I wrote two blog posts recently just for men. The second one, entitled “The Overly Accommodating Male,” addresses an underrated dynamic: men who cede too much power in their romantic relationships. Men who, in their desire to please or to prove they’re “enlightened” (read: not Neanderthals), go out of their way to let the woman they love have the first, second, and final say in the relationship.

This sexual dynamic has occurred throughout history, but it has never been as prevalent as it is today. The introduction of the New Age sensitive guy, the rise in single motherhood and father-absent homes, an educational system dominated by women, and a feminist movement that insists men are unnecessary or evil all contribute to men rejecting their manhood.
