Do you want me to see you as my equal or as a woman

It is very hard to respect a person who on one day wishes to be looked at as my equal. On the next day when things are difficult she wishes to be looked upon and treated like a woman. This is very complicated but it is making men like myself very reluctant and uneasy around female counterparts.

Also I saw a news story where a woman slapped a man and spit on him while he was eating. The man stood up and punched her one time he broke her jaw. Everyone is angry at the man they say he has abused a woman. Unfortunately in the world that I live in if a man slapped another man and spit on him he would expect to get punched. This once again brings up the question do you want us to look at you as ladies or do you want us to look at you as equals?

As a woman, both. I want you to know that I can be just as strong as you are, and that I can defend myself in most situations. (Albeit verbal, mental, etc.) I can support myself, and I'm just as capable as you. I don't always need you to step in and help me.

But I also need you to be my rock, and have my back when I need you to. When I come home and feel beaten down by the day, I need you to be sensitive, treat me like a woman, and help me remember my worth. I need you to be my soft place to fall, and my biggest fan in moments of hopelessness. Hope this helps to give you some insight. I don't know how he does it, but my husband seems to know just the right times to treat me like a lady and be sensitive, and when I just need him to hug me and tell me to go sit down while he makes dinner.

@AnarchoMetalchic I applaud your husband for being able to manage himself in such a way. You are the 1st person to give me 100% insight and honesty. You are absolutely right you want to be both. This is my problem with that,when we get it wrong from time to time be a little understanding. As men we try our best but we will make mistakes. The penalties should not be so high when we do. Thank you and have a great day.
