Most men don't have a life. Instead we have an act, an outer show, kept up for protection. We pretend things are fine, that everything is cool, and sometimes we even fool ourselves. But ask a man how he really thinks, and the first thing he thinks is "What am I supposed to say?" The average man today is deeply unhappy, but he would be the last to admit it.

Most women are not like this. Women today act from inner feeling and spirit, and more and more they know who they are and what they want. The Women's Movement helped this along, but women were always more in touch with themselves and each other. The men in relationships with these strong and healthy women are no match for them, in every sense of that word. Conversations go nowhere, and relationships collapse, because to be in a relationship, you have first to know who you are, and the man does not have this worked out.
