Woman & her Man

When a man is devoted to his wife, he is ridiculed, called names and generally frowned upon. But, the same behavior in a woman is taken in stride without batting an eyelid. A woman's place is besides her husband, they say. She can work, have her friends but she has to be devoted to his needs, they say.

So why can't we accept the same behavior in a man. Why is that when a man cares 'too much' for his wife's needs, he is ridiculed? Is this because of the hunter-nurturer legacy left for us by our cave-dwelling ancestors?

Animal kingdom has many examples where nurturing is done by the male and the female is the provider. But as human beings, the supposedly intelligent beings that we are (!!?), we cannot accept what is termed as role-reversals.

A man just might like to don the apron to whip up a nice hot meal for his wife, after setting up the house the way she likes it, so that when she walks in, she will walk in to a home smelling of delicious food and looking the way she just likes.

As far as I am concerned, there is nothing wrong in the above scenario, as long as both the woman and her man are happy!
