However, having said that I also believe that once those men who adopt a macho façade come to their senses, they will join with those men currently living a ‘true’ life, and stake a big claim for a continued role in society, albeit a diminished one. You see I don’t believe any society can dismiss the constructive efforts of half its population and still prosper and grow.

Just for the record I personally believe that apart from some obvious shortcomings such as war and the environment, men have not done too bad a job up until now. In fact it is the successes of men that is now enabling women to stake their claim to control the world. By this I mean men have created a world where the virtue of brute strength, and the hunter and gatherer concept, are not as relevant anymore, giving women the opportunity to compete with and surpass men.

At an interpersonal level, I agree with you that many males have a need to submit to a strong woman, although I was surprised with your view that women have an equal need to be dominant. In general, and by this I mean putting aside the vocal minority of radical feminists, I have not seen that need in the vast majority of women I have known in my life.
