I believe men are afraid of strong women. They may bleet about these women being the "femmes du jour et substance". They will even give in to their seductive wiley charms and be swayed by the momentary pleasures offered. Trust me, but they settle for absolute girls next door, who offer no threat. Why do I say it with such conviction? I see it all around me. Men seduced by sexy, speak-their-mind, I-know-I-will-not-take-shit, women. Look beside him, the woman who wears his ring is a tepid version of his aunt.
Just because a woman oozes appeal and strength, she's not the male version of a predator. She's just speaking for all the generations that had to be subservient, a cook, a laundromat, a suckling machine, a punching bag, a well of tears that cannot burst and of course, a hole
She's saying I am strong but I still want you to carry me across the threshold, I love making love and I don't always want to turn cartwheels just because I look like a sex kitten, I can afford the flowers and diamonds but do surprise me with them as I am a woman.
I have heard conversations of how men after a few years of marriage wish they had a woman with all the above women rolled into one. Give them one on a platter and they will find excuses why she's not his type. That's because they are afraid of losing women like these. Oh, but these are the women they fantasize a life with, well a fantasy never hurt anybody.
