As to CP's post, indeed I have been inappropriately approached at work, and I'll concur that women don't have all the power.

As for masculinity, I think what you both perceive women wanting is correct, but only for your generation. (Yep, I'm assuming CP is GenX, and notice I typed perceive. That's important.) I like to put it in terms of movies. Every action-hero boomer movie stars a man, and women are just sex-interest supporting roles. In subsequent generations, action-hero movies also star women in the title role. Personally, I like when a man acknowledges there's more to my life than simply having a supporting role.

I have been inappropriately approached at work as well. It is not just a woman thing. The difference is that my complaining would have been greeted by derision while a woman's complaints would have likely caused me to lose my job.

I am pretty sure that all generations are quite pleased with a female heroine...as long as she is doing something physically possible. I would agree however...that most men of my generation are pretty sick of the guy always being stupid, bumbling, and incapable of empathy as in most television shows/commercials.
