"You must continue signaling your dominance"..."Raise your voice sternly when she steps out of line, flirt shamelessly with other women in public." I feel sorry for the poor girl you're in a relationship with (if there even is one).. what you're describing is not healthy, and that's not to say that "tip-toeing around on eggshells lest you disturb the queen bee" is healthy either. The fact of the matter is that there should be no set dominant, both parties should be equal in the relationship. Granted there will be times when one party or the other will be slightly more dominant but the balance should soon return. The type of relationship you describe sounds incredibly abusive, not physically, but mentally abusive. Its the "girls like assholes" mentality that is ruining our society. This is where it all starts. Women date men (boys) like you, get hurt, and decide to go on about their lives with the "male mentality" to prevent being hurt again; therefore hurting other men and being promiscuous, and eventually leading to the super high rate of unwed mothers in our country. The fact of the matter in all this is that the OP is half right, women do need to be reminded that men are still interested in them, just as men do. They just need it in different ways.

Everyone knows that there are many unmarried mothers in this country, but 40% is shocking. It's not a surprise that Utah has the lowest percentage of children born out of wedlock, but why is D.C. the highest?
