why is it that some women expect you to be more or less a woman around her, and a man everywhere else? Seriously. He gets points chalked off her little scoreboard for not being as soft, yielding, sensitive and intuitive as she is, but is expected to be ruthlessly competitive in the workplace or in business. He's expected to help out with household drudgery - washing dishes and changing diapers and what not, but will get looked at like he has three heads if he tells his wife to empty a rat trap or put brakes on the car. He's expected to ignore her irrational and hurtful "time of the month" hormonally driven outbursts, but has his own testosterone-driven fits of temper internalized and gets a life sentence for them. He's expected to be a man (big time) if his wife gets pawed in the Wal-Mart parking lot (and BELIEVE ME, that's when no woman wants you to slink off to a safe distance and call 911), but is expected to roll over like a putz when she tries to push him around and remake him.
