This article makes me uncomfortable.

Not that you don't make valid points, at least regarding many men, and regarding some of what is necessary in mutual accommodation for a healthy partnership.

But it feels, frankly, both naive and condescending, as you fail to acknowledge that men are at a disadvantage emotionally, the result of growing up in a patriarchal culture that conditions them to stuff their feelings and ignore most other people's. We aren't taught the emotional vocabulary, introspection, self-regulation, or sensitivity to nuance in relationships and interactions that most women take for granted. (I covered this in a recent article, "Are Men More Rational than Women?")

It isn't women who need to try harder, be more understanding, or make more adjustments in relationships with men. It is men who need to step up to the plate and demonstrate that they value relationships enough to do the necessary growing, listening, and learning.
