I have no issue with you dispensing advice about how to be a good partner, but you're still highly attached to hierarchy - no matter how benevolent and I have a problem with that - because that's the core of patriarchy -relationship hierarchy, and nothing good can come of it.

And did you miss the part where I noted that Paleolithic women were also hunters, including big game hunters. Australian aboriginal men go off on religious retreats all the time for sometimes weeks and everybody does fine without the other gender. That doesn't mean that there isn't some benefit to working together as a full tribe, but it's not necessary - and you've made it sound like it is. Women do not require men in order to eat meat or to protect themselves or whatever else you've invented. You are reinforcing the outdated belief that men have to "provide" something in order to be valuable and important when all they actually need to do is to show up with an open heart and a willingness to collaborate for the good of the relationship.

If you meet one of me every day, perhaps you ought to stop and consider that we all have a point and you should rethink yours.
