It’s not that nice when you’re always the one who has to initiate

From the minute a young man becomes self-aware, he’s being taught that he must be the one who chases and takes the lead, but also risks rejection if the woman doesn’t want him. Well, sometimes it works out just fine, but sometimes the pill is just too hard to swallow.

I think it’s safe to say by now that the entire globe knows that women aren’t heard when it comes to relationships, and we should thank Oprah for that. This story is as old as Christianity: women share their challenges with men in order to get support, and the only thing that men can say is “Here’s what to do”.
