I wish more women had that want and desire. I can be a flirt while shy and for reasons I keep my circle small, trust, but when a woman speaks what they want Im lost in them. I find it boring this culture thinks the man should court the woman, then says we want women empowered, umm? Don't you mean she should be able to express her desire freely?

@awildsheepschase from my perspective men always fail to appreciate and reciprocate my efforts of sweetness. I end up drained.
Being empowered didn't mean we wanted to be the feminine and masculine energy, it meant we wanted the same rights and pay and freedom as men we had to work beside because society flipped a switch and no one can survive on one income. We wanted more than to be housewives that made sammiches because we have gifts and we are intelligent. We couldn't achieve anything lol
Lol it by no means meant we wanted to do it all, just the ability to feel like we can do what we need to without being punished. We wanted fairness. Being empowered doesn't mean we don't like or respect men, we just want the same respect they get for our efforts.
I don't know why men think equality means you get to kick back and be children about everything.

@ScreamingFox Many conversations held within there, but I'm not sure its only men. It took me expressing my hurt deeply to my partner when she had an afffair how deeply it hurt me. I had to say to her, you know how your father hurt your mother you hurt me. Our relationship opened more after, why cause I made her feel my emotions.
I felt cruel to her when I said to her, you hurt me in the same way your father hurt your mother. She saw my tears, she understood my words, and what felt like a deathknell in relationship if you tell someone just how you made me feel and if I were to use those words against her, she was protective of her mother. Who I had was a partner instead very compassionate and listening to me
The flaw in my mind nowadays, it's rare any of us want to do the work to have a real relationship
