So when you take away the traditional reasons why women have needed men men really have very little leverage and they know it(although most can't/won't consciously admit it). Men, unlike women, become unnattractive to the other gender as soon as they start making trouble, so the influence that would be expected to flow from women's alleged "wanting" doesn't amount to much: if men make any attempt to use it, it disappears. Men's behavior would make a lot more sense to women if women were willing to face up to this fact.
