Without some sort of "arbitrary" advantage such as socially assigned authority, high status roles, money etc., the average man can't compete with the average woman when it comes to sexual and emotional influence. When men and women are economically equal the woman is always in charge. Of course women describe this as meaning only that men can't "abuse" and "exploit" them. Short of hormone treatments that make women's sexual and romantic interest in men as strong and as impervious to distraction/destruction by obnoxious behavior as the sexual and romantic interest men have in women is I don't see this ever changing. Education may help people deal with it but it can't change the underlying facts.
