This generation of men really does have the audacity. They want a woman who submits like it’s the 1950s, but also works like it’s 2025. They want her to cook, clean, stay soft, agreeable, and quiet, cater to their ego, and never challenge them. At the same time, they expect her to earn money, split bills, hustle nonstop, and never complain. They want a full time homemaker and a full time provider in one person… while they show up with half the effort and twice the entitlement.
They love to romanticize submission, but they skip the part where a man is supposed to lead with love, security, provision, and protection. They want obedience without offering stability. Control without responsibility. And that’s not tradition… that’s manipulation dressed up as values.
Healthy submission is never forced. It’s a response to real leadership. A woman softens naturally when she feels safe, protected, and genuinely valued. But too many men expect submission while she’s exhausted from carrying half the household and most of the emotional labor. They want her nurturing, but never needing support. Independent, but never intimidating. Loyal, but still proving she’s worthy.
Women aren’t machines. We get tired. We need support too. We aren’t meant to hold every role perfectly while being criticized for not being feminine enough at the same time. That contradiction is draining. And it’s deeply disrespectful.
So no… you don’t get to demand a submissive woman while keeping her in survival mode. If you want softness, create safety. If you want gentleness, bring consistency. If you want submission, be the kind of man who leads with integrity, care, and responsibility.
Because asking a woman to bow while you haven’t built anything solid for her to stand on makes no sense at all.
