But.. this is what the world tells us. As boys we are taught women need to be "coddled". To a man this is the epitome of what we should do.. "Provide and Protect".
i guess to me, that's mind reading. how do you know that's what i want? or what another woman wants? not every woman wants the same thing.
We don't know that is what you want. I think you miss the point. It is not that all women want to be provided for and protected. The point is society tells us (men) that this is what we should do. I was actually pretty good at this. When it doesn't work we don't understand why. I told our MC "W doesn't think the rules apply to her". I didn't really know what I meant when I said it, but I felt it. I do now and it was exactly this point, "why don't I get credit when I do the 'right' thing". I was playing by society's rules, not by W's.
I think this is common and I think a lot of Ws could learn something from this. Many men think this way. It is not that we are right, but we know no other way. The catch-22 is that to learn this stuff we have to open up and many women see that as weakness. IMHO.
