I am beginning to wonder whether modern women have some pathological defect stemming from their, on average, physical weakness compared to males.  Perhaps the female feels threatened by the mere physical size of males and thus control and power becomes a central focus.  Perhaps we as a society have cheated women by giving them expectation of equality when in fact the genders are not equal and women will never have the physical power of men.  Many liberal men kneel to equality yet take a paternal approach to women especially regarding personal responsibility, e.g. any problem between men and women is the man's fault.  In relationships between equals, all parties are accountable for events that occur.  In the media, we see women portrayed as the eternal victims even though the writers imagine that they respect women as equals.
