@stephanne221: I think the backlash we are seeing from women in regards to dating men is some serious alarm bells in the dating world and attachment dynamics. I think the alarm bells are serving to warn women and folks with anxious attachment styles to not overfunction, self-abandon, or allow themselves to stay in emotionally neglectful relationships. I do believe this directly correlates to what I am seeing around women wanting men to evolve their providership into the field of emotions — aka women want men to meet their emotional needs and provide emotionally, which I think is also what women in the 50s, 60s and 70s wanted too, but their survival needs were more threatened so they were positioned to seek safety in finding a man who would financially provide. But as women became their own financial providers, it freed them up to identify what they actually need and want in a relationship and they are speaking up! They want an emotional connection with their parents (along with physical). What do you guys think? @Chanté Joseph thank you so much for doing this research and composing such a thought provoking piece! #dating #breakup #divorce #relationships #women
