It probably depends on the context to some extent. Retentive behaviour probably relates to the unwillingness to change things. Traditionalism, as believed by the Tories perhaps. It sounds like the sort of thing that a patronising left wing feminist might say. The Blair government is always banging on about modernisation, as though we were all living in a place called 'the past' and we all need bringing up to date. What they really mean, is that they want to change things and they need an excuse. To describe all men in that way is clearly ridiculous. It implies that all women are not like that. Pure rhetoric, said for effect.

Thats so funny - Jason, above is right. My husbands name is Jason and he is very anal-but I'm working on him. Maybe it's a Jason thing?! Was the guy in the article named Jason too?

obsessed with a routine or obsessed with details to the point that he would pursue the routine/details at the expense of what he knows to be the right set of choices.
