-Caveat Lector-
Andrew I think you may have something there about men becoming redundant
to some women.
However if you look at enough of these surveys asking men what they want
they often stress - independance, sense of humour etc. Do you ever see
men saying I'd like to be a protector of women, a knight in armour etc
I've heard of men actually looking for a working woman so that they'll
be sure to pay half the mortgage. I think at the turn of the century men
were dependant on women to feed them and clean up after them but nowdays
they want a buddy, preferring the freedom of not having to conform to a
ritual of being the breadwinner. They expect women to be intelligent and
to get a life. I think they fear being bored with someone, so the woman
is obliged to be interesting every minute as it's so easy to get another
partner.
Personally I think men nowdays want too much compared to what they are
offering women. We now worry whether they will end up being dependant
slobs, so the tables have turned!

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
