And as far as this forum...I see in many male members this very thing:
"his need to show that he knows more than anyone else and be in complete control of everything..."
I see relationships established to reinforce this...a "yeah I'm with so and so on this" type of mentality. I see women as accommodated at times, played up to, getting on their good side just as a way to smooth things over, but under it is a sense of supremacy.
I hear a hidden dialog..."She's not having insights...no no no, can't be that, can't be that woman has anything to teach me about our genders. I know all about women because I'm a man. If anything, she can learn from me."
I see women looking the other way, even enjoying being able to say they understand the guys POV (though its not called that...rather its just the view that there is nothing needing change with these dynamics), that the women's POV is non-existent and is merely the problem with the woman, her imaginings.
In short, this is where i see people stuck.
