I was in the first generation (mid-60's) of young men wrestling with the changing expectations of women. It became obvious almost immediately that if I was myself, the right situation would eventually evolve. I did, and it did.
What women "want" is simply rational behavior. Sometimes chivilary is nice. Other times, they demand cold equality. Which times are which will be obvious to the "right" mate.
And, this cuts both ways. Men get what they give.
Woman have so many more dimensions in the current era. Indiviuality has a greater chance of surfacing. This is a great opportunity for men, not a cause for frustration. What these younger men are experiences is their own immaturity...which is a good and natural thing. It's a mistake to make more more out of it than it is.
