A woman's prime directive is to control men. It was necessary at one time in our evolutionary history to preserve and perpetuate the human species. But now it manifests as pussywhipping the male until he becomes less masculine than she [Remember the song about big bad Bill is sweet William now?]; and if he doesn't comply, taking him to the cleaners in divorce court. Many women are not even aware they are doing this as they have no more ability to resist this evolutionary inbred directive than they can determine whether they are male or female or whether they are human or a giraffe..
The only men I know who are not pussywhipped are gay men -- and even the few who have feminine acting lovers are "pussy"whipped to an extent. I find it ironic that among the straights I know that the more pussywhipped they are [or were in the case of the divorcees], the more anti-gay they are -- a direct correlation with an R-square approaching 1.0. I guess it's an envy of those who are free of being pussywhipped.
