The Great Illusion: Why Women Submit to Power, Not Love

Gentlemen, gather around, for the truth must finally be told! You see, they’ve been feeding you fairy tales—whispering sweet nothings into your ears about love, generosity, and protection. "Give her the world," they said. "Cherish her, spoil her, shield her from the storms of life, and she will be yours forever."

What a joke.

Picture this: A man, proud and devoted, showers his wife with gifts, adoration, and unwavering loyalty. One evening, thirst grips him, and he asks for a glass of water.

What does his beloved do? She points at the dispenser with the grace of a queen dismissing a servant. "You have hands," she reminds him. Ah, but watch the same woman at work—where her boss, a man who barely acknowledges her existence, clears his throat ever so slightly. Suddenly, she is racing to make coffee, smiling like an angel who has just found her divine purpose.

Now, let’s add another twist. This husband of hers—the one she so effortlessly dismisses—pays her ten times what she earns in that office. Yet, whom does she respect more? The boss. Why? Because submission, dear brothers, is not the offspring of love or financial provision. No, no. It bows only before power.

A woman does not yield to a man who loves too deeply, gives too freely, or understands too much. No, she submits to the man she fears losing, the one who holds himself above, never beside. Give too much, care too much, and watch how quickly she places you in the dreaded category of "the weak." She needs a reason to chase, to earn, to feel the cold brush of uncertainty. Only then does she respect. Only then does she submit.

So, abandon this foolish notion that kindness will win her heart. Instead, set boundaries, demand respect, and make her earn every privilege. Should she falter, should she forget her place—walk away. Let her seek a softer man, a more generous fool. But you, dear man, must never become that fool.
