In Novak's defense....
I think the point she was trying to make--although she said it rather poorly--is that independant women (such as myself) can ask for help from her man every now and again.
I read that same snippet on CNN.com and what I got from Novak's assertion is that many women scare away men because they act like they don't need help with anything. They've got it covered, thank you very much.
Most men (at least the ones that I've dated) like to feel needed and appreciated by their women. I think so many of us are used to doing everything ourselves, we forget to ask for help. I have been accused of that.
I don't think that Novak was saying we need to relinquish our entire lives (and decison-making) to men. That's a bit extreme.
I've noticed that Broadsheet does knee-jerk reactions sometimes.
