It's interesting that you mention this in only one direction - because men need women as well - maybe even more than women need men. My man has told me as much many times over.

But I certainly don't need a man who is dead weight, which is what the current discussion revolves around. Women never said they don't want a strong man they can depend on. They've said they don't want a leech on their time and resources.

Just wanted to make sure we are on the same page about what the need actually is - it is the need for connection that my man provides. But he also provides for my every physical, emotional, spiritual, and sexual need as well.
