Two generations of women have been taught to emasculate men, and men are confused and lame because of it.
The backlash to the womens movement of the 60s and 70s is upon us, as evidenced by just asking the question. Men, its okay to be men. Women, its okay to be women. Quit fighting over who has the power, it is an even split by nature. Deal with it!

Couldn't agree more, different roles, but I think a lot of men have conceded power or have been dominated by mothers of the 60's and 70's and now we are seeing the results
Men don't want to be men anymore in the traditional sense, and women have discovered a new power and don't want to be dominated anymore.
Why do we have constant struggle for power, why must someone always win?

i don't think a lot of men these days think it is emasculating to share control with a woman, particularly if you're in a relationship.

Totally, conceding power does not emasculate men. In a relationship most men I know are happy to be more passive. I choose to fight the battles I am passionate about.

This is a poor argument for a feminist to keep beating the club over and over about who has the last say. It’s simple live together as equals or keep looking for your ideal partner. However you may be looking for a long time. Did you know there are now more single women in there forties than at any time in history, the same goes for men. Shame the majority can’t live together. You work it out, those feminist who would like to make their point?

My personal view is that men and women were never really designed to live together (the ol' Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus idea)
Women look after the cave and children together, gathering herbs etc whilst men go off hunting for (preferably long) periods of time.

From my early teenage years I recall discussing with my best friend (still my best friend more than 25 years on) about what we would do after our husbands
House in the country - kids off somewhere, dogs horses and long walks and talks

I think sharing control shows a certain level of respect. I wouldn't call it something necessary to have in a relationship - but if I couldn't picture myself considering it as a possibility with a woman, then I don't have any business being with her. I don't go for women that are push-overs, but I'm not looking for someone who is a control freak either.
I think that control should be mutual between a man and a woman if they really love each other. One side always having control can negatively affect so many aspects of the relationship long-term, and I would want to make only the best choices for the future of my soulmate and I as a couple.
