Is it wrong for men to protect and provide for women?

[AgnosticBoy]

Are the following perspectives harmful to women or their fight for equality?

I can’t believe this is even a question… This is how lost the Western society is today; it has completely lost touch with the biological realities of human nature. It’s absolutely insane…

And just to spell it out: The answer is, YES! Most men want to take care of a woman (be her protector and provider). Most men are biologically programmed that way - in exactly the same way that most women are biologically programmed to want to be taken care of (be protected and provided for) by a man.

This is an empirical fact of most men and women, which naturally reveals itself in a sexual/romantic context between a man and a woman. Most men and women will be able to observe this within themselves, if they just pay attention to it when they’re in a sexual/romantic situation with the opposite sex.

Men love to protect their woman, and women love to feel protected by their man. It’s pretty simple.

What does wanting a man to take care of you mean? Financially, emotionally, sexually? All of the above? Regardless, it’s gotta be tough being a woman these days. Having the natural desire to have a man who protects you and makes you feel like you know a woman wants to feel, but having the Women’s Movement screaming at you about being strong and independent (as if you can’t be strong and independent if you want a man to take care of you.) That’s bullsh*t. You could be the CEO of a huge conglomerate and still want a man to take care of you. President of the United States, in fact. You are a woman, of course you want a man to take care of you. And as a woman, you know one thing that’s for **** sure. While you need a man to take care of you, it’s you who holds all the power.
