For the first time in history, middle-class women do not need men in the traditional ways - for safety, for money, for a life. So they’re demanding instead what they always wanted but couldn’t ask for: emotional connection, presence, intimacy. Sex with enough foreplay, enough seduction, enough closeness to please them. Men are baffled not only because the needs they are being asked to fill differ so from what their fathers and grandfathers understood to be their jobs but also because full-fledged intimacy requires strengths and skills they’ve never learned. Moreover… they’re strengths and skills that were once left solely to women: Men didn’t have to develop them. This maturational mismatch may be contributing to distrust among lovers of all ages.Dalma Heyn
About This Quote
This quote talks about how women are asking for more from men and how they can be more understanding. Men are confused because what women want is different from what men want. This quote goes on to say that men need to become more caring and emotionally connect with their loved ones. Unfortunately, this quote is very controversial because it makes the statement that women are asking for things that are typically considered manly or masculine.
This is a thought that many people have, but it is not true in reality. Women are no longer dependent on men financially, so they are looking for much more than just money.
