Why is it okay?

Hi,

"Why is it okay for a man to do whatever he wants whenever he wants in a relationship but a woman has to be on her best behavior all the time?"

I have yet to find an answer to this question but I have a theory.

Men have to remain as the Alpha-Dog, being in control of anything possible in a relationship to hide their true fear of commitment.

Everyone knows that in the real world women control almost every aspect of a relationship. Only because an unhappy woman = very unhappy man! Some men would call it a sure way for them to get out of commitment and back on the market.

So I ask What Do You Think?
