Wow Susan,
those are some strong feelings- sounds pretty tough for a man to live up to those expectations. Does that apply for all men, including men who are your coworkers, who brew your coffee, who deliver your packages, who are your boss, or your doctor, or your preacher? Or is this only for men that you are interested in getting into a romantic/sexual relationship with?I come from kind of the opposite perspective, where I always felt that I was physically weaker, intellectually weaker, and emotionally unstable-- as a possessor of the double X chromosomes. I mean, I do very well "for a woman"...
Well, it has taken me a long time, but I'm not afraid of men too much anymore. I'm afraid of some men, certainly, and some women too. What really triggers me is a man who is completely physically stronger than I am and who has a bad temper, or is not aware of his strength when his heart is hot. That's why most of my guy friends are nerdy intellectual types - because they are either not very strong, or, if they are, I can appeal to their intellect to diffuse any temper situations.
