Especially to others.

I just asked my wife about this topic and she said "what woman wants to have a bitch for a husband? I'm the bitch"

Exactly.

Any man who says “my wife wears the pants in our relationship” may as well just go ahead and submit her audition tape to Blacked.com because that’s where she wants to be.

All you gotta do is look at Harry. Being a Prince did not save him. So many saw thru the actress, doing what she does best. Why didn't he? A happy life endures willing compromise & help on both sides. Hopefully you can grow old together & smile. It's not a matter of being women's lib or chauvinist.

Married for 16 years and could not be happier. You got to pick the right one that’s what is important. We have mutual respect for each other. I treat her like a queen and she treats me like a king.

I don't think it's a competition. Both parties should be strong, especially if raising kids. The man and woman should compliment each other, bring strength to the individual and help the household.

I think it stems from fathers calling their daughters princess, etc. and being a pushover in regards to how they raise their daughters.
